Once there was a way to get back home
April 11, 2004 @ 5:18 p.m.

I saw Hellboy, which despite appearances, is a sweet, funny geek movie lover's dream. That is the big highlight of this easter weekend, besides a Friday night trip to San Jose to hit the record stores. Rasputin, Streetlight, and Tower all on one street - what more do you have to ask for?

Since I sure ain't getting the obvious, I finally made that little purchase I'd been planning on making back in RC. Independence is a wonderful thing.

I hate feeling trapped. That's the way I felt in RC in those last years of high school - that all I had to do was escape and I'd finally be happy. Well, that feeling is starting to return, which is ironic considering I finally have a car, and a job and an apartment are looming on the horizon. But now I keep finding myself with a lingering desire to leave Santa Cruz, at least for a moment.

Or maybe it's not Santa Cruz I want to escape, but something else. Or rather, someone else. No matter how many others come and go, it all keeps coming back to him. It would really be better if he did leave for the summer, but all I can think about is how I could make him stay. Ridiculous, isn't it? As if I could give him any reason to stay.

Happy Easter kids. Whatever meaning it holds for you, I hope it's a good one.
