RECAAAAP!

Here is a note I wrote on MAY 13th, 2009:

"In two days my boyfriend James and I will be setting off in our station wagon, packed with all the belongings we can fit inside, and driving 2,000 miles to Denver. I definitely did not plan on leaving this fast (I just graduated last Saturday) but I potentially have a great job out there waiting for me and if I want it I need to take the initiative and go get it. Denver offers far more opportunity for cheap housing and jobs than any city around here and thought I don't want to say goodbye to New England but at the same time I don't want to become jaded; I want to spend time away in some place new so that I can come back here and be so happy to see all my trees, cows, and barns again. I love all of you and I don't want to leave any of you, but if there is a time to do this, it is now.

As I mentioned earlier, James is coming too. This is good, because I don't have to make the trip alone and he's from that area originally so he wants to help me get settled and show me what Colorado has to offer. Though incredibly overwhelmed, I am immensely excited...I've always wanted to take a cross country road trip; I just wish I could haul all of you with me. My car is beat up and old but we got it checked out and $250 later they said it's good to go.

I'll be taking my camera and I'll be making notes the whole way, and I PROMISE I will not lose touch with you just because I'm way out there. I want to share this with my favorite people, and if doesn't work out, I can always come back. ALSO, you bitches better come out and visit me. The apartment I'm looking at is mere blocks away from the park, Denver Zoo, lots of shopping, and a couple museums. It will be easy to stay busy.

Okay, well I have lots more packing to do before Friday...if it's at all possible to say goodbye in person, I'd definitely like to do so. My phone is on, so call if you want to."

Okay, so the trip was successful, I now live in Denver, I have a job working at the local rape crisis center, and life is weird and busy and still happening. The reason I've posted this is because now I may actually have time to blog again, and not only that, I may actually have things to blog about. For example, in the last two days I've been hugged by a religious black pirate and hit on by a shy Mexican man: "Do you have time, miss?" "Oh, um, sure! *looks at cell phone" "It's 4:13." "Oh, okay. Hey..." *blushes and looks away* "Miss, are you...are you single?".

And that's just a taste of things to come. Oh my yes.
