Little Moments Like That

Some of you may not know me as the emotional type. Of course, that would probably be the random people who accidentally wandered onto this site and don't know me at all. The rest of you know I'm a sap. I probably cry when fruit flies die...heh...scratch that. Point being, I have recently had some rather emotional moments, and I thought I'd share them with you. Try not to cry.

1) I was sitting in my room, looking at my calendar on the wall. The monthly calendar. It was my funny kitty calendar, and proudly displayed the month of July. It suddenly ocurred to me that I will never get to use those last five months.

2) My kitty (and perhaps this should have been number one) doesn't understand that I'm leaving. I cry when I cuddle her. Tonight is my last night with her, and I'm in here blogging instead.

3) Saturday night, I walked away from my last work shift. I was dizzy. I wanted to pass out from either panic or euphoria (probably both). Then I saw puke on the ground. But that's neither here nor there. It's been cleaned up.

4) I had a going away party tonight. It took us forever to edge our way to the door. How can you end a goodbye party? You just can't say goodbye enough times.

5) For those of us who can read - and if you can't, why are you even here? I don't have pictures up yet - we understand chapters in a book. Ever noticed the chapters in your life? I closed a chapter when I finished school. I closed a chapter when I met a singer I had listened to all my childhood and discovered that they really exist. I closed a chapter when I finished three ancient Sega games I had been pining for around ten years. This, my friends, is a chapter, and though I am excited to leave, it's a frightening thing, closing those chapters. After all, starting a new chapter, rehooking your reader, it's the hardest part.

We leave in five hours, and I have no idea what comes after. But then, what is life if you can't step out of the box and let God take the wheel...if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor. And if you won't...well, go ahead. Just try and erase it. See what happens.
