Things I romanticize

- Paying the rent at my new apartment for the first time (the money order glows in my hand. I don’t think it will always feel this good to drop a couple hundo, especially a few months later.)

- Record players (my god, that almost-melodic scratchy sound is… is… it’s gorgeous!)

- Being a bicycle messenger (aka asking Injury to come give me a hug. It will leave me with half a fender in my gut.)

- Eating a whole cheesecake (really, that’s not a good idea. Really. I mean, it’s not…. right?)

- Waterslides (clearly because I don’t get to ride them every day. If I did, I’d probably be wet and cranky. Who wants that? Besides, they’re a really inconvenient mode of transportation.)

- Working really, really hard (ohhh yeah I’m going to feel so good when this paper is done…)
