Misty Watercolor Memories

I've been feeling a bit "meh" lately about my life (just a phase, I'm sure), so I haven't posted much. But this morning I've decided to just get the hell on with making my life better...and was inspired by what I saw in [livejournal.com profile] spasticat's journal:

If you read this, even if I don't speak to you often, you must post a memory of me. It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad, just so long as it happened. Then post this to your journal to see what people remember about you.

Go ahead - good, bad, or ugly, post away!



PS - [livejournal.com profile] deeablo...in my quest to have less worldly goods, I'm considering giving up the shiny pink purse. If I opt not to keep it, would you have any use for it?

I can remember perfectly clearly the day we actually met: from being at the airport and worrying that I wouldn't know you but then there was no doubt and we HUGGED OMG! and then in the cab, and how NYC looked seeing it from the inside and not on a screen. And then us two sitting in the hotel bar at three in the afternoon, and the sun was shining and all the food tasted great, and then we had the first of the Cosmopolitans...

I remember you putting up serenely with me being as sick as a dog and as hungover as a dead dog the next day. I remember us in the underground and going to Ground Zero in the rain... and a host of other things, all the things we saw, I see you like a wall full of Polaroids with little sound bubbles for each, and how your voice sounded, and especially us having that last meal alone together on Saturday night in the posh restaurant. And it was all so good and the only thing I'd change is that I'd have liked the hangover to be a couple of hundred per cent smaller.

You and New York are inextricable in my head and it was, oh, just a wonderful time for me.

It was a fabulous time for me as well! Though I wish a few things could have been a little different about the trip (like that I hadn't felt all pissy and crappy that last full day), it was absolutely wonderful to meet you and to play with all the NY people...

Maybe one day after we've both saved enough scratch, we can travel together again - the world is waiting for us!
