Nighttime

2 nights ago i was n my porch, and it felt different. the air was crisp, but still. no breeze. not a car drove by, and i couldn't hear a single bird, owl or bat. no crickets, no people walking home from the bars, no parties. not a sound. it was the most peaceful it's ever been outside my house. and i just sat there, and thought. for awhile actually, it was nice. the sky was orange too i couldn't see a single star and it was like a blue orange. like the clouds were orange and just the bits of blue sky that are managing to poke through are causing almost a speckled look across the sky. i have to admit, it was quite the enjoyable night. i was outside for about 3 hours, thinking and then talking to my sister when she came out to join me. the sun was starting to rise when i finally went in to sleep.

I think I have a boyfriend now, I'm not sure? if that in anyway can make sense. there is this boy, and he is very sweet, and very kind, and he very much likes me. i went to school with him for seven years, and never really thought about it. i had classes with him, and talked to him about frank zappa, chuck norris and wasco. he was funny, and i was attracted to that, but i never thought about it. i guess he didn't either. and then, on graduation night, we talked, and talked, and talked, and talked and next thing ya now we're admiting we like each other and texting almost 24/7. he's meeting my mom, and i'm planning to meet his family, and blah blah. it's nus how it happened in a way. his name is mike mann, and i hope to make the best out of the two months that we are able to spend together.
