Going to Philly this weekend makes me think about how much traveling I wish I could do this summer... hopefully some of it will happen at some point in the near future:
I want to go back to good old Kent, OH, where there are a few people I haven't seen in ages who I would *love* to see again, not least of which is
brushedwithhope.
I want to go to CA or Portland or wherever the artist formerly known as
chubbycore happens to be when I get a chance to visit.
It would also be nice to get to Grand Island, NY to see my grandmother and my tiny little brother who doesn't even know who I am and maybe some aunts and uncles and cousins. And, well, my dad, though I don't feel desperate to see him so much.
And then Snellville, GA to see my mom and my sister who is coming back to the states in a week and a half!!! after being in China for nearly two years.
Boston to visit O, who I haven't seen in over year, which is just simply not right.
New Orleans to visit G who I haven't seen since she visited me briefly in Philly three summers ago.
WHY ARE ALL THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE SO DAMN FAR AWAY???
Seriously, something needs to be done about this. I should just abduct them all for their [my] own good.
