Soy el ovino negro de mi familia
(Black sheep of the family = me.)
Having to wait for my parents and brother to be ready, or to choose a place to eat, or to get over the latest tiff that so often occurs intrafamilially, is to say the least irritating. I happen to be ravenous right now and cannot leave the hotel room because my mom is not ready to go (again). I also cannot leave the hotel and explore the city of Portland without someone accompanying me. I'm freaking twenty years old! And we miss so much by car...Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance ftw, even though I realized that before I even began the book.
In other news, I visited my future home - Powell's Books on Burnside here in Portland. I want to live there. LIVE THERE, I SAY. I would find a broom closet and rig it up so it can have a mini-fridge and coffee pot and a little futon or something. Or I could sleep upon boxes covered with a towel. FOUR FLOORS OF BOOKS - over 3 shelves of books on mythology! Old and new books galore - oh mein gott. I walked out with four and wouldn't mind spending the whole of today there. But THAT won't happen...
Thought for the day: what are you so afraid of? What keeps you from taking the big plunge into something new and never before experienced? If you can't think of anything, good for you, but I strongly suspect that you're lying.
Aufwedersehen.
