hmm it just occurred to me that even though i'm seriously contemplating a few drastic life changes... if everything does change, i'm going to miss this place a lot. i used to think that i wouldn't miss houston, but even these days i find myself reminscing about random people, places, and events from my life there. i think the hardest part about moving to seattle was not knowing the city as well as i knew houston. sure all i knew in houston were suburbs, chinatown, and around rice and the university district, but it was so familiar. i never felt completely and utterly lost.
it took me a few months to adjust back to seattle. i had interned here twice and i kind of knew my way around, but it wasn't that same familiar feeling anymore. now that i've lived here for a year and a half i've started feeling familiar things again i know where i like to get coffee & dessert (several places in fact - B&O, Dilletante, the W, Cafe Septieme), Tully's has the best chairs in RTC, bubble tea (Regent, Gossip, new place next to Uwajimaya), dim sum (Ming's, Imperial Seafood, Top Gun), where to park for Pike's Place Market, Belltown clubs and bars (just starting to get to know those), where to play pool (the Garage, Belltown Billiards), restaurants for breakfast, sunday brunch, lunch, dinner, dates etc... and yet i'm ready for change. i guess it's kind of up to someone else to figure out my next step.
