A combination of all parts of my life

I was on Rochester’s softball team but Rochester itself was in the woods of Pennsylvania. My mom had a fish tank the size of my current bedroom in the house she lived in and I went to visit her. It wasn’t built to be a fish tank, it was actually an indoor fresh water pond, but it never had any fish it in until I went home from school – about a 20 minute drive – to see her. In one of the walls that made up the pond/tank, there was a large circular glass window (as they have at aquariums/zoos so you can see what’s in the water) that took up most of the wall and inside, I saw one lion fish and I instantly recognized it as Alexander. I was in shock, since I thought he was dead, and I said as much to my mom. She said, “No, no, I was able to save him from the tank by putting him in this big ol’ fresh water pond.” I asked her if there were any other fish in the pond and she told me that there weren’t.

I had to get back to school and when I got back, I ran into B.Ham, who apparently was my teammate, just as I was getting out of my car. We chatted for a bit in the parking lot before she had to get to class; she told me she’d see me later at practice. I grabbed my backpack out of the back seat and turned towards my dorm, then I saw Jane Lynch in a red shirt, holding an award, about 50 feet away. I called out to her that I hadn’t watched the Emmys because I was busy so I DVR’d it, but I planned to watch it that night. I also told her that I heard she won big for her role on Glee and congratulated her. She waved and yelled back, “Thanks so much!”

Fla.-J and I were talking on Skype about going to a party and drinking a lot, when he sighed heavily. I asked him what was wrong, and he said, “I kind of want to just stay in and hold you.” I smiled and said that I’d be up for whatever he wanted to do, but I did feel bad about not going to the party because Dave Matthews Band was playing at it – it was an outdoor concert at an outdoor party, kind of like in Dazed and Confused – and it was a friend’s birthday. Fla.-J said, “Okay, how about a compromise – we go to the party for a little bit, but we don’t drink, and we stay together and I’ll just hold your hand?” I smile at him as he continued, “I love you and just want to be with you, I don’t care about being around anyone else, but if you really want to go, let’s go make our appearance.” We agreed to meet outside of my apartment in 30 minutes.
