Please, God, take me away from this house.
The people who live in it are silent when they should speak and speak when they should be silent.
They mistake good intentions for ulterior motives, thinking you're keeping score.
They say things like "I think we raised them wrong" in the hearing of their children, and then when their children overhear and try to explain why that makes them feel bad, they are ignored.
Take me away from this house of twisted words and lives twined too tightly for too long around responsibility formed from guilt rather than love.

Part of my safety net, the Losiewices, are moving to London in October. Zara visited them with me once and agreed how cool they are. They're like Sunday at the Chinese resturant--fractious sometimes, delighting in small things, not always entirely organized, but that's okay. Because you love all of them.
London.
At least it gives me an excuse to visit Europe.
My sister is going to Germany. I think she's going to stay there, or at least keep stronger connections there than here.
My parents are apparently getting, in return, a foriegn exchange student here. It's going to be interesting, to come home to a new person. Maybe it will change us for the better.
**
Look at me, my depth perception must be off again.

Just started playing on the radio. Wonder if that thing's clairvoyant sometimes.

I wonder if I love them. I can't tell.
