life is pretty smooth right now.
my messy room has been providing me with all of the inspiration i need to keep me sane. i fall asleep with unfinished books on my bedside table and unfinished homework on the pillow next to me. i wake up on the side of the bed that has clothes that need to be hung up and clothes that need to be washed. searching long and hard for one shoe, then finding it and deciding i want to wear a different pair keeps my brain active.
maybe i sound crazy but although i like to be organized, it's this exact disorganization that i need to be inspired and feel at home in a town that i did not grow up in.
today i woke up fully dressed in last night's clothes. the windows have been open, allowing the breeze from the rain to cool the house. records have been playing. i've been drinking teas that are named after flowers and i can't help but be reminded of when i was 8 years old in my grandparent's backyard, soaking lavender and rose petals in water-filled film canisters, hoping i had discovered the secret recipe for homemade perfume.
right now a song is playing and it's making me laugh because it's the song that sarah, kristen, and i made a dance to last weekend. we spent our friday night just getting really stoned and making a fort in our living room listening to this album and as we were laying in our fort, we started synchronizing arm waves to the guitar parts in this song. we added bicycle leg movements and we did the stationary dance until we passed out. somehow we all woke up at 3:30am and just crawled into our beds.
