Hello from Pasadena, MD.
It has been an amazing week staying with Jordan. The moment I saw his car pulling up to me at the airport I knew I was going to have the best time of my life; it was totally intuitive. He has been a very gracious host and a really great friend all week, I couldn't have met a better guy. It's for that reason that I am very upset to be leaving in a few days. On Sunday Vanessa will be driving back to Hadley House from North Carolina and she will be picking me up along the way. I know the road trip back home will be absolutely amazing (though maybe a bit somber), so at least I have one thing to look forward to in that respect.
Since I've arrived, Jordan and I have spent a lot of time hanging out with his friends, sightseeing, and maybe a bit too much shopping. I need to stop spending so much money! I reopened my industrial piercing a few days ago. The piercing was done by a very nice (and intimidating) man named Spanky. I am going back to see him today for another piercing. I'll post pictures once all is said and done.
We drive around town a lot and Jordan will point out all of these places and events from his past and it's all really amazing to hear. Whenever I drive around my hometown I become so overwhelmed with nostalgia, although oftentimes it's not a welcome feeling. I can never comprehend what it was like to grow up in Pasadena, but it really gave me a lot of insight on my own feelings toward my hometown. More on that later if I get around to it.
