Sadness, like so many grains of sand...

Rene has gone back to Mexico for the summer, Freddie has gone back to South Africa never to return, and the grads are going to move on to bigger and better things. Even though we have all had our problems, I shall miss them all terribly. I made them promise to come back and visit us.

On a happier note, I finally got my stuff from Kelsey's place, which is a good thing. I am so glad Big Sarah is back, because I love her uber-much.

The party on Friday was fun. Vex is really yummy. I had a rather poetic thought, too.

Eyes still glazed and red from tears
Both happy and sad
The delicate flush of rose in the cheeks of teens
Drinking and laughing
A beautiful fire
Under the night sky with little shimmering stars
Dead ghosts of balls of gas burning millions of lightyears away
And still so wonderful
A park were I spent my childhood
Talking with a friend
Talking with many friends
Playing on the wires
Where as I child I fell and cut my lip
And had a nosebleed
And my blood stained the ice
Remembering the tears of pain
And the taste of life in my bleeding mouth
And realizing that such things are gone
And more is to come
Drinking and laughing
A beautiful fire
Sparkling stars and sparkling smiles
Millions of lightyears from now
Those eyes and smiles and soft pink cheeks
Full of alchohol
Will be dead ghosts burning
But still so wonderful

Dang, I should go and do my English assignments to hand in at the last minute by tomorrow. But instead, I am going to make a list of my stuffed animals.
