moonshining

"There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery."

Joseph Conrad

it's the first day of september.. and my brain is once more full of moonshine. well, i know this happens to me a lot.. but moreso during this month. hahaha. i'll be turning a year older again in a couple of weeks. great. maybe that's why i'm so full of nonsense once more :p

anyway. i don't know who coined the term 'moonshine.' it just seems so.. not right. i like the moon. it's one of my favorite celestial bodies (yeah, right.. as if there are so many of them to choose from). and i totally agree with the quote above. Luna is full of mystery. she's ethereal and corporal at the same time. she looks so calm and serene.. yet a lot of people associate her with insanity (hence the term 'lunacy' - which, i think, is so unfair). everyone on earth has seen or heard of her.. yet so very few have actually touched her. the moon is a mass of contradictions. and that's why i love her.. :)

sheesh. barely half the day is over and already my thoughts are about nighttime. hahaha. i really am a night person. and all this bright sunny weather we've been having these past few days isn't helping me any (in fact, it's making me sick - literally). i wish it would rain really hard today. *sigh* this would be a good time for my rain wish to come true. it is, after all, september already..
