I am so lucky to say that I am laying on D and L's livingroom floor after eating a geriatric approved dinner and this place is so wonderful. I am so jealous of this home. I am going to spend as much time as I can in this city and in this house and with these wonderful people. I think about how far I am from having my own little piece of heaven and I can only hope that my welcome will not be outstayed as I visit this place every weekend, like every weekend.
As we approached D's house I kept asking if the following house was hers, saying it was a real live adult house, and she said house, not actually adult house. But I must beg to differ. There has never been a more adult home I have met, not b/c it is stuffy or filled with adult things, but rather because it is filled with lots of love. And I think we all kinda look at our lives as just extensions of our college or even some (me for example) and extension of our teenage years. But as a young 22 I can very much say that we are adults and are doing very important things. I realized that I decided to come to boston before I went to NY without any consultation with my mother. That might not seem like much to most of you out there, but it is a big deal in my life. And the realization that I make most of my decisions whether they be what to eat or where to go or what to do without asking my parents is sorta a big deal.
And walking into this lovely home that is very much an adult home has made me realize how happy I am even if I am living in h-town and scoring monkey like grades on the gre or eating donuts for dinner b/c I realized that was the only thing I had in my home.
Daisy said over dinner which consisted of all liquified veggies that we have come a long way since we met our freshman fall. I eat bran cereal and local organic granola, we have jobs, we live not with the parents and we basically could never have imagined this is where we would be 4 years after we met on that faithful day during trips. Then after we spoke for a little longer I asked if in 45 years we would be having this very same liquified meal together at some table in some city, and she said yes but probably out of a straw. I don't know how I feel about the straw, but I hope we are still having meals together, and I guess in the best world the table would have a few more chairs and a few more friends around it.
Kitty is asleep on my back as I write, but it is late and I need to do a little research about my adventure alone in boston tomorrow morning which will consist of going to the museum and getting a cordless drill. Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the day or night wherever you are.
love,
J
