autumnal blues
i was walking to work this morning feeling pretty decent, groovin' along to the tunes of natalie merchant playing on my headphones. and then suddenly everything changed. it was though i stepped into a giant fog of melancholy. a wave of sorrow just washed over me. i stopped for a couple minutes and looked around to see exactly what it was that made me so sad. but all there was was a layer of dead leaves on the ground in front of a fire hydrant. why would this make me so sad? and it stayed with me. i'm still sad, and for no reason.
i think it might be a general feeling of autumn. while it is, by far, my favorite season, it always carries a bit of depression for me. maybe it is just because i get homesick, but that's not really what i felt this morning. i guess there isn't really an explanation. unless we keep in the spirit of halloween and attribute the fog of unhappiness to me stepping through a ghost. come to think of it, that spot was a bit colder. hmmmm....

fall always makes me wish i was back at school with you guys :( but it is also so gorgeous outside! the wind has blown all the clouds out of the sky, and you can see for miles from up on the parkway! the color orange is everywhere--how can you be sad? :) it must have been the ghost.
