Bowling and a Jaunt

Yesterday, there was a wonderfully impromptu reunion of people from Beauty and the Beast, which included such amazing people as Liz, Rob, Peter, Joe S, Brian, Danielle, and Matt, as well as Lindsay and myself. We went to the bowling alley late at night and pretty much just hung out, and I really really miss those people. I miss that atmosphere, and that amazing feeling like we're all supposed to be like that forever. It all just comes down to what I've always said: that musical season is the best part of the year, and the people we grow to feel comfortable with will always retain that aura of...something. Something special. It was just a lovely evening. I suck at bowling.

Today was fun, too, a little long in parts, but enjoyable nontheless. Lindsay, Leslie, Kristen Winklemann and I drove to Kirksville to see Truman and to wander around to get the feel of the place, because all three of them are going there for college. They turned in a bunch of forms, and we ate pizza for lunch and sang songs in the car (and played word games...Leslie and I are kind of still playing, because neither of us is willing to admit defeat). And we talked...so much...about the stuff that matters to us and the people that matter to us and how we feel about pretty much everything. It was really hot outside, though mercifully not as humid as it usually gets around here. We were spared that, thank the Lord.

And tonight? Laziness, most definitely. Lindsay, Leslie, Joe S and I, watching Grey's Anatomy while Lindsay and I tried to explain the plotline to the other two. A short visit. But both Lindsay and I leave for our respective vacations to Colorado and Bird Lake (real name, I swear) in just a few days, so we'll take as much as we can get.
