HEY ALL! So...list of newly acquired things:
1. kind-of man friend who pays for dinner and delicious cognac...
2. friendship.
3. found silver scarf
4. new perspective on feminism as "womanism" which comes from a place of strength rather than victimization...
5. garnet fish necklace
6. location for free refills on soda...people seemingly dont drink water here...
7. crazed owl
8. Giant frickin metranome
9. owl professor
10. newly found appreciation for ladies who are strong enough (and stupid enough) to wear high heels...on cobblestones...to five story giant dance clubs...and be able to walk the next day...
11. ladies who never wear the same outfit twice...(Madison and Sally)
12. intelligent men-folk...who talk about more than their own dicks (a surprisingly nice change)
13. lists that dont ramble...
14. peppermint tea in a foreign country...so comforting
15. random coincident that a GIANT jazz festival just happens to occur while I'm here HECK YES!
16. Restaurants on top of giant hills over looking spires and spires of gold and turquoise
17. Lady bugs that resurrect themselves
18. Being the Queen of the Man-Running-Runners-Gang...we kick ass...what can I say?

I love it here.
