If you don’t fight for something, it isn’t going to be worth anything if you ever get it. Does that seem straightforward enough? If you don’t go out and after the things you want, instead waiting to see what develops, you’re giving up on something before it ever starts. Of course, sometimes going after something can be just as painful as waiting forever for it. In that case, is the pain worth the eventual result? Is a fight worth a win? Even for a sad little pacifist like me? I only ask because i’m not incredibly sure…

Lightning. Today was a day fit more for the end of May rather than the beginning of April, but i suppose all that ambient humidity and those fat white clouds are getting a bit restless now that night has settled, and so they’re putting on a show. If it starts coming down soon i’m going out in the street to dance in circles and look up into it all. I miss good rain like that; we haven’t had too much of it this year (or the warmth you need to appreciate it). Rain that drives you inside because an umbrella or rain slicker won’t do the slightest good, but beckons you out because the drops are thicker than any ones your shower might produce tomorrow morning. I want to be drenched in them.

So, yeah, anyhow, i really shouldn’t spend all day swooning over girls with boyfriends, no matter how much i like them and how much i coulda/shoulda/woulda asked them to go do something somewhere before they had a boyfriend. Which is not to say i’m not going to keep talking about her all week, but i don’t want to make her blush too much.

Do all incredibly cute blonde girls get nicknamed Tink? I only ask because, my (cute blonde) co-worker Trish says she’s never heard anything of the like, but Laurel had an email address with ‘Tink’ in it too… any thoughts on this little conundrum?
