Its so fucking cold over here. So cold in fact that they cancelled school. I forgot how that works. If it snows enough, or its too cold for the kids to wait for the bus, they cancel school. Its been a while since I had to scrape my windows or use my defroster to actually defrost!
Short of a strange biblical slew of hail in watts, or possibly some shootings, even then, they probably wouldn't cancel school at Markham.
It took me almost a whole day to brave the courage to drive out there. It just looked so scary and unwelcoming out there, but, wanting to see Sarah, I took a chance and drove. Not so bad, driving Erin's SUV made it easy. I don't think my civic would be able to handle it, but, I remember my tiny Nissan doing okay.
With my days in KC winding down, and my life back in LA resuming, I've been having some nasty intense little dreams. I'vehad everything from crazy classrooms, to movie-influenced life or death game shows. I guess my want to stay on break forever, combined with my recent slew of watching strange and violent movies is taking its toll on me.
You think with all my trips back and forth from LA to KC I'd get use to saying goodbye. Not a chance. The comfort I get from looking at her sleep, to holding her hand, to smelling her hair cannot be reproduced. Sure, phone calls and emails help, but, its but a respite from the real experience of her. I've been unfairly wanting to spend all of her free time with her, and I don't want to do that. It's just not a realistic situation. I appreciate her accomodating me though, she is a saint. Like she told me earlier, it is easier knowing that I will be back in KC, with her and my friends and family soon. This coming semester may seem long, but (cheesy shit coming up) love makes it easier to bear.
But, i'm gonna miss the hell out of LA. Even though I know it's not my town, there are some great things out there, many of which I have not gotten the chance to experience. So, at least, that will make it easier. I will try to get out and do some things, knowing that my time in LA is short, and try to stop and smell the flowers. I don't want work to ruin my last few months in LA. At least I can go to Lola's or Largo to see Jon Brion play every friday If needed. Plus, my cousin Walter is in the OC now, and I can go hang out with him. Not to mention my awesome LA friends, who I haven't been able to see much of lately. This will change this semester.
Anyways, i'll be back in town Sunday afternoon, the Lonely Hearts club of Jenn, Mark, and myself will be back in order. Anyone want to become a member? Lets get together.
Time to lesson plan.
