moving
Saturday night was great, but we forgot to watch the meteor shower.
I had a show at Politics & Prose in DC. I was pretty happy with it. A girl by the name of Asha played first, then me, then Kelly Reidy, who is always in top form. Her songs never fail to jab just the right nerve, you know? "XYZ/IJK" is like that, about being part of only a specific time and space (4-dimensions. the physics gets lost on me but the sentiment is universal).
at one point ian svenonius from nation of ulysses and weird war came in, looking confused and lost, and watched part of kelly's set. i don't think any of my friends there ever listened to nation of ulysses, but i was impressed. he was DJing at this pizza place next door.
we went over to Laura's after the show and everyone was positively manic. So good. there were no more than 12 of us there, just sitting around the living room bullshitting. ryan, holly and jeff and i played scrabble, but i couldn't concentrate very well and ended up losing pretty miserably. holly spelled a 95-point word. pretty sick. sara and i kept exchanging happy and doting looks from across the room. hm. such a fulfilling and satisfying feeling, having someone like sara. for all the insecurity i harbor, that girl makes me so happy.
at one point i was tickled to the point of collapse as an entire couch full of girls attacked me. the boys were outside smoking and talking philosophy (suckers). when we walked back to school and i raced jeff down nebraska. he's got longer legs, so he pulled ahead, but i got him on distance.
now i'm in hazelton, pennsylvania, alone in laura's house. when she gets back from her doctor's appointment, we'll hit the town i suppose. maybe i'll buy some jeans.
