We had cockroaches and mice. I once saw a junkie get arrested on my block. A couple kids stole my cell phone. I had a girlfriend for a little bit, but we didn’t really like each other all that much. We mostly just got along, which still puts her in the top half of Girls I’ve Dated. I mainly remember waiting outside her apartment in the dead of winter for the shuttle bus that replaces the L, and thinking, why am I doing this? I would see happy couples together and wish to myself that I had a girlfriend before remembering that I did in fact have one. Now she’s getting married. Today, in fact. I’m glad she found someone.
