Happy Halloween

Why is it so hard to say goodbye on the phone?
"Alright....so....I should let you go"
"Okay. Yeah"
"Alright"
"Okay"
"So....I'll talk to you later"
"Yeah. Okay."
"Alright"
"Kay"
"Okay"
"Yep Alright"
and then the awkward quick"bye"
I don't get it.

Fall-ing To Pieces

fall is my new favorite season. i have no idea why that is. i used to hate it. it is a grim reminder that winter is coming. things start to die - including my aunt, grandfather, and kitten who all passed away this time last year. i feel like i am somehow betraying myself by enjoying this fall. for some reason the crisp air in the morning puts a small smile in my life instead of the usual feeling of doom. i didn't mind scraping the frost off my car for the first time. i'm looking forward to the great pumpkin masacre that is halloween. and so it may be going against everything i think i should be feeling, but i suppose that i will take the bizarre feeling of serenity however i can get it...

on a side note, thanks chicago dave. i'm honored. really. thanks.
