did you hear me holler at you to come save me, i'm in danger.

you wanna know what really made my day...

no, it wasnt the getting up at 3:45 this morning to travel to and from florence in order to take a test that i actually spaced out on and probably failed. it wasnt the really cool lunch in thomson, complete with coffee and triple berry crunch cereal that i didnt really like but ate anyways. it wasnt even trying to keep myself awake and alert while hanging my head over an organic book all afternoon like i was soaking it all in and like i actually know what "isobutyl" means. or the fireworks i now hear going off outside my window in the middle of september.

ok, so i guess all of those things really made for a just ok and yawn-filled day.

but what really made it good was the leaves.
as i walked back from dacus i noticed them. the yellow and brown crispy leaves that crunch when you step on them. oh those leaves. how they warm and spread joy throughout my heart. because their existence means only one thing...fall is upon us people. ok, so i'm still in t-shirts and sweating as i walk briskly from class to class, but nevertheless fall (the best season of all the seasons in the land!) is just around the corner. and with this glorious time comes beautiful trees and sunsets. the best holiday of all - thanksgiving (yeah gobble gobble!) and an overall clean and fresh feeling. a feeling that hits you in the face like the wind when you step outside in the morning. wonderful fresh air that fills your lungs and makes you realize that autumn is your reason for waking up in the morning, your reason for carrying out the day.

and thats why i love fall.
plus my birthday is in two weeks.

i think i just briefly fell asleep here at my desk while typing.
thats the cue for bed time. goodnight kids.

do you have anymore by the innocence mission? when i first heard the girls voice it sounded so familiar. they're actually on my empire records soundtrack - the song bright as yellow. anyways, i'd like to hear more stuff if you have it.
by the way, have you ever seen empire records before? man, its good!
