Words, only words

I feel sad again.  And this is a for-no-good-reason sad.  You know how girls sometimes answer 'i don't know' to a why question? When you know you really like/don't like something, or feel a certain way, but can't put a concrete reason behind it?  My cousin Adam's illustration on how guys view that answer kinda made me look at this response a different way.  He said it's equivilant to someone asking you where you live, and you say 'i don't know.'  But now I'm just being mean to my own sex.   

Have you ever turned an offer down, when it would have been the perfect time, just because you had to go to the bathroom? That happened to me just today actually.  I went to apply to the Italian restaurant Bravos, and I was able to get pretty far in the application process.  I was asked if I could stay 10 minutes longer to wait and talk to another manager.   However, the only reason I asked if I could schedule an interview the next day was that I had to get out of there and pee.  I haven't had to go that bad since I was... really young.   And  I definitely couldn't have excused myself right then; I'm trying to make a good impression.  They can't know that I have the same bodily function as the rest of those six billion humans.  

and the crickets go on singing their evening melody, and the grass gives off its wet summery smell.  light glows from neighboring windows, and i believe there are people inside.   
and it's hard to tell right now, but tomorrow (most likely) the earth will spin as such that our side of the earth will encounter the sun's light.   it will be a new 'day', as genesis first relayed. Not one that we had before and will never have again... in all exactness.  Something to look forward to.

beautiful Steph.

so beautiful, that I quoted you :)

And I say "I don't know" a LOT. But usually I either don't want to think and figure out "why" or I honestly can't put it into words.

Yes, you are on the right path in obtaining your English degree. That is clear to me when I want to read, and read again, your wonderful thoughts.

Each time I check to see if you have a new post, and nothing is there, I am truly disappointed!

Today's post was insightful and delightful!
