a long overdue update
so yes, I did make it back to Canada safe & sound. that was a week ago, although it feels like much longer. and now, I'm already back in MN.
no, my mom did not kick me out already :P
as we were packing up my stuff last friday, it became obvious that it was not all going to fit into the minivan. I wasn't really concerned about it because there were a few boxes I could mail, and a few boxes that I didn't need right away that I could leave in Ramu's basement. but taji0143, being the crazy and sweet girl that she is, offered to drive with us to Canada. it's even more crazy because she drives a Mini Cooper, but, we did fit all the extra stuff into it. amazingly, my mom agreed to take her up on this offer - but once we got there, she realized how crazy it was, hence why I am already back in MN. even though Leah probably could have made it back on her own (she had a place to stop in Chicago overnight), my mom bought me a ticket to fly back to Toronto on Tuesday and sent me back with her.
of course, my mom doesn't realize how she made things so much better and so much harder all at the same time. it was already pretty crazy how much Leah and I bonded in such a short time, and now we've had an extra week and 1600 miles of road tripping to get even closer, and an extra week to be in denial about the fact that I'm not living in MN anymore.
it's hard to be mad at the world when you're ridiculously happy, but seriously... WHAT THE FUCK? I feel like my commitment to my "no day but today" philosophy is being tested, or the universe is trying to tell me to stay in MN (which pisses me off when I had finally convinced myself that going back to Canada was the better option).
the reality and the ridiculous irony is that we wouldn't even have met if I wasn't moving back - it was 3 weeks ago that I went to the 90's because I wanted to make sure that I got there once more before I left Minneapolis, and she just happened to come out with her brother. and then he talked her into coming to my going away party at Dan's, and we've pretty much been inseperable since then.
and I know it's all about the NRE and the dopamine right now, but it feels perfect and I don't understand why such an amazing person would show up in my life at this particular time. and I don't know what to do.
