half the people at the table were italians and the other half were trying to become italian by osmosis: tutored in the language, all italian friends, all italian furniture
("become italian by osmosis" omg love the word choice)

id broken off with both of these guys because i was impatient with ordinary sunsets; i was sure that somewhere a grandiose carnival was going on in the sky and i was missing it.. "i wonder," i said to my mother, "if i'll ever get married." "well, if you do," she said, "marry someone you don't mind"
