has anyone seen my beautiful friend Fall around lately? I fear she's gone missing.

What happened to fall?

shouldn't we be traipsing around with scarves, or at least layers and long sleeves right about now? A bed of fallen dry leaves crunching below our footsteps, looking up their youthful friends still hanging on, shifting through hues of bold, saturated colors?

I feel completely not myself today. Something that seems to be a common theme amongst most of the people I've spoken with the last 24 hours.

I was up until sunrise with the king-sibling bash last night. . . It was good times all around.
My brother and sister seem to not be the biggest fans of mixed crowds of different "types" of friends. I, however, find excitement and beauty in sharing a few drinks and laughs with people you don't necessarily know, but think you do from what the rumors and behaviors of the grade school days. I know I've changed a HELL of a lot since my HS days, and I'd be bummed to know that someone assumed they know who I am NOW from what they "knew" of me through 'so-and-so' back in the 10th grade.

It's 2:33am. Again, I could have forced myself to sleep at 10:00 tonight and yet, here I am awake.
