Right now

It is 9:26 pm. I am sitting on my front lawn trying to bat away the bugs that are attracted to the light of my phone that I am using to type this. The sky is a deepening purple and i can not decide if the speck of light I am peering up at is a star or a planet. Oh wait, nope, it's an airplane. It's so strange how human beings got the idea to use hulking metal machines to give them the ability to fly, but what's even crazier is the fact that it works.

The streetlights give off an orange glow that I find annoying but also rather beautiful at the same time. I like how warm the street looks under their cast, and the way it contrasts the cool colors of the sky. It looks like something that Van Gogh might have taken an interest in painting. However, i wish I could sit in complete natural darkness. Even when I close my eyes I can see it's artificial glow from behind my eyelids. I also wish my neighbors didn't play their t.v. so loud, and that there wasn't so much traffic going but, and that I was a famous writer traveling the world without the worries of school and money and jobs. I think that a lot of people wish for this.

It's now 9:45 and the bugs are becoming unbearable, so I will need to say good night, although I doubt anyone will read this far.
