In spite of my crankiness, today turned out to be a pretty damn good day.

I was sitting in my office (at home) this morning, and sort of idly marveling about how nice it was outside, and I could hear the thrumshriek of cicadas singing their summer song. I was wondering when I would first begin to notice hearing them.

I got to talk to one of my favorite people on the phone today, and I got to talk to another of my favorite people in messenger the other night, and today that really resonated with me.

I just got back from wildsoda's place. We saturated ourselves in MST3K, and she made me the most lovely necklace in deep blue and green and silver. What a happy birthday present, I tell you (yeah, it's Thursday. It sort of snuck up on me.)

So now I am home and still up and thoughts are roaming.

Roam roam roam
Sweet thick incense and warm summer night. My lips feel dry in the late hour and air, my eyes just a little bit heavy. I would just love for someone to brush my hair right now. I'll just have to settle for myself, yup.

It seems like, from all the all-nighters I've pulled so far this year, that this part of the night is the very darkest. I can feel the darkness all around me, and it even seems to swallow up the orange sodium glare from the streetlamps outside. It seeps.

It's probably a good idea for me to sink into the velvet of it and catch sleep before that stretched blue thin time that comes in an hour or two.
