Pardon a me.
The weather is actually fairly nice right now -- 32 F being what I consider nice these days.
It snowed a little bit more last night, and it was beautiful. Ice splayed out and encrusting tree branches can be really breath-taking.

Last night I took my bike out for a jaunt. I had to use my bike pump to knock the ice off its frame, but I know my buddy appreciated the gesture. We zoomed down dark streets together; he visited with the snow covered landscape as I visited with flesh and blood in warm, bright houses. My hands grew slightly numb (thank you horrid gloves, thanks) as I clutched his appendages and rode home.

I stayed with two friends in their room for awhile. We vocalized many things (dance, relationships, summer jobs, being nervous, being busy). Then then I left and walked (sorry bicycle -- you're still lovely) back to my dormitory and sagged into a couch and spoke with the friends there. Working working working and laughing and being tired and needing coffee (them, not me). And I conversed in Spanish, which will become a routine thing now. I have the need to strengthen my Spanish conversation. I may pick up reading Jurassic Park II again in Spanish -- maybe I'd be more suited to it now.

Gramma -- I have a boyfriend now! And I'm crazy happy, and hope that you meet him sometime.

Okay, lunch soon. Have a splendid day.
