Wow. well this has been quite the week. Now I'm finally realizing the little things about Saratoga that make me love it. The things I miss regardless of what drama or whatnot is happening in my life.
1. Listening to Dave and cruising at 1 AM on a hot summer night with friends is something that just doesn't happen in Boston. And I love it. Last night I was just thinking, huh, I really do miss this, and there's nothing like it in btown. Riding the T @ 12:30 AM before it closes as you listen to your iPod simply does not compare.
2. Food places that stay open 24hrs. AKA denny's!!!!!!! Dirty and ghetto fab complete w/ sketchy randoms, yes, but awesome for that 2 AM meeting with like 6 random people, some friends, some aquaintances, and amazing peanut butter pie. Yeah. there's no Denny's in Boston. Someone should do something about that.
3. Uncommon Grounds. Writing poetry in Starbucks is NOT the same thing, completely different atmosphere, you almost always run into someone you know, and I think that UC is one of the best/chillest coffee shops I've been to. Ever. Boston, you have so much to live up to. I forget sometimes...
Three things I've realized over the past 2 days that are SO worth coming home. Even if my visits are few and far between from now on, don't hate, appreciate!! AGHHHHHHHH I can't believe I just wrote that...but come on, there's some truth in it...hm.
In other news, I am now a construction chick- kind of. My hands are so banged up, it's 'ruhl' gross ("real" in a Kansas accent, thanks Sarah, I'm turning into you.) but I feel pretty tough. And then there's the part about me getting tan and being in the sun all day which is much fun. Blisters on my hands aren't. But not being super white is. Injuries...tan...hm. I guess they balance each other out.
EEEE my hair is straightened today because I got a trim and it's soooo long. I don't even look like me. Hot. But not like me. Weird.
Best random comment of the day:"On a train to Montauk in LI and I thought of you..." Text messages rock. Am I your only Clem?? There's got to be SOMEONE else...maybe not.
Time w/ the extended fam this weekend I hope...aaaand SAILING!!!!!!!! can't wait.
Happy Friday everyone!
