I loved Chicago. :heart:

I went there with my college prep group last week. We stayed mostly in the better part of town, so I can't say that I love all of the city... but it's huge. Honestly. I'd have to be a native to say how I feel about the whole damn place. I did like what I saw, though. The vibe of that city is amazing. :D

And now some random points.

Dancing mortifies me. I'd rather chat with a bartender for an hour... so I did.

There are days when you just want to stay home and be with someone, even if they're miles away and neither of you are up to chit-chat. On days like that, a familiar greeting is better than any church or panacea. <3

Fedoras are kick-ass. This is a life lesson: Respect the hat.

Oh, and if you guys ever get the chance, read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It's pretty sweet.

The quirks of Savannah, Georgia. It's hard to really explain... so here's the synopsis from Barnes and Noble:

Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty,early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction. Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case.

It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman's Card Club; the turbulent young redneck gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the "soul of pampered self-absorption"; the uproariously funny black drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young blacks dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else.

Okay, I just realized how dumb that comment sounded. >.<

Nor can I think of anything better to say. I'm slightly tempted to use the word "interesting." (in a good way).

As long as it's in the blast radius of a 100kt nuke, it's close.
