That one time on @specterspecter almost birthday, he tried to open the champagne with a wine glass. Everyone’s faces should tell you how it went. (Taken with instagram)
This is what I get for leaving all my bedding in another city. (Taken with instagram)
The other day while riding down a sidewalk in an expensive residential area of the city known as The Annex, a man who was passing by stopped and turned to me.
“You shouldn’t be doing that, you know.”
Irritated, feeling as if it was impossible for me to catch a break, I turned and looked at him. It was Ryan Gosling.
Ryan. F-cking. Gosling.
It’s not enough that he breaks up street fights in Manhattan, but now he has to be the cycling police in Toronto, too?
I have no idea why I said this, but before I knew it I had sneered, “Give me a break, Gosling!”
I pull him aside and give him a big hug and a kiss. I tell him I love him and I miss him. He doesn’t ask any questions (which wouldn’t happen in real life) and sneaks back to your side, his momentary absence unnoticed. This makes my heart heavy, but ever onward.
I turn 26 in less than a month and after 8 years I have decided to leave Chicago.
I know it’s a great place in a lot of ways, but I just find it an incredibly toxic city. I find it cannibalizing, self-aggrandizing, stagnant, uninspiring, and unsupportive. And those really shouldn’t be the first…
Replace Chicago with Grand Rapids. Exact.
