Pretty good

Nicole is in town this weekend. My cousin and I are similar in many ways- we look at the same things when we shop for things; where it's made, what material, cost to quality value analysis. We lucked out with the weather being a dream when we went to the flea market this morning. She got herself a coat, I got myself some some peace. I'm working on a big assignment for school right now. It's a little uninspiring, (hence this post) but it's being inspired by the fact that I'm seeing my mom and aunt tonight and my man next weekend. So it's going to be done by tomorrow to be edited next week.

Nikki is taking a nap and I just want to curl up next to her. It feels really natural having her here. Where my sister and I sort of bump around for breathing room because each of our independent personalities need its own space, Nikki's passivity is fitting in nicely. That's not to say that having my sister here a month ago was bad- it was really refreshing to be reminded of unconditional love. But for better or worse, my sister is my doppelganger, and we don't fuck around. She's strong, she's smart, she's the best and I miss her everyday. I hope one day we'll live in the same city, just, not in the same bedroom like we were forced to growing up.

Nikki likes my apartment. I'm excited for my mom to come see it. Although sometimes I feel like all I do is clean and 'maintain' this place, I forget that it's actually pretty nice. It's big. The floors are nice. The ceilings are high. My bedroom is cozy. My study (I have a study!) is perfect. For the most part I love it although there are always the little things that I can do without. I guess my living situation won't be totally perfect for a while, not until it's my own my own (with the one I love presumably) and so I live on. As long as it's not Hiscock House all over again, I shouldn't die. I should, in fact, try to remember why I enjoy it.

I should also, in fact, remember why I'm out here. Law School. And with that, my half hour of procrastination shall come to a close, and I return to my assignment.

But real quick, my friend Gina totally channeled my music choice of this morning. Must be in the air...
This Song.
