Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where! // And we don't know where

Danced on air again last night! Survived until the night Trig. class and waited another 5 min after it started until finally Shannon strolls in late like I usually am. (sigh) Those 3 hours until we got to talk were days, weeks! But class did end and we walked out talking about everything, talked about how I saw the film she told me changed her life when she was 10 ('The Serpent and the Rainbow') and how amazing I thought it was and how interesting the culture around it was to me. We laughed a lot. She brought me a book to borrow called 'Tales From the Medicine Trail' detailing the medical secrets of Shamans, mystics and other healers. It looks fascinating like whoa, hopefully I can break my rule of reading slowly just for this once. We talked and talked, she knows more about cars than anyone I've ever met outside of my fam. (!), talked about working for her Grandfather in a factory a year ago and all the sexual harassment she had to put up with and all the chaos that surrounded her there before she was fired (the "you're fired!" "you can't fire me, I quit!") for basically doing everybody else's job there. We must've been talking for 30 min before either of us realized that a.) It was pitch dark b.) It was quite cold and c.) It was raining quite a lot. It was a moment. It was such a moment, that it totally blanketed the anger/sadness of seeing my beloved Red Sox not only lose in heartbreaking fashion, but to lose their #1 pitcher for the rest of the way. It's a funny game. Did you ever notice on the wrapping for the individual Ivory bar of soap, they have the phrase 'Happiness is a Warm Bath' ? That's such a lift from 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' (bang bang shoot shoot)! Right?
