Sinister: when it hurts we return to the banks of certain rivers

[sophia katrina]

DISCLAIMER: this is not one of those goodbye post that tells you all you 
suck, so please, read on.

It's been a week of strange epiphanies - including but not limited to

*Tibetan Buddhism
*Househunting nirvana: a live/work space at a bargain price that will allow 
me to fulfill my lifelong dream of moving into a huge unheatable warehouse 
like the characters in Rent
*Run-on sentences that don't make sense
*Overdoses of caffeine
*Words said to me in a bar, late at night, that made me feel like I was in 
the elevator in the Empire State building that plummets to the ground so 
quickly that it feels like your body has been left behind at the top

Now that I'm leaving for ports unknown (tomorrow I really am taking the bus 
from St. Kilda to King's Cross, then on to Britain & Europe - because for 
some reason English people think these are two separate places - then the 
States). It's time to bid you all so long, farewell, auf wiedershen, selamat 
datang and adieu (or should I say au revoir) until August. It's been swell, 
kids.

Some poorly remembered parting words from Raymond Carver:

And did you get what you wanted, after all?
I did.
To be beloved,
To call myself beloved on this earth.

Much love,
your Sophia

P.S. I'm stuck in New York City on standby for 2 weeks in July. Anyone know 
anything fun to do in New York in July?
