(no subject)
the sounds of my life right now:
train whistles and ambulance sirens in the dark, police scanners telling me about more terrible things than i want to know, my own voice echoing on empty walls and hardwood floors, and "mellon collie and the infinite sadness"
i am already falling for danville, though. i am a sucker for beautiful churches and bridges, and cozy coffee shops, and bike lanes. and helpful people. the staff of the paper have all been so kind and helpful. once i start making money from this job, i will fill my apartment with more personal effects, and will fill my evenings with dinner guests and exploring the hidden gems in this city of so-called faded glory. i think it's already overcoming the fading, and taking on a new sheen. industries from all over the world are coming here, filling the abandoned tobacco warehouses with unimagined new purposes.
and my job is a blank slate for me to do as much as i want, which i am finding is a lot. i want to do so much more than i can now, i want to be a consumate journalist, beyond photography but certainly much more richly in that.
i'm enjoying myself, even though right now it's just my little flock of boxes and i.
