the stale taste of recycled air





today was a beautiful day.
although my eyes were tired, and they still are, i didn't want to sleep the day away, i didn't want to waste the day.

i strapped on my fanny pack, slipped my earphones on and headed to sami's.
the walk there was nice, i didn't notice how beautiful and elaborately decorated the houses were on ardmore lane.

sami and i tried writing a song but that didn't work out, so we atched 27 dresses and drank cherry dr. pepper and ate salt and vinegar chips instead!
towards the climax of the movie, sami looked out the window and yelled ICE CREAM TRUCK! i slipped on her shoes and she slipped on her flats and we CHASED after the ice cream truck two streets away. we were laughing so hard during the chase. the ice cream man said "lo siento" (im sorry in spanish) cause i guess he saw us. he only stopped when other kids started running towards the truck as well. i got a power puff girl popsicle that almost resembled bubbles and sami got sonic.

we went back to her house, out of breath and finished 27 dresses. it was such a good movie, exactly what i needed. junk food and a chick flick with a bestie. the sun was setting- it was my cue to go home. i strapped on my fanny pack and slipped my earphones on once more and i was on my way home. the first song on shuffle was "recycled air" by the postal service. it was the perfect song.
the distant salmon sky looked so pretty; i followed it home. the streetlights were already on, so i picked up my pace and breathed in the fresh air.

it was a good saturday, minus my morning
