the rain is just what i need right now

completely, utterly free of sarcasm and cynicism. i handed in my last assignment of high school, and tomorrow will write two out of my last three exams. both are as open-book as grade 12 university-stream courses can be. glorious.

tomorrow night i have a date with the love of my life. i shall also pick up my grad present - a digital camera, plus stuff for the SLR i appropriated from my father. saturday is chick night with the gals; romantic comedies, empty-calorie foods, and some good-ol-fashioned galtalk before we get down and dirty working all summer. sunday i will alternate between studying for my nutrition exam and packing up the remainder of my life here at home.

home.

i call so many places my home. here in ajax, my parents many short-term residences in the county and the long-term residence theyre building, my brothers place in toronto, my other brothers place in ottawa..whichever house or apartment he happens to be currently living in. home is where my family is. home is where the boy is. no wonder i confuse people when i say that im going home.

the cats are restless lately. they want to play, distract me from my worries. they have been my roommates for the past eight months. home is where they are too. miaow.

so, time for some studying. groan.
