a quote i love:
"I like to see people reunited, maybe that's a silly thing, but what can I say, I like to see people run into each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone..."

i kind of want to reread that book again. that, and everything is illuminated, and good omens and nineteen minutes and about every book i read last summer ever. last summer was an excellent summer for books. i need to make some more choice discoveries (although i am currently addicted to jodi picoult, and the ending of salem falls completely floored me-- definitely one of her better novels).
this has been the slowest week ever for some reason. maybe it's that i'm anticipating sunday so much, or maybe it's that the weather has been so weird lately (sunny then raining, but it's all right), or maybe it's that i've been so tired ... it's not really a bad slow, it's just been kind of lethargic. i can feel it hanging dense in in the air. sunday is so close that i just want to fast forward to when i'm already in sb and settle in and get on with life! it's kind of weird bc i haven't really been thinking about the fact that i won't be home this summer, and it's really the first summer ever that i won't be home. it isn't sinking in for some reason. hmm...
the best feeling in the world is discovering that you're smiling for no real reason at all, after the fact, and the only reason you realize is that you feel your mouth stretching into this impossible grin that can hardly hold your heart because it's fit to burst. :)
