This post gave me goosebumps. Ahh the parties...and all the memories of good ol' STC.
is it on MLS yet? you know my mom and dad are back in the area and looking for a house... we could keep it 'in the family'... email me photos and asking price so I can forward to them. i was in St.C this weekend - I wish I had known you were out there - we could have grabbed a drink!

That was beautiful, and I loved how you threw details about Branner's need for you in there.
But really. I wish I could have gone to parties at your house. For some reason, I picture the house in "Risky Business."
I'm awesome. (Let's chat before I disappear for a month.)
ah, it's posts like this that remind me i'm human. i toast to your grasp of nostalgia and the sense of belonging.
stach - i know. we had some seriously great times, right?
erica - new rule: erika's not allowed in the STATE without giving me a ring. mkay?
DS - we shall chat, undoubtedly. and my house has the risky business thing going on...the parties sure help.
nico - it's definitely that sense of belonging that you start to hope doesn't leave you lonely for a home when your parents move like this. but as long as the parents are happy, i'm happy.
Interesting post. Are you just being reflecting or do you really think you'll miss that house. I think because I moved around a bit as a kid, I didn't ever get too attached to any home. My parents almost left Boston a few years ago and I was far from sad when thinking about the sale of their house. Then again, my house was most certainly not party central in high school. It's interesting how our experiences affect us so.
I party at the bars... damn. maybe i should try one in my new place sometime.
Parties in my place? Pass. I'd rather trash someone else's pad.
It really drove home my own feelings whenever I go back to visit my mom at home. It's the same place, but she's completely redecorated, and it just feels slightly uncomfortable. Like it's the same home but my memories have been painted over and tucked under the new rug.
