- solstice -


Today is winter solstice.  That's so cool...  Maybe I will open my blinds to let the moonlight soak into my skin tonight... That will feel cold.  That is good...  I love joy.. It's so many things at once.  But tonight it will be purely ICY!
      I finally have caught up with my backlog of e-mails I got two particularly nice ones.  I will keep them private.  But I really enjoy having such grand friends through e-mail.
       It is sad, becase so many noteworthy things are happening but first I must explain my absence!  I have been deep in side of a metal forest called - C-H-I-C-A-G-O - It is an amazing place!  I left on the fifteenth and got back late late on saturday, no time for journal though because I had a HUGE test today... But I'm now fine.  Tomorrow is the last day of school for the year.  OH Gosh!  It will be 1999 soon!  I can't believe it I just can't!!  But on tho Chicago!
      I hopped into a car early morning on the 15th (maybe 16th) Who cares.  Had "Student of the Moth" breakfast.  Then we all puzzeled ourselves tight into Sharon's car and drove ourselves to the airport after a stop at her house. 
I checked several times to see that my oboe was really still safe inside it's case.  I still haven't named her, that is a tragedy, some e-mail suggestions would help.  Then, we had our own little conference room in the airport to chat and account for everyone.  This band of ours is so freakin good.  Sometimes I feel unworthy but then I realize I am good too.  After we got on the plane we taxied around for a while and then to liven things up we decided to take off.  Aparrently all our instruments are making the plane obeise.  So we came up in Salt lake and eventually came back town in Chicago.  After that Straight to rehersal.  Then we went for pizza and something and the department store we were gonnna go to was closed so we did something else.. I forgot.. Maybe nothing.  Then next day we performed and all these composers came up to us and thanked us for playing their pieces.  It was soooooo cool it was like being on tour.  Then we rode around on busses alot did shopping and went to museums and aquariums and planetariums.  One humans had two perserved cadivers cut into slices and on display.  Some obnoxious lady said really loud "Well he had a prostate."  I could handle that but I couldn't handle the perserved human fetuses. next
