I'm counting down the days until Eavan, the truculent horse, returns to Iceland for another summer.
You know that time in your early 20s when you've finished college and you feel like you've made all the friends you'll ever need ever again for the rest of your life?
And then one day, out of nowhere, this short girl with a mane and boots kind of trots past you muttering something about a road trip, and the next thing you know you're on the south coast laughing crying in the midnight sun wondering why nobody ever got you like this before now and why you've never ever felt this insouciant in your whole life before not even when you were a little kid and do we ever really have to go back to Reykjavík again can't we just stay here forever in the middle of nowhere falling in love tripping over each other breaking our ankles and making complete sense to each other?
Everybody should be at least a little bit in love with all their friends.

I agree! I'm coming out of a blissful man-crush affair. Great fun! Camaraderie and listening to records and plenty of succulent ógæfa.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I've been at least a little in love with all my best friends. Truly the greatest thing on earth!
ReplyDeleteMy best friend is male and I'm pretty sure I am secretly in love with him. Have been for over 10 years. He's just so darn great and he loves me dearly. Too bad he's practically married and not to mention shagging him would probably ruin our wonderful friendship.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think.
you are so right! it just sorta happens, love and its variations are not well charted. if you get this, hi, i am tony and have enjoyed many a jaunt with that truculent horse.
