some lists i would like to share with you

things i miss about my life in the united states
sarah, avalon, and reilly

dragonfruit vitamin water

eating emergen-c from the packet

the longmont and the firestone libraries

going on long walks, at night, barefooted

being able to actually play guitar hero

all the tv being in english, and having dvr

flatirons and twin peaks mall, even though twin peaks has about one store left

going through all the clothes at ross

walking to king soopers, reading magazines, and buying things like dr. pepper and marshmallows

caramel frappucinnos

seventeen and cosmo! girl magazines

93.3

understanding what people are saying around me all the time

things i'll miss like crazy whenever it is that i move from sweden
school.

all my friends

all my freedom to go wherever i want without adults

my apartment; my bedroom

how pretty the city always is

walking around

everything about the subways

swedish

the view out my window

marabou chocolate

the scoopable candy at grocery stores

strawberry fun lite

and i have NO idea which place i prefer at this point. these are just small lists of the things i love about each place. the lists don't consider my schooling for my 10th grade year, the terrible economy of america right now, or any other of the million factors we have to consider while we decide where to go.

nobody in my family is set on one option, besides emily, who wants to stay.

nobody knows what to pick right now. this will be the third school year in a row about which we've worried constantly about what side of the world we'll live on.
