There are a lot of things that I love about New York. A lot of the things I love in NYC I hated back in MI and vice versa: The rain, honking horns, long walks, the sound of lapping waves, coffee at 5 a.m., Starbucks, ambivalently temperatures, the snow. I used to hate snow in MI. When I was back recently it was probably the most upsetting thing about the whole trip (save seeing James). Richard (the complete opposite of James) lives on a cul de sac in Brooklyn and I can tell you that last night while was waiting for him to come home with chinese food I was watching the snow fall outside in the street and thinking "damn thats amazing."
Earlier when was walking across 42nd street after work, I looked up and saw the snow falling juxtaposed to the gleaming lights of Broadway and 7th ave and I had to stop and just look up for a second. I had to take it in.
How could anyone hate this? At least for a moment is made me feel alive.
There's this really great line from Felicity (yes I watched Felicity! I am gay ya know!) where she's talking to her parents about why she wants to live in NYC so much and she says "I cant wait to see this city when it snows."
There's nothing like this city when it snows.
