"I fall asleep with my friends around me,

Jul 10, 2005 09:00

The only place I feel safe,
I guess I'll call this home.

So I'm back. Yes, I lied to the vast majority of people. God forbid I should try to surprise anyone. Deal with it.

Things feel so much the same. Which is good, I wouldn't ask for things to be different. It's just strange to go away for so long and come back to anything. Before leaving Spain, people asked me about reverse culture shock, and about if I was excited to see my parents again, but really this is what I've been the most nervous about. The subtle ways people have grown up, slight differences in the group structure... It's changed enough to make me believe that I was, in fact, gone for that long, but so much of it's still the same. Only a few little nuances to learn and remember.

I'll just put it this way: The 36 hours or whatever of plane travel was the easy part. And waiting is the hardest thing for me to do... in the whole fucking world.

Part of me wants to make breakfast for everyone, and the other part of me wants to disappear into oblivion for a little while.

I'm not sure if it's me or my less-than-four-hours of sleep talking.
