2003-09-29 - 6:29 p.m. dear chicago, you'll never guess"i awoke from all those dreams from the past suddenly and with something like a shout of laughter." (chesterton's autobiography) sometime in my twentififth year i opened my eyes after a long sleep and found i had a friend. strange that this should make all the difference. but it did. the world came back to life and i remembered how to laugh. but this was not how it was supposed to be. i was supposed to figure it all out myself, with blood, sweat, and tears. but when it came, it came as a gift. and ("fate, it seems is not without a sense of irony") it came as a boy. funny.
