Okay here's that entry I mentioned the other day that I wanted to make.
As you guys know by now, Ericka's gonna be in Europe for six and a half weeks this summer. That'll be the longest we've been apart since I moved to California. Now I know some of you are gonna be like OMG WUT R U GONNA DO R U GONNA BE OK ULL BE SO LONELY. Pssh. I'll be fine.
It's true, I could allow myself to get bored and depressed and end up not doing anything at all--I've been known to be self loathing like that. I decided, however, that that's retarded. See, Ericka's getting one hell of a traveling experience that she's been really needing, and this is the right time for her. While she's gone, I've decided that while I can't do something as awesome as go to Europe, I CAN do things/go places for myself too. There's no reason to sit here with a thumb up my ass when I could be doing something.
Basically what I'm getting at is that I'm gonna go on a trip or two while she's gone too. I was invited by an internet friend I've had for 10 or so years to come visit in Portland. That sounds like a hell of an idea, especially when I realized I have a ton of friends in the Portland area. I've never been there and have always wanted to. The only problem with that is the cost--flights, for some reason, are over 200 bucks. So we'll see. I'm also considering a road trip. I've never been to San Francisco, and think that could be a lot of fun. Going to a park like Yosemite or Sequoia would be awesome too. And Las Vegas is always a hell of a time. This is one of the negatives about being on the west coast--there's a limited number of road trip options since everything's so spread out. But I'm 100% open to suggestions. ESPECIALLY if someone would like to tag along. That would make it even MORE fun.
Would anybody be interested in going to any of these places for a weekend or couple days this summer (or anywhere else, like I said I'm open to suggestions)? Get away from life and do something different and not worry about shit? I'd do the lion share of the driving because, well, I like driving long distances. I'm just looking forward to doing something, and think it'd be nice to share it with someone.
