damn.. its been 5 days..

well, the good news is that my car is here!!! life is infinitely better!! the sobering news is that i am not the fantastically gifted driver that i always suspected i was. although i am very close to perfection, there is something by way of wandering attention that needs some attending.

going to atlanta felt like one big, comfortable, warm, loving, protecting, enveloping hug. people there actually care. i got about 10 phone calls close to my arrival into charleston, from friends who were concerned about my first big, solo drive.

i love those hugs when you hug someone and you feel a sense of protection, affection and genuine love (ofcourse platonic etc.). i brought fitzwilliam's fish tank, so he won't be in the very huggable fishbowl. maybe i'll stick a fake fish in the fish bowl and hug it anyway.

naaa.. i think life has moved beyond the pathetic phase. atleast now everyday there is the exciting game of will i be alive at the end of the day in my most beloved car and also, will i remember to disengage the damn parking brakes before driving away?!?!?!?! (my friend would kill me, but i think i drove about 30 miles on the interstate with the damn parking brakes on! :P)

i feel exhausted.. the car is glorious.. i love it..
/me crosses her finger with hopes for a happy august.
