Let's play a game

called How Many Ways Can "I and Love and You" Change to Fit the Seasons of My Life?

so far, three. more to come.

like when I actually live in Brooklyn :)

don't lose yourself/buh duh buh bum

Guess what? I'm on a Facebook hiatus! It feels really good. Partly because it makes me feel a bit anxious, and that dependence is exactly what I want to get rid of. I also don't need to tell people so much about myself in this season of my life. I don't like people having more access to me than they offer to themselves.

And, in hindsight, a word to the wise: do yourself a favor and set aside some of your favorite music in a category exempt from dedication. I wish more of my favorite songs could maintain their favoriteness, but I already shot that hope in the foot. Oh well.

RE: "Sure, we can grow used to being alone. But we're not supposed to." Not supposed to, no--but when prompted, beginning the process is pretty refreshing. And if you begin to lose yourself, God knows where you are. AND, as a special little parallel, if you give Him access to your information, He'll give you access to His. Isn't that spectacular?

Cheers!

P.S. Guess what else is spectacular? http://stephenbaker.wordpress.com/'s author (Stephen Baker...) is coming to visit me! With his esteemed friend/partner in crime/brother Peyton! See, December is a great month for more reasons than Christmas. :]

Happy Halloween, Weenies

Sister, me, and brother, Halloween 1997

three words that became easy to say

Window Seat

I have never been quite this aware of humanity's supernatural desire for connection and companionship. Even the way I'm telling you this is evidence of it. Yaaay irony!

Sure, we can grow used to being alone. But we're not supposed to.

I sleep above 33rd and Broadway, napping while commuters trade their walking flats for working heels and tourists buy tickets to the top of The World's Most Famous Office Building.

[can you believe it actually says that in the lobby?]

No worries, mate

[I feel like this sometimes. But that's okay. I don't think people should avoid sadness so much.]

Happy October 15th, bug.
