Rationalities, Reasons, Excuses

Nov 21, 2006 01:17

So, I was going to write about some other bullshit, but I've decided today after turning in some college applications, I realized I don't want to leave the state. Or Chicago for that matter. Someone asked me why, and while I thought I had the answer, I didn't. So I began to think more about this. Here's a brief, abbreviated list:

1) For one, here is where my roots are. I'm so comfortable here. COLD AS FUCK, but I'm a husky ass anyway. Some of my bestest friends haven't left yet.
2) I've never seen the whole city. And there's so much to see, trust me. I thought I saw it all, but coming home from the Illinois Institute of Technology, I realized there were so many places I haven't loitered around.
3) I have yet to do all of the LetterBoxing things in the city.
4) So many weirdos I haven't seen. I've met the weirdo on Western between Lawrence and Lincoln that sits on the fire-hydrant and is engulfed in pigeons, as well as Jean Le who dances for hours in Wicker Park when I do my laundry there. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
5) I'll save money. God knows I don't have much of that
6) I can take the train or bus anywhere.
7) I just built a room in the shop.
8) My brother needs someone to pick him up when he gets drunk later on in his high school life.
9) Just got my bedroom just the way I want it.
10) Now that I'm 18, I can go to all of those concerts I want to within walking distance.
11) I'm lazy and I love this city.
12) Haven't been to a Bears game.
13) Still want to go to see a play or two.
14) The further you go, the more places I'll have to visit.

hm, random
