today i spent the day with matt and had dinner with brannon and russell and stacey and anthony and rafael and belinda and then came home to pete and tyler. i caught up with an old friend who is still super fantastic. i had coffee in a place i love. i made a cake. i petted shrimp and anemones and sharks and starfish and stingrays. i was winked at. i was appreciated. i got to talk about brains and the internet. i ripped my skirt, but i know i can fix it.
if you'd told me in august of 2009, at the height of my isolation, how happy i'd be one year later, i would have delivered a bitter, knowing little laugh. but i did not know anything. do you remember the time i stopped engaging with my world? me neither.
