rain again

First rain of the season. More importantly, it signals the start of my favorite time of the year. Most of all it reminds me how quickly time passes. It was around this time last year that I actually met Alex in person and started actually talking to her properly. I don't remember anything significant happening to me from October until around November/Decemberish. First time I slept over at her house and started to get to know her family. Funny how the rain makes everything seem so much more cozy. Not quite sure what I'm trying to accomplish with this entry, other than mention the fact that this past year was probably the fastest year of my life so far. Unfortunately, I've heard from others that this year will fly by. I don't want that. I want to be able to savor every stupid thing my friends and I do and have every fun moment I have last forever. However, for some strange reason, I can never forget this one day in February where all I did was sleepover. Even though that day was about 8 months ago now, I can still remember the smallest details. The turquoise Explorer that drove by while we were playing is still as vivid in my memory as that day. In any case, that was the day Alex and I spent about 30 minutes playing catch outside her house. I'm sure if she were to look back on that day it would just be the day her and her boyfriend split. For me, I'll remember it as the day we played catch. I'll probably never understand why I hold those 30-40 minutes so close to me. We didn't talk about anything particularly interesting. I seem to remember it more as the first time I was able to just catch up and talk to her about normal things and what not. Maybe it was the fact that she made me feel as if someone in this world actually gave a damn about me. For her, it was probably just a way to take her mind off of what was to happen later that day. I don't know. I've never been upfront enough with her to ask her straight up and that event is long enough in he past that it's no longer important. Anyways, the arrival of the rain just had me thinking back on this past year. So much has happened, and at the same time, nothing has changed. It's strange. At least I have this rainy season to look forward to. Hopefully there will be more movie watching on the comfyass sofa and more driving around in the rain just because. Oh yeah. Since when did everyone have a freakin blog? hmmmmmmmm?
