Today I arrived at work five hours early so I decided to spend some leisurely hours at Barnes&Noble; the gateway to information. It was another half hour away and even though the gas prices keep on arising I made the journey.
And then I lazed in the chairs gazing over books and magazines whilst listening to my ipod.
And I watched people saunter to and from shelves with one book and maybe two...
And I glared at the woman who didn't hire me (that was my favorite thing...)
And then I bought 2 books simply because of the fact that I couldn't help myself.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy & The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.
And even though I still had two hours to spare before my real shift began, I was happy, because I got to spend my afternoon in a complete dream world.
Alas, life is good

Who I Am
- Crystal DC
- Imagine a little fuzzy headed girl standing in a pair of shiny black shoes. Her socks have lace around the edges, the kind that happens to match the fringes of her polka dotted dress. Her eyes close and tighten into squints that bring her lips into a grin. Her head tips back while her arms reach out and levitate at right angles from her torso. She begins to twirl. Her feet dance the circle round and round again on the pavement. The wind picks up under her dress. She can feel the fabric rising from around her shins and calves. She loves it. She believes herself to be flying. That little girl is me! I love life! And I live it the only way I know how, with my eyes closed and my arms out in faith.
