The Third Coast

I'm in Chicago (well, at the moment, technically Oak Park) and it's been wonderful. I got here on Friday afternoon and I wandered around the downtown and just felt so happy. (I like Chicago in and of itself and haven't been back in eons, I've started watching due South and thus was having a lot of feels, and also I learned a decent bit about Chicago in American history last semester, so all in all, feels.) It's so nice to be living such a low-stress lifestyle! Like, what even. Who am I.

Not that I don't have a million things to do in a very short time frame when I get back to Berkeley, because I do, but it's been an excellent cap to my three week adventure. I'm currently in my friend K's lovely apartment--I haven't seen her in far too long, and we picked up just where we left off--and I had a lovely time at the wedding yesterday with friends old and new. If I met you at the wedding yesterday, fellow fan people, please say hi in the comments!

OMG! *experiences intense nostalgia*

Such a great place to be! All the Frank Lloyd Wright houses, and Ferrara Pan candy...

Isn't Chicago lovely? I was born there, in Pilsen, & tho we moved north just a year later I still feel a lot of kinship with it.
