indeed, the rumors are true. i have indeed moved back to cleveland, oh. the mistake on the lake of the heart of it all (and yes steev, i did say that with the intention of being affectionate. i'm not hating on cleveland this time.) and all in all it's been an odd transition. i'm back in suburban life. which requires driving. which i have recently learned i have a horrifying fear of. that explains why i always avoided driving in nashville and chicago. and i don't really have any long time close friends still living here. most of them moved. so its been me and the mom and the pops. and no one has killed anyone yet. its been almost down right amicable. probably because i sit in my room and read or watch movies. alot. a little too much. sometimes when my mind starts to feel like its melting, i go to the library. or the caribou coffee shop down the street (i tried the locally owned one next to king wah's but i'm almost positive its some kind of front. and they served me the grossest latte of my life. so chain coffee it is for now. sorry). sometimes my parents invite me along on their "hey we're retired now" adventures. we go and look at houses out in the sticks alot. and they ask my opinion. and i usually say something along the lines of, "its a house out in the middle of nowhere, so i'm against it". then they make a face at me. then i remind them that they asked my opinion. and rinse and repeat.

this will all change this week i think. because i have a job now. working as a waitress (tres tres glam). it's at a wine and martini bar in soccor mom heaven. think of all the hilarity that can ensue. i most certainly am. so let's hope that the whole job thing will bring in some new adventures. perhaps it will help me erradicate my fear of driving.

oh, and i got into one grad school for library science. so i will go to grad school. assuming the financing works out. woot!
