Right now I feel physically crappy. I didn't sleep a lot last night, and just...ugh.
Anyway, I've been thinking about how circular things are. And how everything is interconnected. Isn't it weird how, growing up in one place, you know/know of so many people? It's like there are branches that go all over Greensboro and then from here all over the world. Like, it turns out that my next door neighbor when we lived in Raleigh, who was three years older than me, goes to college at Smith, which is in the consortium with Amherst. She's going to take classes at Amherst next year. We haven't seen each other in thirteen years.
I'm going to Portland with my parents on Wednesday. I'm really looking forward to it. My mom and I will hang out while my dad is working, which is always really fun. When I was little, she used to say we were "going on adventures", and we'd go to a museum or a park or get ice cream. I think we might go to the art museum and see an outdoor concert, and we're going to drive to Eugene, where my mom used to live. It's so weird to see places where my parents lived because it's like, "Oh yeah, they lived this whole life that I was never a part of."
I've been listening to so much Jack Johnson.
