epee is cooking for me again...

one of the nicest feelings in the universe is when someone who has known you for what feels like forever, who knows all the gross shit as well as the awesome shit, whom you can tell anything too...when they cook for you from scratch. he's been doing it this trip and it's been so heavenly, yo. 

epee is awesome because he's like my personal teddy bear/vault/god/devil all in one. he knows just about everything there is to know about me...one of the few people in the world that i tell all my grimey shit to. he knows how many people i'm fuckin' with, all the stupid/funny/annoying/weird/crazy/stupid shit that happens when i fucks with them. he knows when i'm sober and when i'm not, knows that my roommate always making comments about how much ass i pull annoys the fuck outta me and knows the text message code when it comes. i know when he's home, when he's drunk, when he's about to bang out a broad, when she's sleeping and he's playing video games. we know each other's family shit, life shit, job shit.

and still, with that much intimate knowledge, which usually in some way taints a relationship at some point, no matter the context of the relationship, we manage to coexist insanely well no matter how close or far away we are. we manage to be amazing friends despite how little we get to actually be in each other's company. 

a lot of times, when i'm not responding to anyone else, when i'm mad at someone, when i'm frustrated, annoyed, whatevs...i'll respond to him. when he's drunk and out with his boys, he'll respond to me. 

if that's not a loving friendship, i don't know what is. 

and he's been cooking for me. fritattas, black bean burgers, bacon, hot tea, sweet tea, fried potatoes...he's been in the kitchen this week, cutting/chopping/dicing/seasoning...and serving it up. that, my friends, is a lovely feeling. 

chicago has been lovely. seeing old heads and newish heads, seeing the big fluffy snow fall, wingfest, clark dogs, phil...all of it so far, and there's more to come. when there is time give a breakdown, i will.

but for now, i am home from the laundromat, dinner is smelling delicious, i took my vitamins and my meds and made epee his theraflu, and i'm about to play in an online poker tournament.

for now...life is great indeed and i am having happy moments. :)
