you make my heart do silly things.

tomorrow i am on the look out.
the look out for a chair.
and not just any run of the mill, ordinary chair.
this chair has to be cheap, old and begging for a new paint job.
you see, i'm in the process of furnishing this new house at school.
my room has got to be a good reflection of me.
so first comes the chair, and then comes the desk.
that's how it works, right?
so i'm thinking about colors....
sky blue?
grass green?
eggplant?
either way...it will have new life in color...and then some flair.
i am oh so excited about this.

today i saw an old friend.
he is lovely.
and it was a surprise.
there were hugs and promises of visits in the near future.
this makes my heart dance, because i have so much to tell him.
we grew up together, he knows me better than most, and when i see him again after long periods of time i feel like there's no awkward lull, and that's why i love him.
i need to tell him that more, i need to tell everyone that more...
the reasons i love them that is.
i should start writing these things down, and sharing them.
right?

i learned a song on the ukulele.
my brother's being ever so patient in teaching me.
it's really exciting me to be playing music again.
...
my sister may not appreciate this as much.
she's had the (mis)fortune of me serenading her every move.
hmmm...
she's wonderful, my sister. you should meet her.
sometimes i think she's a better version of me.
