*sighs* ^_^

Beautiful trip to visit Aurey, this weekend. I couldn't sleep on the train Friday morning, so I read H.P. Lovecraft and watched the scenery. The clouds were beautiful. They looked like islands. Saw some rabbits and a blue heron. The train got to the station early, so I sat for a while and read more. (It's interesting, how the story for Re-Animator really goes.) Once Aurey's train got there and we got back to LaGrange, we stopped for a delicious Thai lunch at Yao's, then had a look at one of the shops on the way back to his house to search for witchy-looking hats. After a quick grocery run got back and watched some of the first season of Beauty and the Beast (you get bonus points if you remember the show). After, we dressed up and went to the local Borders for the release party for Deathly Hollows. Aurey put on a suit and his black velvet cloak, and I wore a black dress, purple stipey tights, purple velvet fingerless gloves, a sleeveless green velvet robey-thing and an irridescent purple/teal shawl with silver stars and moons on it (funnily enough, it didn't clash). We were one of the most stylishly-dressed couples there. The line was horribly long, but we were a part of the second group to get in, because Aurey had reserved his copy some time ago. When we got home, it was about 2 in the morning.

Next day we went to see Order of the Phoenix together (dressed up for that too, just for the fun of it) and then went out to eat. Once we got back, we watched Dr. Who (which I've been putting off getting into, since I knew--I knew that I'd be obliged to get every single season, then put in Hannibal Rising. Next day, we just hung out around the house, Aurey fixed one of his Amazing Omelettes for breakfast, watched more Dr. Who, and then the Chronicles of Riddik over dinner. Around 1 in the morning, we took an intimate late-night walk together.

Monday we made a few purchases on Amazon.com (A copy of The Last Unicorn for me, since I haven't read it yet, the Julie Taymore version of Titus and the first season of Carnival for the both of us, and Dead Man with Jonny Depp as a very late Father's Day present for my Dad.) Then we watched Orlando over lunch (Gyros ordered in from Dino's). As usual when I got on the train to come back here my first impulse was to break one of the windows, escape and run back to him.

Next month can't come quickly enough... Having enough saved up to move up there cannot come quickly enough!
