I've been feeling a certain type of Denver love these last few weeks that I think only comes with living in a place long enough to develop a sense of self that includes that community.
I was explaining to Joe that up until now, everything in Denver has seemed transient, and if I left, I would only minimally miss things here. Sort of a "yeah, i lived there for a little while," mentality. But now, I think of myself here.
Overall, it's very good.
I also realized today that a year ago I was preparing myself to go to Alaska and have my heart anihilated. A year can really do a lot.
Here are some recent highlights:
*Colorado lisence plates and driver's lisence
*I'm under contract to buy a condo
*I attended a creative writing retreat in Big Sur
*I learned how to ride, and bought, a motorcycle.
I'm sorry for this list-making. It's a tendency of mine.
I also want to say that there are about 4 different neighborhoods of Denver that are hipster fashion show runways. It's cute to me. They've also all decided that someday they might want to live in Portland -- which makes me super cool to them. Geeze.
