perfect snow flakes and the eternal flame.... well, gas...
i was stunned how air travel makes distance seems nothing, regardless of my slight guilt for adding extra carbon exhaust into the atmosphere. i spent the long weekend in buffalo, visiting a good friend, an old friend, and meeting new ones. it was really good to be away from 'dence for a little while, and just do things that pleased me that i can't do much of, like taking a stroll in the neighborhood and go to the farm share.
on saturday, thomas, me and a friend went on a hike in the snow, cold and snowy in a beautiful and pleasant way. i was told that this hike is short and sweet, and leads to what is called "eternal flame," a natural gas reserve where people light a fire so it flickers behind a waterfall. the day started with a thunder and a lightening with a gusty wind and a heavy snowfall. by the time we got to the park, the snow slowed a little, and the perfect crystals of snow accumulated on my blue jacket. the hike was short (may be a couple of miles total), and we took a bunch of tiny expeditions crossing the half-frozen creek and climbing the slopes on the by the tree roots. it was wonderful to be outside, and it was a grand fun. i always enjoy letting my child-self out into the wild. the fire was unfortunately not lit, and the footing by the waterfall got pretty sketchy, so we only got to smell the gas, and so we renamed the place the "eternal gas" which we found extremely funny.
in the evening in the "single-dig(it)" weather, we took the subway and watched juno which i had been wanting to see for a while. i absolutely loved it. and the music was great - it was mostly by kimya dawson and perhaps mouldy peaches. regardless, it was sweet and cute and the acting was fantastic. and of course, funny. here is the quote by juno's dad about true love. it resonated in me really hard. i guess i believe in it too.
"In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with."
