///19.12 short but sweet










19.12.2008

i got up to a beautiful, grey morning with amiina playing in the background. it was perfect. i was looking at the window and i felt that something was about to happen. L made me some tea. he had to run to finish his essay. i remember his red scarf. F fixed some breakfast: christmas porridge with cinnamon, christmas bread, ham, cheese, jam.

i moved into C's cribz at tekniska högskolan that afternoon. swedish tv, feeling right at home, groceries at ICA roslagstull, and the pizza place across it! i had hawaiian pizza. on the table beside me, a boy was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. he was looking out the window, crying. he was 13, maybe 14. his friend gave him some coke, but he wouldnt touch it. the pizza came but he was just sitting there, head buried in his arms, crying.

i met L and his friend AJustice at medborgarplatsen, we walked along hornsgatan, not really knowing where to go or what to do. we ended up taking the tunnelbana to hötorget, had turkish burgers and falafels at hötorsalen. language geekiness and religion. then we had coffee at s:t eriksplan at ritorno. red walls, mirrors, chandeliers, coffee cups, a dala horse gingerbread cookie. i think it's my favorite place in the world now.
