Not a word of a lie - that's actually a Shakespeare quote. Don't know where it's from, but it is.
Last night was the meteor shower. I went outside at like 12:00, and I stayed until about 2:10. I must have seen 20 or 30 shooting stars! It was awesome. I just lay on the patio, and then later on the piece of shed that fell down, wrapped in two throw blankets and with a throw pillow, and watched the sky. It was so peaceful - that is why I love the night time. I really could be a dwarf, you know. I love hot things (like forges!) and darkness. I love making things (like smithing!), pretty things. But above all, I love the night time. I love it when your eyes adjust to the darkness, and the only colours you can see are blacks and greys and pinks. Lying on the patio in the middle of the night just felt right. It was like I always imagined, only I was all by myself. It felt like I was the only person in the world, and I didn't like that. I like to be with people, even if I don't want to talk to them. If it had been lighter (I know, I just said I liked the dark, and now I'm wishing it had been lighter?) I would have written, and then I wouldn't have felt so lonely, probably.
I guess it's best summed up by this anecdote: Kyle told me about the meteor shower, and said, "Sam and I bought a hammock." Sam is his girlfriend. And then I couldn't picture a better way to watch the meteor shower than wrapped up in a blanket, snuggling with someone you love in the hammock. And that's why it was lonely.
And today I'm going to actually be productive (because I've been working a lot lately, so I'm trying to keep that streak going, even if I have 'til Sunday off), so I'm going to go do that now.
DFTBA,
