the scientist

"nobody said it was easy."

i got to hang out with Twyla all day, she shopped for her prom dress and I got to make fun of the silly ones. why do prom dresses have pockets now? I bought a new hat and some shoes, the same white ones i had before they got ruined in the rain and nailed to a board.

On BART on the way home, i became instantly bummed. She was the first familiar face I've seen outside of my immediate family in months. We were supposed to be going to New Mexico this month, but now it's being pushed to next. I want to see Jake, and I want to see Brad before he goes off in the military.

My whole family is breaking apart, husband against wife, sister against brother, mother against son. Only two or so months in this house, thank god. Everyone is under an immense amount of stress for different reasons, and we're all taking it out on each other.

I'm most excited about seeing Jake just to give him a hug, and do a lot of crying. It's true, we will cuddle and cry for days.
