A last week at home

Dude where are you!? I haven't seen you in such a long time!
I am sooooo good at time management.
No really, there are so many people I have not seen while I have been in the USA.
So during this final week maybe I'll get things accomplished and maybe I wont. So it's great being back to visit la famiglia and so on, but it's getting a little out of hand just sitting here and spending most of the time trying to decide what to do with one conclusion, the same one every time: dude, there's nothing to do except for broin down. I've spent pretty much every waking moment with my bff Jane and when I wasn't with her I was knitting my Slytherin scarf.
It is supa rainy out and I'll just have to walk to town through it.

I like trash


I really don't know where this comes from. I'm not a messy person and I think that a dirty house is quite disgusting, but I love it when there is tons of trash in the street!
Living in Rome you think I'd get sick of it, the countless plastic bags, cardboard boxes, smashed bottles of beer, and fresh dog turds. But no. I love it. And abandoned lots full of sleeping bums, don't even get me started. Those are great when you just really need to pee by the side of the road!
I guess this contributed to my wonderful new years eve. Went down to North Philly with my BFF. Walked down sketchy alleys (probably some of the most sketchy places I've been to yet) we were both, I must admit, freaking out a little. But it was thrilling. Occasional piles of rubbish were everywhere. It somewhat resembled the location when a bum assumes a nomadic lifestyle after living on the same corner for a while. You can see the grease smeared against the corner of a building, some paper maybe some cardboard, and that tell-tale half-eaten bagel that shows he left his place of living in a rush.
Maybe you don't agree with this, but spending dancing time in a big old warehouse is only possible in a place like this. So by association or by pure aesthetic illogical attraction I feel at home only when I am comfortable throwing my mayonnaise napkin or empty cigarette pack on the ground.
Let's start littering!
