Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Oct. 21st, 2006 01:19 pmAnd since I haven't updated in almost fifty five weeks, you guys must really love me :D
Anyhoo, what can I say? The usual real life issues multiplied by my innate laziness plus the niggling fact that I'm just typing to myself equals no updates in ages. I could say I'll do better but that'd probably be a lie.
Okay, let's see. *gets out list and crosses off obligatory apology* Check. Next on the list... Inane mumblings.... So here they are!
This week I've been thinking about three things.
1. On Thursday I happened to hear Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 on the radio. It's been ages since I last heard that song. Probably not since the movie came out. I sat frozen in my chair because... OMG!!! That's like so MY THEME SONG!!! Except for the fact that my boss is a woman and not a man, that song totally sums up my working life. Pretty damn sad.
2. I love autumn. I'm curious to see if there are any like minded folks. Show of hands please! *Waits* Maybe it's not so, but I kind of get the feeling that autumn is not anyone's favourite season. Correct me if I'm wrong. Sure it's wet and cold and the darkness encroaches like a beast on the prowl but there's an oak tree in the centrer of our building's circular drive way that's totally red. RED! It looks like the tree is on fire. I don't know what the other trees that line either side of the drive are but they're wearing their best dress as well. Gold, yellow, orange, it's an explosion of colour that in my mind makes up for the wet deary weather. On the days when the sun manages to shyly peek through the clouds and the air is crisp, it's glorious.
3. Keys. On Friday I opened the door to my apartment building, looked at the keys in my hand and suddenly had an epiphany. Keys rule my life. They are tied to the responsibilities I hold. On my key chain, there is:
- the key to the place where I work. This is the place where ninety percent of my obligations come from.
- the key to my mailbox. This is the place where my bills show up.
- the key to the Cub cupboard. On Tuesdays, I go try to teach young boys things about life and the world.
- the key to the YW cupboard. On Sundays, I try to teach young girls the same thing.
The other two keys on my key chain also rule my life in a totally different way. They are the key to get into my apartment building and the key to my apartment itself. Those keys represent my sanctuary.
Okay! Enough of that! On to the frivolities!
Once more this is totally the fault of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nyxmidnight as so many things usually are. She's the one that introduced me to Nocturne after all. Showing me pictures and babbling incessantly. Without further ado, I give you....
