it's an awful chicago day, when it can't decide whether to rain or snow so instead it's like the sky is literally falling down with everything it's got.
things in my flat are very still though, thanks to heaters and a humidifier. i've got stuff to do today, lots really, but what i wish i could do is sit and write down some wonderful memories that i hadn't remembered in a while, but decided to fall down with the sky. so here are some.
i remember being in chile and after a drunken night eating what i swear was dog food but a friend assured me wasn't.
i remember sitting on another friend's verandah in paris. the flat was not all too different from the hole that the guy in "ratatouille" lived in... not much of anything except a view. looking into other peoples' windows, looking at the sky, looking at the lights, and deciding with a thirteenth cigarette that the place was where i wanted to spend the rest of my life.
and i remember dancing with my best friend, and how happy that made me, because i was much younger and absolutely in love with him then, and because that was the only chance i had - twice a week dance classes - that he would hold me.
basically, things that i haven't thought about in a really long time but make me appreciate having had a good life so far, even if right now things feel quite bleak.
