What I Did on Spring Break, by chicky.
Okay, well, let's get the drama out of the way right up front. My beautiful, lovely Linds was going through some serious drama issues before I arrived, and the drama continued pretty much through the whole visit. There was some 125% necessary tough love, as well as a lot more tears than I expected (on my end, anyway). There were a lot of days of just vegging, which was both awesome (aka exactly what I needed) and a little disappointing (aka compared to all the road tripping we're used to), and there was a LOT of junk food (which may not sound like a big deal, but I'd wanted to actually eat, you know, human food while I was on vacation -- and yet, almost all of the junk food was my idea. Go figure). I think we watched more TV than Linds has ever watched EVER, and I finally tied her down to make her watch Juno, which she loved, which is like, such a DUH moment, because dude, I'm brilliant. :P
But all in all it was brilliant. From like, moment one I felt more like myself than I have in seriously months, and it was like coming home after having gotten lost in a crazy neighborhood. And despite all of the drama -- and dude, it was drama the likes of which I hadn't seen since like, Oz -- I still sobbed like a baby at the idea of leaving, and I seriously wanted to just stay there forever. I can't even tell you.....my bff has surrounded herself with THE most amazing people, and I am so in awe of just like, her LIFE. And I miss hugs, and I miss all the (completely innocent) touching (and the not-so-innocent, hehe). And I miss people not being surprised when I bust out with "that's what she said", or grabbing their boobs. And I miss the way that yeah, I feel self-conscious while I'm getting ready to leave the house, but the second I'm out of the house I'm completely ready to face the world.
I miss feeling like I could take on the world and still come out on top.
(That's what she said.)
I met several amazingly brilliant, powerful people, and I miss them despite having known them for pretty much about a day. I feel so much better for having crossed paths with them for just a second, and I eagerly await future path crossings.
A few pics because we're dorks and it's just kind of legendary -- wait for it! -- dairy!!!!
(All from the last day, because um, that's the only day it occurred to either of us to take pics. Lame, huh? Yeah, we're awesome. LOL!)
Hope everyone else had a good week. I'm off to Boston tomorrow for work (which means there's a good chance I'll journal again tomorrow, yay?) and Omaha next week for personal (w00t?), so I kind of feel like I don't know which way is up, these next few weeks. But uh, what's new with you?
mwahs.
