why did summer go so quickly; was it someting that I said

[theladyrose]

Like the eponymous character of Marcel Ayme's short story, "Les Sabines," I would like nothing more than to be able to duplicate myself at a moment's notice and have my identical sisters, sharing one consciousness, live out all of the scenarios and play all their respective personas. No one's ever just one person-there are so many facets of a personality yet never enough time to really polish and display every side at once. Put much more simply, there are too many things I want to do, but I just don't have the energy to play out all these parts.

Sometimes I really don't quite know why I made the choices that I have (*cough* college */cough*) And that's OK, I guess. My problem is that I tend to come up with too many supporting and detracting points for each side that the arithmetic of persuasion cancels out to nothing; it is lucky or mysteriously convenient, then, that I've gotten really good at rationalizing my actions and judgements. I'm neither terribly happy or unhappy about my decision; I figure once I get to campus I'll find some quirky subculture or three in which to entrench myself.

I only get this pretentiously cryptic when I'm really sleep deprived, as I am right now.

I've come to the conclusion that I don't really have enough hot weather clothes as I donated a lot of my old T-shirts and such a few weeks ago as they're too small now. How hot is it usually in LA in the fall?

It's pleasantly warm, and not at all humid. You will never be able to go back.

I must confess I've been surprised by how cool it is in the mornings and in the evening. It really is quite pleasant, although I think Northern California still wins out by a bit.

Well, that is how we experience "cold" here. I actually like this phenomenon, as it provides some meteorological variety that might otherwise be lacking.

Enjoy your first week of classes! And say hi to the old Alma Mater for me.

Thanks! I'll be happy to do so :)

When you get settled in, give me a call. We've got some catching up to do.

I had a really great time talking with you today; I'm so sorry that my phone ran out of batteries! That teaches me to actually remember to charge it from now on.

but you have all those wonderful disney t-shirts. I looked through your Disney pictures on your facebook. You've made me want to go again!(even if I went a couple months ago...haha)

Ack, I accidentally left my T-shirt at home (the Ariel one is actually Sophia's; we traded shirts for a day :D)

You could always go to Disneyland during a break and sleep over in my dorm room; we can get student discount tickets!

andrea, it is *always* hot in LA, regardless of season. i cannot count the number of times i have worn shorts and tank top on christmas when i hate wearing shorts.

[thehashmark.livejournal.com]

true that.
We spent christmas with my aunt and uncle there last(this) year, who live in La. We brought coats and all kinds of winter clothes, in the end we ended up wearing our t-shirts and shorts. The only things that reminded us it was december was the christmas tree in the living room.

It sounds like I better come home for Christmas, then! :D

Oy, I have a feeling that I didn't bring enough T-shirts now...although I find myself needing a jacket a lot in the morning.
