Today I was approved for my apartment in Jamaica Plain! My new address will be:
240 Hyde Park Ave. #1
Jamaica Plain, MA 02130
I will be living with two young women, Vanessa and Tiffiney, and I can't wait to meet them.
Yesterday I took a walk into "downtown" Richland, got a sub sandwich and ate it in the park. I sat there, listening to Sigur Ros on my iPod, and thinking about all my memories in that small park ... hanging out with friends when we craved independence but we were too young to drive ... my first kiss on one of the wooden benches ... watching the annual 4th of July parade from the curbside ... getting drenched in the rain with Katie, my German exchange student friend ... all pieces of my former self that were now uniting in this one moment.
As I sat there, what had previously been a cloudy morning suddenly changed as a burst of sunlight broke through the clouds, sending light and warmth down on me. It was all too perfect and I couldn't help but smile.

This post is more sappy and nostalgic than a Bloody Brach flashback.
i'll take that as a compliment.
seriously. i would have to really try to beat this myself. but it probably would involve sigur ros, that's for sure.
