(no subject)
Wow so I had a completely exhilerating two months. I just spent the last eight weeks in the wilderness making traps to catch animals, eating shitty food, and falling into creeks during knee high creek crossings. It was an intensity of bullshit that I've ever been through in my life. At some points I felt like dying. Especially when I was caught in the middle of a storm when we are on fire ban (meaning no fires) and having to stay up having a fucking group about some kid who stole his brother's lighter. All of the kids there were heroine addicts or addicted to oxycontin, I was the only damn speed freak. I was also the only gay kid. Thank God I did not have any sort of physical attraction to any of them. Except one who is so cute because every time he laughs he kind of sticks his tounge out.
Anyway my parents won't let me come home still. So I was shipped from North Carolina to here in Boulder, Colorado. I'm living at AIM House which is a long term residential (no wilderness anymore thank god) with 20 other boys that have drug problems. Right now I'm under house restriction so I can't go out but after two weeks I'm allowed to venture into Boulder. Boulder is a pretty sick town. It has pretty much everything you could imagine. Its pretty wealthy even though theres a large amount of homeless people living about. Its kind of strange. I'm probably going to enroll into the University of Colorado here. The funny part is I'm living in this old sorority house. Its gigantic too. I haven't gotten my laptop (since I don't have the privelages) or my cell phone so theres limited contact. I really only have a half hour on this computer. I want to hear from everybody though! I'm going to be calling some folk later on. I can't wait to here the bostonions of my life. Everyone here is either western or southern. It was kind of a shock to run across someone who voted for Bush in the last election. I mentally slapped him.
The bad news is I'm probably going to live here for a couple of years. I will eventually visit home but my parents refuse to let me stay in the house. I'm going to live in this house for six months and then there is a step down house (more of a halfway house) afterwards. The step down house you basically live on your own and make up your own rules but you still have to give random drug tests. I have to give a breathaliser test every time I come home here. I'm required to attend AA/NA meetings every day for the next two weeks with a staff member. The young peoples meeting is pretty nice here. In Boston it consists of a bunch of 50 year olds. Probably 3/4 of the room at young people's meetings are 18-26 year olds since this is basically a college town. People tell me this is a giant partying town so I'll have a hard time abstaining. I guess thats why they put us on house restriction the first two weeks.
Well my time is pretty much up so I have to bounce. I'll be on and off from now on so leave me a message or email me at chromaticnight@hotmail.com. I'm going to have to sort through my email tomorrow which is going to be hell considering I haven't been on it in two months.
