travels

places I want to will visit in the near future:

-San Francisco (and Oakland)

-Berlin

I keep having dreams about visiting San Francisco, falling in love with it, and then moving there. I’m not really sure why; I’ve never been to CA before. With the exception of spending last summer in Seattle, I always traveled to the northeast coast before that. I love that part of the US- especially for the convenience of NYC, DC, Philly, and Boston being not too far apart from one another, but it’s time to explore new places. 

reading Dostoevsky

“Consequently, we sometimes desire pure rubbish because, in our own stupidity, we consider it the easiest way to achieve some previously assumed advantage. Well, and when all this has been analyzed, calculated on paper, then, of course, all so-called desires will no longer exist. For if some day desires are completely reconciled with reason, we’ll follow reason instead of desire simply because it would be impossible, for example, while retain one’s reason, to desire rubbish, and thus knowingly oppose one’s reason, and desire something harmful to oneself…”

"Even sticking to the higher plane of love, is it so very obvious that you can’t love more than one person? We seem to manage it with parental love (parents are reproached if they don’t at least pretend to love all their children equally), love of books, of food, of wine (love of Chateau Margaux does not preclude love of a fine Hock, and we don’t feel unfaithful to the red when we dally with the white), love of composers, poets, holiday beaches, friends … why is erotic love the one exception that everybody instantly acknowledges without even thinking about it? Why can a woman not love two men at the same time, in their different ways? And why should the two – or their wives — begrudge her this?"

Richard Dawkins

I’m not poly, but this is an awesome quote.

And it leads me to question why I’m not poly. I don’t know, to be honest. I’m just…not. Kind of like how I know I’m straight, I guess. I don’t mean to trivialize the whole thing, of course—I know that for many people, it’s a hell of a lot more complicated than this.

Back on the tumblr. This started out as a travel blog for when I spent last summer in the pacific northwest. I’m not quite sure what I plan to do with it now, but I DO plan on updating it.

I’m really bad at updating this. I think mostly because I don’t go on the internet too often, and when I do, it usually cuts out after a few minutes.

soon…

:]

I wonder

when it will be summer weather here. On the plus side, I learned how to “like” something on tumblr.  Now onto not changing my theme every hour…

I thought it would make sense to change the title of my page from “Seattle Summer” because I want to talk about things besides my being here (despite it being totally awesome).
