Travel

Sometimes I know I love you better
than all the others I kiss it's funny

but it's true and I wouldn't roll
from one to the next so fast if you

hadn't knocked them all down like
ninepins when you roared by my bed

I keep trying to race ahead and catch
you at the newest station or whistle

stop but you are flighty about
schedules and always soar away just

as leaning from my taxicab my breath
reaches for the back of your neck

-Frank O'Hara, 1950

So Much Love!

Okay, if I ever had an inhibitions about joining a sorority, those are all out the window now. I LOVE my sisters so much! Aaaand I got a Big and a G-big (and a GG-big, a GGG-big, etc.) and they are soooo wonderful!!! My Big is wonderful and so awesome as is my G-big who's on campus. I'm in love.

Pi Beta Phi! Woohoo! I can only imagine it getting better (and probably busier) once I'm initiated. And there is so much love going around. It was so definitely worth it.

I'm in Trouble.

I hadn't thought about how wonderful it would be to be in love till right now. Especially if it's a requited love. Receive kisses and presents and little things along the way and having conversations and dates and all sorts of those things. Goodness. And now I'm in an absolutely amorous state. It would be nice to even be infatuated with someone  I actually know instead of those to-die for celebrities who are much too good for me or older than my parents. I know it sounds weird, but we've all had those. I haven't liked a boy I actually knew since high school. It's pathetic, really. But I haven't thought about it much since; till now, of course. I sound like such a whiny single girl (which I pretty much am) in love with love. Probably shouldn't have watched Love Actually. Should have known, with a title like that. It's got me all hyped and yearning for love and Christmas. Practically the same thing, Christmas and love, because Christmas is so full of love. I should not have watched that movie in October. I don't know how I'm going to survive the rest of the upcoming holidays. Bugger.
