Fifty-eight Days and Counting
of course the copy editor in me won't let me start a sentence with a numeral, and that of course applies to titles as well, even though i capitalize my titles and not my entries. but i keep trying to capitalize the first letter of my entries. maybe its like a drop cap. anyway. hello again. those of you who have not yet expired from the shock of seeing me update twice in 48 hours [numeral ok there because its in the middle of a sentence and its over nine (numeral not ok there because it's under 10)] ok so im a geek. but if you didnt know that already then youd better learn fast. im just hoping tonight there's more than one person in the world that could love that about me. im afraid to say it but i think i might be in need of him sometime sooner than i would like. this is all so hard, and i dont think ill ever be able to explain it to anyone because i dont think it will ever make sense to me. i just hope we dont screw this whole thing up. it's just too beautiful, and if you know anything about me, including the fact that im a geek, then you know how shaken i am when beautiful things are destroyed.
so instead im going to ignore it for right now, which is the only way i can stay sane and give the impression that everything is going in a hunky-dory sort of way. which it is for the most part. thinking just makes me seem like im less happy than i actually am.
but anyway, the real reason for all this madness (notice i'm here referring to THIS madness not ALL madness or even ALL MY madness). the whole 58 days thing [see above note for numeral rule], no, it's not about how long im planning to take going around the world, and its not the amount of time im waiting for the paint to dry, and its not the number of days our dorm room has been in habited my lady bugs. that would be more like 158 days. no, 58 is the number of days until i leave for yet another travelling journey. one that will involve stamps in passports and foreign languages and weird public transit in other countries. i am going to london. and im very excited about that. what's more exciting is that im taking a day trip to paris while im on that side of the pond. and the thing that makes this so interesting is that im going with someone i met less than 8 months ago and someone ive never met. this seems a little crazy to me, but im hoping it will be awesome. no, i know it will be awesome. so i guess the challenge now is deciding what to see and do and remember about everything. and then remembering that i have a life and class and a job and a family on this side of the pond. hm, the plot thickens.
but such is life. a life stew that thickens all the time. one of these days i think my life stew is going to become a life paste, then maybe a life concrete in the end. but i really dont mind. anyway, that is all for tonight. maybe more to come later. maybe nothing more until the paste stage. who knows. until then, peace.
