The assignment was to describe our spring break in one paragraph for Italian class last Tuesday. Until I took the creative liberty to write more, the only way I could possibly explain was with multiple incoherent ramblings and allegories (using zero percent Italiano). If you could imagine the following scenario, you'll skip to the page I'm on: Envision being in a stable, quasi committed relationship. For me, this is Florence and I. We're reasonably obsessed with each other, but by-in-large the honeymoon is over. Neither of us shave our legs anymore and we'd rather watch wheel of fortune than go through the motions ONE more night. THEN I cruised online and went on a blind date with Berlin, thinking it would mean nothing until it meant everything. We ate Currywust, drank Berliner Pilsener, tagged brick walls, chased pidgins with air dusters, and woke up wearing oversized plaid shirts.
Fortunately, we share the same passion for dingy bars.
Unfortunately, I've cheated on someone I do love.
As a result, I've decided I'm learning German, getting a hobby (collage-ing), a side job (collage-ing for pay) and a real job (tour guide for tips) and moving to Berlin after I graduate. Then we can pick up right where we left off: 3AM at curry-point. As for Florence, if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.
