Lazy

To save myself the excruciating (because I am lazy and because it hurts to miss it all) task of typing everything I can remember from the moment it snowed in Prague to the moment I had to leave, I will just put in a reminder to just look at my pictures. In that time span, I began to love that I brought my camera. My free, cheap-digital camera. I absolutely hate taking pictures, hate being that person who kills a moment by whipping out their camera and waiting for it to turn on or focusing it, but at that point I had to. You can't capture a moment, only a reminder of it; which is okay because what else could you do? I needed to remind myself of everything and it was my last chance. So, those efforts won't be in vain. Reminder: go through Prague Winter 2010 pictures.

But I guess I'll write about something. I'll write about that last week. The week when people started making their departures. The sad and bittersweet goodbyes, the stress about the fcked up airports and carriers and flight schedules, the group outings that got smaller and smaller each night they were organized. I was lucky. My lovelies and I left within hours of each other. Susu left on the 22nd, we woke up at 4am to see her off and wave at her taxi driving away from Jarov G. Ilona and I spent the next day together, shopping, walking around, watching Friends, cleaning, having coffee. The next morning we took the taxi together to the airport and held hands for a little bit. Then we had lunch at the airport to use up the last of our korunas, and waited at our gates together. She hugged me good bye when it was time for me to board and told me she loved me and I told her I love her back.

(Insert story of hauling ass at Frankfurt with Holly...)

And then I got home. Saw my family, my nephew, my friends, and my Justinn.

2010 was a great year. 2011? I don't know. I'll write about it in 2012.
