yeah yeah, i've been lazy aboot writing, and there's a lot to say. so, to ease into thangs, i shall commence with a list, complete with illustrations (where applicable.)
things i like about paris:
-crêpes, croissants, nutella, camembert, chèvre...ooh, i'm getting so fat
-les cafés (bien sûr). and how you can order just one coffee and sit there forever and no one cares.
-L'as du Fallafel ('recommanded' by Lenny Kravitz! see below.)
-Monoprix (it's like a little slice of home)
-and also the Franprix (if it weren't for leader price brand and free food from work, i wouldn't be eating)
-the fact that every apartment building is old and gorgeous
-seeing the Eiffel Tower peeking out from behind buildings
-seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle (every hour on the hour)
-being able to stare into the windows of my neighbors, especially at night
-the view from my window in general
(on peut voir l'ange de la bastille!)
(rue amelot)
-DESPERADOS (part beer, part tequila, pure deliciousness)
-being pretentious and doing "la bise" with other american, canadian, and other non-french individuals...you would all probably hate me if you witnessed it, but hey man, when in rome
-the fact that the sun rises before six and doesn't set until 10
-le jardin du luxembourg!!
(i could sit here all day)-where anna works: The Moose
-witnessing french people doing stereotypical french things, such as carrying around baguettes. and smoking a lot. and protesting things\striking at the drop of a hat.
-walking along the seine
exhibit a: line for sex and the city "le film, exclusivement au cinéma le 28 mai"
i can assure you though, it's not ALL fun and games.
things i don't like about paris:
-the exchange rate...ooh, boy
-manual operation of the car doors on the métro? seems to me those bitzes be ASKIN for trouble
-creepy french men
-fearing for the lives of people crazy enough to ride vélibs in places like...place de la concorde
-my roommate, who, while super nice, is basically me in ten years. (extremely single and extremely neurotic. she doesn't have pets, but if she were to acquire any friendlets of the feline variety, she would totally qualify for "cat lady" status.) eep, talk about a depressing glance into the future.
-missing my fam and friendlets : (....who wants to come visit??
so, in conclusion:
minus the exchange rate and the lack of YOU GUYS...paris, je t'aime.
will write more latrons.
p.s. if anyone wants to send me mails, you may do it hurr-

you're crazy! you're not going to be a CAT LADY, do you even like cats? a twenty-something who spontaneously lives the life in paris one summer does not end up a cat lady ten years down the road... shhhhheeeeesh. okay self-esteem building aside, i'm glad you're having such an encroyable time in paris! it's great you're taking advantage of so much (and have a job!). love and miss you immensely! don't forget to sit in the paris mosque and drink mint teas one leisurely afternoon.. and to think of me while you're doing it of course :)
