remember this
Another instance of Things Worth Doing: getting over my body's complaints, getting over the rain, getting a shower, getting dressed, going to Izaak's goodbye party, seeing everybody I love, dancing and drinking and singing along, being a good fan, being a good friend, feeling utterly comfortable and loved, feeling grateful beyond words, feeling ready for everything. If everything that I love here has to disintegrate in the end, it was so beautiful to have everybody gather together before they scatter, it was so beautiful to have my whole cumulative life here gathered around, close and happy. If I accomplish nothing else in this town, I built this life and I'm so proud of it.
