Its a different world up here...
So...I am now in Kentucky for two weeks and am already bored out of my feakin mind.
So Saturday my mom and I woke up early early to catch our flight to Nashville. After packing three suitcases and drinking a cup of coffee, a granita, and two espresso shots, we were on the plane. Of course, like always, plane trips make me sad because I think about my Uncle Steve the entire trip, I miss him...
My dad picked us up around 9:30 in Nashville and then it was a two and a half hour drive to our house.
First observation: Kentucky smells the same it always does. I can't describe it. Its like an outside smell, but not like anything I've ever smelled in Louisiana. I dunno. All of my clothes will smell like it once I get home if you are too curious...
So far I have watched three movies. I'm sure another one will come tonight. I saw Phantom of the Opera for the first time... very good. I also saw Life Aquatic..very wierd...I don't think I would see that one again.
I feel out of place here. I don't talk like anyone. Their immediate reaction is "where are you from?" If they dont say that they just give a wierd glance. Of course, my dad does fit in here. He is from Kentucky. He loves it here, he would rather be here than anywhere else. That is why he bought the house some 9 years ago. My mom says, "when you get older you will look back and think about the fun times you had on Kentucky Lake." I say, "what fun times?" I try to make the best of it everytime I come, it never works. I can only take so much tanning and watching movies. I miss going places with my friends, never knowing what I'm going to be doing once I wake up in the morning. Everyday is the same here: sleep as long as possible in order to take up a lot of time, eat breakfast, watch morning talk shows, take a shower, eat lunch, go lay out on the dock/swim/read, take a walk, eat dinner, watch a movie with mom, then watch tv until I fall asleep. I can't stand doing the same thing everyday. It drives me insane. There isn't any excitement.
I feel lost without my piano. When I am at home I play everyday for 2 hours or so. I think that may be why I'm never bored. I need to play music to stay sane, it's the only thing that keeps me going day after day. All I can do while I'm here is listen to piano music on my mp3 player, its not the same, it doesn't help me one bit. I miss it. I tell them I need a piano up here and they laugh. They simply say, "where would we put it?" well I don't know, but what I do know is that we have 4 couches for 3 people...that doesn't add up in my mind...maybe it does in their's???
Sorry this was so long, I've been trying to update but the computer/internet up here is crap. It usually only lets me stay on for close to 20 minutes then kicks me off. I can't even talk to anybody because I can't stay connected long enough...this place makes me depressed.. I think I just get homesick easily.
The only thing I am looking forward to my mom is taking me to Nashville to stay at Opry Land Hotel for two nights. I can't wait...unfortunately that's not until sometime next week.
