I'm going home!
Yes, 'tis true, I'm returning (ever so briefly) back to where I began. Two plane flights and a four hour drive will see me home for a total of three days before I zip back out of there. I'm so ridiculously excited. My friend is having her big 21st bash and it's going to be one of those good old-fashioned 'the entire district is invited' deals. What that, in turn, means is that I'll spend the entire night repeating the same 'what I'm doing with my life now' speech. Maybe I should make a PowerPoint...?
Anyway, what this basically means is that I'm losing yet another weekend of writing. Poor LC has been a bit abandoned in recent months, but it's always at the back of my mind, never fear.
Seriously, I'm like a wind up toy, I'm jittering about all over the place. Weirdly one of the biggest things I'm looking forward to is the smell. Dirt and sun and all things from my past are wrapped up in that smell, I miss it so much. Oh and the sky! I can't wait to have no concept of where the ground ends and the sky begins because they both seem to go on forever. Have you guessed? Yeah, Bridunna from SMtL and HSG is basically based on where I used to live.
Okay, yes, I'm aware that I'm romanticising it a bit. Honestly, it will probably take less than a minute for me to be annoyed by the small-mindedness, the suspicious 'why would you ever leave?' looks and the faint air of desperation that hangs over the farmers that are continually getting screwed by drought, but for now I don't care. I'm going home
