Who I'd like to meet: Kind Strangers. Someone who won't leave me unconscious in a ditch. My great great aunts in Bay Ridge. My grandfather. The apocalypse. Me in ten years. Me when I was ten. The Bluest Sea. Italy (again). Greece (always). People with faith and who are real. The World.
hey- yeah, we'll always meet up again, i love ya, girl! Things are suuuuper up in the air here but so it goes. were 24 and life seems just to happen. i suppose it is all for a reason, or it helps to see it that way anyway. talk soon. good luck!
haha. yeah, i guess i am. i'm psyched actually. trying to find my own little space/world in astoria. i'm unattached and loving it actually, minus the intermittent melancholy. how are you? come home and hang out in queens! i'll be home mid-august. gonna miss portland but ready to have some roots back.
You need to change your song. I know I haven't been on this for some time, but I'm sad it's still Emily whats her name. I know I need to change mines as well, but whatever. this is depressing.
Happy happenings to the birthday girl. You have the best comment string going right now. So here's another from my fab fav blog-o, Freakonomics: http://economics.uchicago.edu/pdf/Prostitution%205.pdf Cops more likely to solicit prostitutes than to arrest one. That's what we all needed to hear.
