the sound returns to silence
let’s just talk about what matters about my preview. Last monday night, i went out with will and lacey to see the movie alfie. it was excellent. i was expecting a nice break from indie films with a romantic comedy. but what i got actually had some depth when you get down to it. and it was really well acted and well written. i had a kickass time. and it was nice to hang out with someone that i don’t usually hang out with, i.e. will and lately even laceroo.
after the movie will suggested that we go out to see the aurora borealis cos you could allegedly see it from north topeka that night. so i agreed to go with him and lacey went back to campus cos she had post-movie plans. thus we trudged out to north topeka and found this spot at like 65th and nickel road and parked his car and i laid on the side of the road and looked at the stars and felt so insignificant. it was the most amazing feeling. like everything is so much bigger than me and i am whole and one with everything and yet still seperate. the most amazing brain-high. where everything feels like it will be completley okay if only because none of it matters. amazing. we laid in front of his car on a blanket for a while so that we wouldn’t get hit and could have a good view on a flat surface. toward the end we could kind of see the northern lights but after how beautiful the stars had been, not seeing the northern lights wasn’t too big of a disappointment.
then, we went to lola’s because they had a bathroom and morgan was just getting off work so we said we’d pick her up out back at 11:00 when she was finally off and then we left to go back to campus and grab my jacket. so we did that and then we picked up morgan and went out north on rochester, around 70th i think, and sat on the side of the road and talked about so many different things. and this time i fel so important. like i mattered so much and everything mattered so much. but still, everything would be okay. another excellent time under the stars.
post-star-gazing we went to IHOP and i returned home at approx 2 am. class at 10. oops.
