Cruel Summer...

It's frickin cold. I can't believe it: It feels like October outside! The tan I've only had for a week has all but faded out! I was so looking forward to lying on the deck all weekend, reading, basking in the Vitamin B12 or whatever that the sun would be drenching me with... But no. Alas, it was rainy and cold all weekend. Even my pull-out bed with the dozen pillows and double duvets didn't keep me warm last night! Where have you gone, summer weather??

Rene and I had an interesting Friday night. We kept ourselves sane by transforming the plant into the stage for a whacked-out Porno... It was terrible, and hilarious all at once. I'm still on the lonely side, though. I miss a lot of people from "home": Brian, who's emailed me and chatted a bit, whom I miss muchly, Sarah, whose absence is like a hole in my soul, Dave, who I've been missing for a while now, Ana, who remains the cheerful bird on my shoulder, Geoff, Tabs and Danny, my magical hosts, the entire SOS crew (there are so many, and I *heart* you all), Mike, my soon-to-be-roomate (don't worry, we'll soon be sick of eachother), Chris, Tony, Jen and the Crew, and Todd. Todd (who assures me he reads this on occasion): I've been thinking about you recently, just curiosity about you, and how you're really doing. I know we're growing apart, but with luck, I'll get to see you soon.

Weather truly does affect mood. A few months ago, on a day like this, I would have spent the day in bed, sleeping, or being depressed. Now, though I'm still feeling a bit down, I'm not crushed. I'm not overwhelmed, and I'm not in tears. This is a good thing. Though, I'm still lonely. I guess I'm craving a bit of the life I had at home, where I went out on weekends, and had places to go. I mean, I finally have a car, and I have nowhere to take it, no road-trips, no adventures... I don't know.

I don't really have a lot else to say right now. I'm cold, and kinda tired. We're going to see Sarah McLaughlan tonight, which should be fun. right now, I think I'm going to take a long, hot shower, and then take a nap.
