Rain, Quizzes, and Europe
The latter rain weatherbound my already limited
outdoor activities, which in turn left me spare time for
answering those silly personality quizzes on the internet.
One
amusing thing about these self-imposed interrogations is the certainty
that no matter who you are, dumb or dumber, smart or smarter, they
always come up with flattering facts about yourself. Kinda
like the courteous acquaintance one foolish person is prone to call a
bestfriend because he only says the good about you, and you go on
craving to believe that you are that man’s reflection. Naturally,
those who dare to tell you the ugly truths about yourself become the
enemy, and naturally, there is no such internet quiz that exists.
One
of the results I encountered that did not flatter much, was a line
stating that with the kind of personality I have, I should be living in
Europe. Well, didn’t I always know that? Haha =P The other one remarked that I was the sort of woman who should be working for a world organization. Hmmm… U.N. here I come! =P

Early this morning, I dragged a groggy Misha out of bed into the rain.
There
we laughed, there we held hands and danced, there we ran around, there
we jumped on puddles, there I became a little girl again, there I said
to myself, “Europe can wait, Greece, Russia, Austria, and Italy can
wait, the rest of the world can wait, I’m needed here,” and there I
turned my face to the heavens as everything else bled into a
watercolour painting and only Misha and I and the leaves and Love were
alive…
but for a moment,
I did wish you were there – alive with us…
holding my other hand.
