s.f. is very good

the modest mouse show was really fun. no one rocked out as hard as the 7 of us did.
went for a walk today with aaron's friend megan who's now my new friend, she's visiting from michigan, but thinking of moving out here. last night we all encouraged her and steve also to move here. it will be a memorable summer.

today walking along the north beach reminded me of this pome by edna st. vincent milley that jenny sent me:

Paris April 1, 1922

a mile of clean sand
I will write my name here, and the trouble that is in my heart.
I will write the date and place of my birth,
What I was to be,
And who I am.
I will write my forty sins, my thousand follies,
My four unspeakable acts.....
I will write the names of the cities I have fled from,
The names of the men and women I have wronged.
I will write the holy name of her I serve,
And how I serve her ill.
And I will sit on the beach and let the tide come in.
I will watch with peace the great calm tounge of the tide
Licking from the sand the unclean story of my heart.

Edna St. Vincent Millay

i'm excited to live near the sea again.
