A couple hours ago, I ate The Strangest Fruit I've Had In A Very Very Long Time.

It was a peach. Well, that's what they said, at least. We've had it for several days, but it hadn't ripened at all. It was still kind of hard. It SMELLED like a peach. It smelled very good.

Some parts of it even tasted like a peach.

I cut it into sections, and had to cut the pit out, as the flesh was still too firm to pull it out. The first bite tasted a bit like a peach, but really watered down.

The next bite tasted like perfume. Not a noxious perfume, it was actually quite pleasant, but...it actually reminded me of a body mist I used to have. Supposedly pear-flavored, but it didn't really smell like pears to me, but fruit blossoms.

The bite after that was watermelon. And after that?

Banana.

Yes, banana.

Then it repeated itself. I was reminded of that gum in Charlie and Chocolate Factory that tastes like an entire meal.

So yeah. Definitely a strange fruit. I wish it'd had a little prime rib in it or something.

OMFG.

Dawn??

Long time no see! (Assuming of course you're the Disco Dawn I know and not some other Disco Dawn, which I believe is unlikely, since you're the right age and in the right location...)

Damn. Welcome to my LJ.

And of course, that last comment was me, not logged in.

Not bad. Graduated from college with what seems to be a fairly useless degree (I say that because tomorrow I start work as a maid). I'm in Wisconsin now but will move back to Valdez next summer and do...something...maybe...I dunno.

How bout you?

You're married, too, eh? Holy carp. Seems like everyone's doing that these days. Mel Reiswig and Becky Weber both got married last summer (Mel to Steve Brewi and Becky to James Smith) and my roommate at the moment (whom I met first year of college) is getting married next summer. Soon it will just be me and Nina.

Yeah, Charley graduated. Weird. He's gonna go to college in Portland this fall. Wants to be a psychologist.

Nina's back in Valdez at the moment. She was nearly graduated, but then about two months before, her advisor informed her that he'd "forgotten" to tell her about a couple classes she needed to take before she could graduate, and one is a fall class and one a winter, so she would have to stay there ANOTHER year before she actually had a degree. I think she's gonna take time off then get the rest of her credits in Anchorage or something.
