City streets are fine, so long as I'm on foot and not wheels
About 24 hours ago I saw that SleeplessEvil was online. "Gosh, it's been a while," thought I. Communication commenced. Then I called her so as to have a proper conversation. Then the following day I drove 2.5 hours after work to meet her in Boston, as she was there for the day for an interview. We wandered the park and had a chilly picnic on a big rock.
The trip was kind of a mad thing to do. Other people might be weirded out by the sudden appearance of an unrequested cheering squad, but with the amount of moving around both of us do for our jobs we have to seize the day when possible (I consider today seized and throttled). It's like Neptune and Pluto being close enough to high-five as they exchange orbits.
Actually, their last meeting didn't go so well...
Pluto: Yo, dude!
Neptune: I dunno if we should talk anymore, now that you're just some icy rock in the Kuiper belt.
Pluto: I can't believe you're buying into that reclassification crap. I'm a planet, dammit. I have a moon and everything.
Neptune: You probably just stole that from Uranus.
Pluto: ***rude comment concerning Uranus and Urmom***
Neptune: Perverted dwarf!
Pluto: Sizist bastard!
***incredibly rude comments***
What's with all the recent city exposure recently? Boston today, then NYC last weekend. Oh yeah, Thanksgiving weekend was a blast, since it involved shenanigans with former and current Cornellians, plus random encounters at Penn Station. There was lots of walking about, but I paid little attention to the Christmas displays and store fronts. I was too busy identifying the trees that lined the streets. Yes, any attempts to urbanize me will involve kicking and screaming. Especially kicking. Especially PantslessZen. Especially in certain places.
