Wearing Devon's button-up plaid blue shirt so old and worn the elbows have given out and the fabric has gone wispy thin—hair in a bun gone loose and messy from lying in bed, stray hairs at my crown, over my ears—reading the last fifteen pages of the book and listening to the breathy hum of the air conditioner overhead.
I've been doing good, lately. Lately, and today, right now. I'm quiet and calm but still alert, consuming and not creating (given an exception or two), and contentedly thus. I have things to say, things I will say, soon. But not right now. Right now, just a quiet room and calm mind, just the last page of a book.
And then I'll probably go play some more Persona. Yesterday Dev and I watched a movie (Kick-Ass) with one of his friends and I was bubbly the whole time, engaged and what you could almost call talkative—talking most about the wonder that is Persona 4. I have reached the CANNOT EAT CANNOT SLEEP MUST PLAY PERSONA stage, and it is glorious. I'm deep enough in the game now that everything feels so real—the story, the characters, the relationships have all made that careful crossover from intriguing to authentic. I love them now not just for capturing my imagination—but just because I love them, simple, straight out. I'm blogging all this on Tumblr, sometimes even in long and thoughtful posts even, so there's no need for me to recap it here. But ah: that game, that beautiful game. These days, it's just about all there is which can break my silence.
