Spring is on the way.
I can feel it in the air, that slight change between frigid winter air and a touch of warmth hidden behind a cool breeze. I can see it in the length of the day and the bright sunshine breaking the steel grey of winter. I can hear it in the birds chatting in the morning so absent through the long months of winter. I can smell it in that oh so subtle tang in the air of growing things on the verge of bursting to life; the smell of grass and flowers and trees ... and green.
Yes, the smell of green. The smell of St. Patrick's Day. The sound of drunks running past our building, hollering and yipping with glee. The sound of horns honking as the endless stream of cars headed for nearby bars drive by. I suppose that's what you get for working in the middle of one of the largest concentration of bars in the city. The sound of too-loud music thumping from passing cars. The fear that your car, parked oh so innocently in the parking lot is going to get trashed by partyers who are already drunk at 2:30 in the afternoon.
You can try to ignore the madness, but it is difficult when you already have spring fever. I want to be outside. I feel like my body is expanding, reaching, trying to find the fresh air it knows is just outside that thin plate of glass called a window. I could open the window, but I know it would make the desire to be outside in the sunlight that much stronger. So, I'll sit inside, listening to the craziness outside my window and biding my time until 5:00. It might help if this pdf would export a little faster.
Life is filled with shades of grey; the trick is to see them as a rainbow rather than a cloudy day.

It seems every evening I want to be outside it starts raining. Like last night. I came home after noting the beautiful weather of the day, step outside and it's gray and obvious rain comin'.

*sneaks in, all tricksy-like* Hello. ^^ Ah, this be Chevira Lowe! I wrote a fic (Crescendo), you reviewed it (very nicely!) and as a result, I decided to sneak-attack upon you to thank you for your lovely comments. In my curiousity, I also checked out your website and the art-work there, and was absolutely in awe of your drawings. You really manage to bring the characters you draw to life, that's such a nifty talent.
Aaaaaaanypoodle. Thanks again. You totally made my day. ^^
/end randomness.
~Chevira.
Chevira, don't know if you'll bother to come back and read this, but I just wanted to say you made my day by tracking me down and leaving me this note. Thank you for the compliment on my drawings as well!
Thank you for sharing your randomness!
*bothers to come back and read it, omg*!
Dude. Do you have AIM or something of that ilk? I should love to come and pounce on you.
Chevira,
Sadly, it's been so long since I've used AIM that I can't remember exactly what my screenname is. But I may just have to open it up again and find out. It would be fun to chat. I think my screenname is Elessar717...I think. I used that one a lot back then.
I'll have to check it out. What's your screen name?
Well, I have a number of them, but the one I'm on most often these days is 'Sandcest is Love'. (...Uh, inspired by Naruto and a hefty amount of crack!fanfiction, eheh). Alternately, I'm also on 'Cheviraness' once in a while.
Feel free to pounce on me, I'm on a lot. ^-^
