I remember when Hazel and Mom and Mrs Hurkens picked me up from the halifax airport, that hazel and I were both exhausted and drained for the long trip, or work, and lack of sleep, yet the two of us sang and sang and sang sooo many songs, and where one didn't know words, the other filled in.
I also heard Steeleye Span's 'Dance With Me' at work tonight and saw some people's heads bobbing, not paying attention to the words.... Ahh, I have an idea for a story from that song. I must remember it, so that I can put it to paper sometime. I haven't finished writing 'Happiness Man' yet. But I remember how it is to end, so all is well.
I remember.... other things. I remember that it was at this same time last year, I believe, that I was planning to move from a placxe that was acceptable but still suffocating with its security excesses to a place where I would be with friendlier people and feel more comfortable. Boo to Victoria Hell, yay to M&I. Wish things were going better for them, but know they will both be okay, in the end. Actually, I can't exactly remember if I made that move at the end of June or July. I remember the feelings were similar to the present... Frustration at the necessity of moving while still anticipating the goodness of where I would wind up.
I am in a very musical/artistic mood, which is not a good thing when it is almost 1:00 and you have in the past been accused of being 'inconsiderate of people who are trying to sleep' by the person who lives on the other side of the wall. No singing, no recorder.... If I were home, I would sing, or play or both, knowing that even if people there would be annoyed, they would at least understand. Sometimes after midnight is the *only* time to play very resonant drums.
Tonight at work, people I tyalked to expressed sadness at my leaving. I don't know how sincere they all were, but I think some of them will miss me somewhat, though I never really got to know many people. I didn't see everyone I was hoping to, though. Alex was there to *see* a movie, but she didn't see me, I don't think. Or was busy with her parents. Or is just a bit moody. Sarah from ESM brought in her boyfriend, and I introduced him to Dre (Andrea) as a job seeker. Which may work out well because he apparently has pizza experience and that is something that Galaxy is looking for (for the Pizza Pizza and New York Fries stand). So do something good for Sarah, who I like, and feel a little less guilty about leaving there. Two more shifts at ESM, which I suspect will both be short, as the restaurant hasn't been especially busy of late.
Now I must decide if I will try to sleep or if I will read, or maybe even pack. I want to listen to music still, though :/ But if I read more books, I can release them instead of taking them back with me. Which reminds me, I have to get a couple ready to leave behind tomorrow. Must make list of things to do.
Once again.... this is enough. I keep losing the plot and am typing from the stream of my thoughts instead of any theme I initially set out with.
