Frosty Days

[liptonrm_backup]

Woke up this morning and there was frost on the roofs of my neighborhood. The air was crisp nearly to the point of cold and the sky was a pale, delicate blue.

Last night, as the minutes counted down to the beginning of Lost I could feel myself getting more and more excited. It's so much fun to once more have a show that effects me so much in a good way. As the show began my phone rang, and I ignored it. If people want to call me at 8PM on Wednesday they're just going to have to settle for my voicemail. I was really getting into the episode and then not two minutes later my phone rings again! It was a commercial this time, so I run over to pick it up because the Da occassionally gets Very Important Phonecalls. It turned out to be the Democratic Party (or some affiliate) asking me to donate to John Kerry's campaign! I know how important this election is and I'm willing to put in a couple bucks to the cause but don't call me during Lost!

(I'd make a joke here about changing my vote, but that's just something I can't laugh about, not right now when the whole election is so serious and the possibilities so frightening.)

I think I need some chocolate or a nice afternoon stroll or, perhaps, both.

Sounds like the beginning of a very lovely novel I'd like to read. How about sharing the chocolate and the stroll with me?

I know exactly what you mean. I felt the same way last night. I tried to explain it to my roommate and she looked at me like I had grown a second head. Clearly, she doesn't get it, lol.

I finally caught an episode of Lost and I must say it's very entertaining! Then I got the best news, as they are going to show the first two episodes on Saturday from 8-10. The VCR will be set...

Lost is the greatest! I'm so glad that you're beginning to fall under its spell because, hey, who doesn't want to think about what he/she would do if stranded on a desert island?

No, your roomate clearly doesn't get it. I can empathize, most people I know in real life don't 'get it' either. Thank goodness for the internet, where our own kind dwell;-).

And hee, I'm getting excited just thinking about the fact that we get to see it again next week.

Certainly! Come along and enjoy the stroll.

The sun shines dappled through the part-colored leaves. They rustle quietly overhead, green and red and yellow joined together in a many colored canopy. The air is soft and cool with only a hint of the winter's chill that will gradually appear in the oncoming months. I feel it cool on my face, grateful for my jacket as I my feet crunch through the first fallen leaves of autumn.

The path widens and the trees fall away as I travel into a green, verdant park. The sun shine downs warmly upon my head and I lift my face to its warmth. I bask in it a joyful smile on my face. I am grateful for perfect autumn days and their delicious blend of cool breezes and bright sun.

My feet move onward and I open my eyes. My smile grows as I notice the figure sitting on a bench off the side of the path. I sit down beside it, her, a friend I've never met and have known forever. I offer her one of the cups I am carrying and say, with a happy grin, "Would you like some hot chocolate?"

*hugs you and takes a sip from the cup*

That was absolutely lovely, dear.
