rage, rage against the dying of the light.

so i was super mopey and angry about the end of summer and beginning of fall/winter/whatever.

like a little kid, i've been pounding my fists and saying, i'm not ready, i do not want this.

which has been surprising, seeing as how for the previous 25 years of my life i have hated summer and loved winter. go.figure. 

and now. like just within the past couple of days. the giddiness has hit me. leaves on the ground! scarves and mittens and boots! baking! christmas gifts! tights! decorations and lights all around the city! i don't know what's come over me! i just can't stop using exclamation points!

sure, it's dark at 4:30. but that's okay. i'll just bake myself some banana bread. drink hot tea. and curl up with a quilt and a dickens novel.
