so tomorrow morning i'm off to drive to colorado for the summer.
i've been thinking about it for a while, and i don't know which will be worse: leaving to go out there, or after a summer of beauty leaving there to come back here.
actually, that was a stupid question. leaving here will be hardest.
my 20th birthday came and went, starting at midnight at a sockhop and continuing with an impromptu road trip (i take back all the times i said you weren't spontaneous) to a beautiful state park (you'll DO this sort of thing with me? what a fucking keeper) and then enjoying katherine's lovely treat and chocolate cake at my first drive-in theater experience.
i'm really nervous about this summer. i've barely taken 2 years of classes and now i'm to put what i've "learned" into practice already? this is insane, i hope i can keep up. i'm even more nervous about driving the 1700 miles out to colorado, so i was pretty excited when my mom volunteered to drive with me, then tool around in rocky mountain national park by herself and the areas she used to live for a few days and fly back.
however, driving home by myself is going to be an adventure. hello sleeping in walmart parking lots.
i can't wait to see amanda and jule this summer- what a fucking blast. i have no clue what we'll do, considering crestone is the nearest town (
http://www.crestonecolorado.com/guide.htm). (ooh. a ziggurat. and stone huts. this spells b-l-a-s-t.) i'm sure with a little bit of alcohol and imported chocolate we can amuse ourselves.
regardless, i'm out for the summer. i'll have my cell phone and email access, so please god. if you fancy real live tangible mail, send me your address.
