Because I'm obvi procrastinating at the moment

This is a really cool/creative piece of work. The artists created an animated short on walls around Buenos Aires. Check it out!

Chatters

rarely fail to charm me. When I was younger I would get completely freaked out by older folks who would engage me on the weather, school, their adult (and therefore thoroughly incomprehensible) lives. Why were they talking to me? What did they want from me? What did they want me to say??? Ever the obliging conversationalist, I would listen and try hard to figure out interesting replies and meaningful grunts to show my interest in them but it would always be a struggle. I would feel like there was some secret adult code language that I hadn't learned yet that, when mastered, would allow me to hold forth on any topic with anybody at any level of depth. Someday, I was sure, I would always know the right thing to say.

Turns out that day never came. Moreover, turns out there is no right or wrong way to talk to people. There's this guy in Utah that I have been communicating with for my job and after 2 telephone conversations, I can tell you stories from his childhood, the subject of his favorite documentary and how his son's baseball pitch is improving. He is a chatter. Granted, while speaking with him, I am sometimes seized by the old panic of what-do-I-say-when-you-tell-me-an-anecdote-about-how-you-almost-died-from-heat-stroke-when-you-were-12-years-old, but mostly I just sit back and allow myself to enjoy the random bits of life that some people can't help but share with you. This guy, like most chatters, is really just a friendly soul eager to connect with others. I may not share his same openness and I may not always know what to say but enjoying the odd awkward moment when navigating personalities different from my own is one of the awesome things about being an adult.

I never thought I'd fall for you...when I fell in love

are the lyrics to my new favorite song. This song has maybe 5 chords total and just two lines repeated over and over to a 90s club beat but every time I hear it something in my body warms to the temperature of a cup of coffee enjoyed during that moment when daylight meets twilight and the air is filled with hope, magic and the unknown.

I've heard "When I fell N Love" constantly for the past two weeks because it is the final track in a play that I am in. This song has been the crescendo of 6 hour rehearsals, it has played over drama people drama, growling stomachs, expletives uttered in place of forgotten lines and any number of tense moments between people whose lives have too quickly fallen into one. It has been the soundtrack of my growing affection for fellow cast members whose creative energy has awakened the artist inside who had been dormant for far too long. So, here's to you Sweetest Hangover crew: I never thought I'd fall for you.

(Ignore the screaming orgasm at the beginning lol)
