The forest behind Megan's neighborhood is like a childhood fantasy, full of trees and ferns and streams and boulders and dirt paths and deer and fireflies. The fact that it was also full of rapidly descending water droplets while we were exploring it yesterday evening bothered us hardly at all. Afterward we dried off, played Smash Bros., and watched Where Eagles Dare, which featured Clint Eastwood dual-wielding MP40s and gunning down Nazis (hell yes), and also a surprisingly good plot. And then, of course, we talked for hours. Somewhere around three-thirty in the morning, as I began to feel the jaws of sleep snapping close behind, I put on my still soggy shoes and drove back on the nearly deserted Beltline.
Maybe it's okay not to know what I want.
