genoprimanti:
Certain moments of living in the city will always stick out to you. Buying plums from a fruit vendor on 34th street and eating three of them on a long walk, the day you spent in bed with your best friend watching Tyra Banks, the amazing rooftop party you attended on a sweltering hot day in July.

Brother: The Senate just voted to end Don't Ask Don't Tell
Me: FINALLY!! brb joing Army...
Brother: Guess you'll have to find another way to dodge the draft.
Me: SHIT! brb sawing off tip of trigger finger

Me: Well, not yet....

self-imposed ban
katehasablog:
Chicago has bars and late bars. Late bars are open two extra hours, which means one can drink until 5am on Saturday nights (or 4am any other night).
My friends took over ownership of the late bar in my neighborhood about two weeks ago. I’d been there before; it was a rough crowd and not that big of a deal. Now it’s filled with friends and I have been there more nights than I...
