...except that i loved the world of Ur with my whole heart, big and messy and complicated, because it was that kind of world, deep and broad and beautiful and it was as real a place as ever existed in imagination, as amazing and surprising as any other place.
and i lived there and i loved there and always, always i live in groddle meadow.
i lived there once. i live there now. i will always live at 5117 estevan meadow.
no, that's not entirely true; i lived once in a starter apartment off of doon way.
but you never forget that first house you buy, the one you toil in the mines and save for. you never forget how you searched the real estate listings for something not too far from the subway but also not too close to the center of town.
you never forget how it took forever to walk to aranna, or the first time you went to the bottom of the deeps.
hangers-on, i do not need to explain these things to you.
you are my favorite estonian.
