monday may 4

today i sat out on our second floor patio for the first time this summer. after making comments about various passers-by, my roommate and i wondered aloud how quietly we'd need to talk in order to ensure we weren't heard from the street. when a friend came biking up to our front step a half-hour later, i tested out the volume level, and was a little discouraged when she replied enthusiastically to a "hey" that i thought would be too quiet.
