Summer Fantasy
In my fantasy, I see a girl in an ankle-grazing maxi dress made of gauzy, black material and belted at the waist with a silver sash. Metallic sandals adorn her feet and a large green cocktail ring decorates her left hand as she walks the street with a tote bag and oversized sunglasses.
She has made decisions about her summer. She won't be wearing pants until the leaves start to fall from the trees, for the weather gives her no use for them. She is going to eat as much fresh fruit as possible, along with fresh salads and delicious bread. The cocktail that she has chosen to represent the season is a mixture of lemonade and sweet tea vodka, and she intends to eat breakfast outdoors at least one morning each week, nursing the same cup of coffee for hours.
She wishes that she could be a true hedonist, with each of her actions carefully calculated to bring her the maximum amount of pleasure, but she knows that isn't possible. Instead, she is going to follow as many of those hedonistic impulses as she can without turning heads or negatively effecting her life. She's on the lookout for someone who is willing to search for fun with her, but she knows that she doesn't need someone for that.
She will be perfectly content on her own, eating her fruit and hiding behind her sunglasses and sipping her cocktails and reading anything that piques her interest.

In my fantasy, there is a girl who chooses shorts, tank tops, and flip flops. Her summer will be spent making choices on a whim, letting things slide, and smiling as much as possible. Her drink of choice will be an unfiltered beer, and she'll spend time sitting on patios, sipping, and people-watching through her very own sunglasses. She'll eat whatever she feels like, and if it gets too much, will go run or take a walk with a friend to counteract the calories. Her plans will keep her busy nearly every weekend until Labor Day, leaving no time for being sad. She'll wander around new stores, just to see what there is out there, try new restaurants, and make phone calls to her loved ones who live far away.
For some reason, I think your girl and my girl would get along.
I kind of think they already do. ;)
