I don't know why I haven't been coming outside to write more often. They've really got a nice little set-up going on out here. It's much more quiet and peaceful than the common area-- and the wireless internet still reaches the benches. Not to mention, it's unbearably hot in the building-- At least there's a breeze out here. If I there were only an outlet, I would probably be out here every night... Every night that it was raining, at least.
Is it weird that I kind of dig the smell of skunk? It's pretty strong in the lobby right now, and I actually kind of enjoy it. Now, I don't mean that I actually like the smell-- But, it reminds me of driving home from my grandparents in the summer as a little kid, dressed in my stupid Robin pajamas with the Velcro cape, and falling asleep against the seatbelt listening to the deep voiced nightshift guy on PLR. My mom would be talking to my dad about something, and then the smell would flow through the air conditioner-- My brothers and I would chorus a loud 'ewwww' in the back, and my mother would say that it's officially summer. I don't know, with how stressed out I've been lately-- with school, with rent, and other things, it's kind of nice to remember a time when all I had to worry about was waking up in time to watch Power Rangers the next morning.
There are a lot of great moments in my life that I would like to have the chance to relive-- and I'm sure, one day, this will be one of them... But, at the moment, I really want to be back in that mini-van. So sue me.

hi brian. =p
you make me wanna build a fort in the backyard.
...we should do that when you get back...
how the smell of skunk reminds you of a fond childhood memory is beyond me... and yet, I get the sentiment.
