Summer nights feel like freedom

There is something about the feeling of even the air being warm, comforting, and enveloping that makes summer nights different from days; the sounds, the smell, the feel is different. The heat of the day becomes the welcome, fragrant and relaxed embrace of the evening. Sitting at a traffic light, I turned the radio off to hear the sounds of the insects (cicada?). No sooner did I acknowledge the wonder of it, the feeling of being very grateful for that point in time, that the light changed and the insects stopped singing.

Why I am luckier than lucky

I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by more truly amazing people than I ever dreamed imaginable; even those that are far away are counted among this number, for physical space doesn't seem to matter to my heart. There just aren't words that I have found to express my amazed gratitude at all of you; I can honestly say that I love you all, and that amazes me.

Home

I am beginning to understand what that word means; that's attributable to you. Home, for me, is where you are.

Proof that I'm a dork

Thanks to mnd, I became addicted to America's Next Top Model. Sure, cute, lithe model chicks are appealing, but I think it was the homoerotic bonding between Adrienne and Elyse that really made me stop and pay attention. We so desperately wanted the two of them to make out on camera, or run off together; I remain convinced that editing prevented us from seeing the whole story. At this point, it feels like a win for "my team" (whatever that might be) that the bad girl/tomboy with not at all femmey speech patterns won the whole deal. Guess I'm a dork.
