The Silent Tower

Happy Shinee-Sky Day! ^_^!

Actually saw a really good display this year – haven’t seen one in at least one if not two years.  I know I didn’t see one last year.  B and I went to the JR fireworks display which is held over the Springfield Underground.  Apparently there is a vast network set up under the city, and Kraft uses a lot of it to age their cheese

I’ve started to realize, odd as it may sound, that I’m finding some rather strange similarities to this city and one of the ones I have a story set in.  Not exactly the same by any means – but, I’m beginning to understand a city enough that I’m seeing and knowing how the bits fit together and make a whole.

I’ve been wanting to get to know the city better – if for no other reason than so I know where to take a guy on a date   Sounds like a good enough reason as any.  That, and I just want to start being more a part of the world around me.  Yeah, yeah – saying and doing are two different things .. but these are things I wasn’t even thinking a year ago.  I still like to hibernate for a day and just play games – or read, which is something else I want to pick up a bit more again – but I also want to be more active outside the house.  I’m slowly beginning to understand what it means to live – to actually do more than simply exist – and though I am taking baby-baby steps forward, I *am* moving forward.

I’m doing more things with people, reaching out more to people, letting more people have a better idea of just who I am.  W keeps trying to get me to come to parties and such – I hope he doesn’t stop doing so, because I know there will be a point when I just up and go – I’m just not quite there yet ^^;

Out of the day, the only thing that really bothers me is .. the sky-fire display was beautiful, but the atmosphere of the event just made me sad.  Or perhaps uneasy would be a better way of saying it.  I was happy that people where enjoying themselves, but there was just that ever-present like .. toe-tap maybe, that resided in the background.  I pushed back a bit, and was able to enjoy the show without it weighing on me quite as much.

Yeah — so good day ^_^ Hope all the rest of you enjoyed your Shinee-Sky Day!
