I'm back in Hollidaysburg now. I've been home since the 23rd. I've spent most of my time hanging out with old friends, and sitting in either Eat 'n Park or Kings until two in the morning. It's been good to see everyone, and, in a strange way, I miss this town. I very much enjoy chilling with my old friends until five in the morning, taking walks down the proverbial memory lane and creating new ones on the way. I miss the time I've spent in this town. However, my heart is in New York. I love that city and its crazy crazy ways. I miss going to hookah bars at one in the morning and returning to the dorm to sing Beatles tunes until the sun rises again. And I miss my friends that I have made there. But I know that as soon as I go back I'm going to miss the friends I made in high school. It's this win-lose situation that drives me insane.
I can't sleep. And even when I can, it isn't at a decent hour. Maybe it's being back in this town. I think I've become accustomed to sleeping with sirens blazing the background and drunk people yelling strange but comical statements in the streets. It's just too quiet here. Anymore I sit in my bedroom and listen to music until five a.m. This habit cannot be good, but it's what I do.
School doesn't start again until the 18th, but I think I'm going to mosey on back to New York on the 11th. I figure that gives me a week to find another job (one that doesn't pay sporadically if at all) and time to work before my hectic schedule begins again. So the question arises, how should I spend my last few days in Hollidaysburg? I'm open to mostly anything.
And, yeah, I had a chance to meet the Strokes, and I blew it. Go me.
