on the train to baltimore, 705 post, 07 22 2001
something wonderful. i'm on a train riding back to baltimore from washington
dc. dustin yoon to my right and jenny lah at one-thirty. this weekend has
been several things: a celebration to the end of summer school, a small
reunion of sorts with pleasant company from high school days, and (more)
discovery of realities surfacing gradually and gracefullly. i've had such a
relaxing time here--freeing myself and enjoying good, filling, sometimes
dirty humors with far-from-lost acquaintances. i feel myself gloriously
alive, witnessing things anew and welcoming an unambiguously fresh
enthusiasm for the experiences yet to be owned. i contemplate these things
as jenny looks vacanly into the emerald blur around us, very evidently
captured by anticontext. dustin stares straight ahead--the magnificent host.
jenny the hostess with whom i've gladly enjoyed a reconnection. visiting
different universities, however refreshing and! anticontextual, can be
envy-forming for me. so many worlds, almost mine. i want to despite the word
"if." sigh. but such is life. all compliations are requisite. i am a
stronger person. a recap: arriving at bwi saturday morning. take a taxi to
hopkins and see dustin's room. meet eric. have lunch at niwana. taxi to
greyhound for bus to dc but thwarted by unavailable shuttle buses and
less-than-stellar customer service. taxi to penn station for a train ride to
dc. take the metro to the mall and see monuments for the first time. drink
warm lemonade. sprawl ourselves on the grass and chatter like little girls,
laugh like little boys. contact jenny. metro to dupont circle for dinner at
expensive italian bistro cafe. laugh and enjoy friends. metro to jenny's
room at george washington university. metro to the movies in virginia and
watch sexy beast. ! terrible. metro home and talk about our lives. it's fun.
i fall asleep to a background of jenny and dustin conversing. i dream about
sarah and her newest obsession. it's her birthday. wake up and get ready for
the day. head out and give sarah a happy birthday wish. meager breakfast.
walk to the lincoln memorial, reflecting pool, washington monument,
smithsonian natural history museum, national art gallery, and the capitol.
metro to jenny's. metro to union station. ride a train to baltimore--this is
now.
i love the guitar. i hate meeting assholes. two of them yesterday. it's hard
to be Christian around them. the sun's in my eyes. blindings of some sort.
desires of another crazy future, flashing faces. my goodness. this weekends,
this week, this month and soon enough school will start again. sophomore
year. i'll be trying to make sense of everything all over again... with so
much more distraction. i hate distraction. i guess that's why i've loved
this summer. and i think i think about people more than they think of me.
dustin says i shouldn't get upset. fine. who's upset?
