the odd child
Jul. 14th, 2002 03:44 amI took the Great White Beast (my mother's car) to Delaware this afternoon with the Engineer on a tobacco run. Amazingly enough, this was the first time I've ever driven to that location on my own.
And I must say, that I quite enjoyed it. The area which I had to drive through to get there was extremely lovely. Something which I'd never really noticed before, as when I go with my mother I usually have my nose in a book the entire drive down.
But, there were trees and grass and oh, such a blue sky it made my heart hurt to look at it. Windows down and my newest mixed CD playing ('happy in a teapot' is the name which I gave it).
It was...the countryside. I am still in awe of it. Mostly because it reminded me of places which I'd flown to before. And also because it's so very rare these days that I get out of the apartment for such a stretch of daylight, that I was beginning to wonder what it looked like. At least this summer I won't have to worry much about accidential tan lines.
The evening was spent kicking the ass out of Diablo 2, going to the cinema to see Halloween: Resurrection (ha! ha!), and hitting the diner with the Engineer and the Priest They Called Him (who calls me his Peaches).
The Priest and I discussed mirrors, because we were seated next to a wall of them. And how uncomfortable they made him and how, despite the fact I am also uncomfortable around them, my actions bring to mind that of a parakeet who continually has to look sidelong at the other birdie.
I am driven to look into a mirror, despite the fact that I don't much care for what I see looking back at me. Especially these days, when I do nothing but feel loathing and horror for the girl I see.
( Anyway. )
