Jun. 9th, 2009 07:39 amThis morning I was getting my coffee and thinking about how I used to hate the smell of coffee on people's breath. It didn't make sense to me - people drank coffee, and crumby bread, eggs, and cheese before kissing their spouse goodbye on the way to work. Now I kiss in the morning, before we've fixed our breath, because today kisses are based on love - not lip gloss. Kisses based on love, not lip gloss. I like that.
I've noticed I'm writing poems in theory lately. In the shower I started to compose a fake angry rant at "lesbians," which would turn out to be a defense of the Wrestler to his daughter and calling her out for being spoiled and unforgiving. I must be a writer because I have opinions on everything but never take the time to write.
I woke up ungodly early, even for me, as the power went out yet again. They are doing work on the power grid since we have huge buildings going up in the area so VA Power is upgrading the entire neighborhood. My problem is I have a phone by the bed that recognizes power outages and warns me with loud beeps that the power is out. Uh, thanks. So at 4:30 I gave up re-sleeping and got up to see t-storms rolling in. Rather than miss them I headed out early to catch the storms, or beat the rain to my car. On the way out, I saw the neighbor that lived above me in the old place, swapped 'mornin's. She went down the street, and with the sky so dark I offered her a ride to the metro. She gladly accepted, and as we squooze into my car (not expecting a passenger I parked up near a bush) another neighbor shy asked if I was going to metro because her car wasn't starting. Sure! I said, and wound up cabbing two of my neighbors to the metro rail station.
I feel very community just from that simple act (I was already early to work) even though, for the first time in ages, I didn't vote in a local election. I screamingly don't care about this one even though I should, with the post endorsee in the lead (I parallel the post's opinion a lot). I tried to research them this morning, but only the times and faux would let me on their sites while the post booted me because I wasn't registered. Even www.bugmenot.com failed me as all their passwords were not working for the post.
Driving as the rain hit my car like rocks. I open the skylight to get the full effect. Radio on but at a reasonable volume that I can't hear while the thunder booms, the rain smacks like hands on the windows and hood, while the lightning draws lines in the sky, lines that fill my car with light. Nifty.
