Summer Lovin' Oh-Nine

So it is, just like they always said it would be. life goes easy on me, most of the time.

-"Blower's Daughter"

Well the weather is looking nice for smooth sailing and summer lovin' for the folks of Self Storage.

We're young.

We're bored.

We're waiting in the wings cuz we're stranded till fall semester.

On the latest gossip, last night, LM went on a date, her first since high school as a matter of fact. As soon as I woke up from my nap around 7 pm, slightly irritable cuz I had a nap-headache, LM's head popped over the side of the bunk:

"Hi."

"Hey. How was work?"

"Good, look at this. I don't know how to respond." She hands me down her cell phone which has a message from Spencer, the cutie from Azusa that I saw her talking to when I picked her up from orientation. It said something like "you wanna hang out tonight?"

If I didn't have a headache, I'd probably have flipped out. We had just been talking about getting summer time boys the night before. I tease her all the time about potentially having a love affair with the Director, but hey, that never looked terribly promising anyway. According to Lady Producer, it'd be good for him, but he's... afraid of girls or something. So she went out with this guy and came back like "idunnowhattodowiththiiiiiiiiis" so my dad and I kinda tag-teamed it so she could at least attempt to sleep decently.

While LM was out, I got an update from Mr. Script Soup. He has moved his relationship with his cribbage boo to the next level: pen pals. It makes sense to try to woo someone with what everyone is telling you is your talent: writing. Hell, he just got a college degree in writing. This should be a smash success. 

She wrote back to his first letter, most satisfactory. He texted me with a "what should I do now". I don't know chief, you're the man, you'll think of something. You could tell her or you could wait to see if she'll continue to write back, either way, it's a good sign she responded in my opinion. It means good things. Very good things. You go Glen Coco. I'll try to scope out the other side of the letter-writing sometime soon.

As for Lady Producer and the Gaffer, well, the jury is still out and she's going home to Seattle soon. But, he's going home to Portland and if he's any bit serious even about being friends, he'll drive up to visit her. Hint-hint Gaffer!

And for me, well, I've got some things waiting in the wings. And as the famous saying of mine goes: We'll see what happens. But for now, Summer Lovin '09 is looking positive. This is quite possibly my favorite part of June.
