morrigirlI wanna go home *pout*
Everyone else has gone home for spring break and I have to stay here because I'm poor and can't afford train fare. I'm physically and mentally exhausted, you dont know what I'd do to be in a familiar place right about now. I want my bed and my family and my living room and my morning talk shows and my late night crime dramas. I want to take my nightly walk down West End Avenue, I always find that soothing. I want to hang out with Elisabeth. I want to loaf around the Barnes and Noble on 82nd St. for a few hours.
I want to be back in the city where I can think clearly. Here everything is so muddled. My life always looks...different when I'm home. I can see it with an unbiased eye. I can see it outside of my own personal vacuum. In the city I connect. Out here I am an island.
I think the best line I've ever heard about city life comes from the Dar Williams song Mortal City...
"People built the cities because they love other people."
I think that's a very true statement. I love people. I think thats why I love my hometown so much.
In any case, I went over to Heather's tonight. Julie, Steffi, and Ruby were there. We sat around and talked and we made white chocolate chip cookies :) And Heather made us beer bread. Mmmm it was so good. I was stuffed.
Tomorrow everyone will be gone and Tina and I will be here all alone.
I can't wait to have the suite to myself.
