Still Blacking Out the Friction
I'm back at school now. And despite the strangely warm temperatures of recent things have suddenly changed, and I have pulled out the 'scarves and caps and sweaters.' It even snowed last night. I love the snow. Even if it flurries for just a minute or two, and even if its so cold my forehead starts pounding as I walk across campus, or my face looses all coloring and my cheeks and nose turn bright red. I still love the snow...and the cold for that matter. Its invigorating.
But anyway, in order to condense the past few weeks, and in the spirit of greatness that is John Cusack and all that is High Fidelity, I was going to give you a 'TOP 5 all-time greatest memories' from my Christmas break. But then I realized there was so much worthwhile that happened over break that I couldn't fit it in 5...So here's my top 7:
7. A wonderfully classy cocktail party. i even wore a dress! what an accomplishment.
6. Having a brother for a week with whom I could discuss the nature of faith and God and atheism etc. (here he is, looking ever so charming)
5. Reading for hours upon hours with a cup of tea and a blazing fire (read: everything is iluminated, and the lovely bones, and started disturbing the peace, yay for czech history)
4. Vietnamese Coffees at Cafe Gutenberg
3. Creating art at midnight on my back deck
2. Everything that is hope church
1. elizabeth nelson parker, maria st. clair parker, and anne-margaret parker. (this includes sitting on annies bed and talking for hours and then falling asleep together, or going on walks with liza, or discussing aesthetics with clair)
So yes, Richmond was remarkable. I didn't want to leave. Everything within me was in rebellion as I made the drive back to school. But I'm here now and its been good, in the 'its been a complete whirlwind and I don't think I've taken a breath yet,' sense of the word. I'll probably be ready to supply a thorough diagnosis next week when I've had a moment to actually collect myself.
