'Cuz I like you
Arran will be here in an hour!
I'm very happy, maybe more so because it was a bit of a surprise. Like the time I came home from ice cream with Alpna and everyone I knew and liked (Fei!) was waiting at my house, a surprise 16th birthday. I remember wondering what the big deal was about being 16, but that was the year I fell in love for the first time.
Woah. Non-sequiter. Back that up a bit and you get the Arran visit effect.
She was going to come next weekend, and my Toronto departure was wrecking havoc.
So what is it about this that makes me feel so good?
Well, I've been working pretty hard this week. My factum [read: debating points, or legal argument written out to 7 ore 8 pages] was due on Thursday, and my major biblography was due on the same day. I caugt a cold and suffered some serious writer's angst, finally pouring forth five pages in eight hours. And now all that's over. [except for the cold, that sucks]
I have some time, now, to catch my breath.
And I need to see Arran. I've been feeling a little crappy lately about keeping in touch (see below), and the Toronto trip makes my point. I know so many people in Toronto (Ingrid, Ali, Diana, Steph), all of whom I was pretty close to at some point, and all of whom I feel awkward about calling now. "Hi, I know you haven't heard from me in 3 [or 5 or 5] years, but I wasn't ignoring you, I just can't have long distance frienships, so anyway, can I stay on your couch?". Not even close to being decent.
Arran makes all this better somehow. She's coming to see us. We make her feel better. And she makes us feel better. Dan and I are both so excited we're bouncing off the walls, and it doesn't matter that it's going to rain in Halifax for the 3rd? 4th? 5th weekend in a row? We don't care. We're both so excited about showing Arran everything in the city that the city itself seems prettier, more exciting than ususal.
Half an hour now. I'm going to make bread.
PS: Just finally bough 13 tales from urban bohemia. CD-R, 12 bucks. 2 years in the buying. Sounds so good [on the new STEREO!].
