I convince Michelle and Evie that the snow is “not that bad” and it’s “totally fine” to walk 60 blocks to Sarabeth’s apartment

I’m thinking about New York because I am in New York. I Google “quotes about New York” and find this website. Quotes make me think of away messages on AIM. Kind of vague strands of thought rarely attributed to anyone. I look for more quotes. I fill my screen with the text equivalent of stock images.

My away message:

“Quite simply, I was in love with New York. I do not mean 'love' in any colloquial way, I mean that I was in love with the city, the way you love the first person who ever touches you and you never love anyone quite that way again.” — Joan Didion
