Chicken
I am back In Oly.
I did not think I was going to miss Olympia (it's easy to have a love/hate relationship with it) but it was pleasantly surprising to be back.
Harold and I traveled to Portland, OR then to Ashland, WI, then to Columbus, OH, then to Syracuse NY, to Peabody MA, back to NY, back to OH, then to Chicago IL, back to WI and then back home.
Gas=Bitch
Traveling was eventful.
I got to see my sister and nephews. Eli got baptized and I am his (fairy) god-mother now. My father tried to be really serious with me about how this was a big responsibility for me....I've told my father I do not believe in his organized God numerous times in the past, so I just responded that I would not treat my nephew Eli any different than I already treat my neohew Tyler who is much older and not "Saved".... I also talked with my sister and Joe (Eli's father) and they reassured me that they are not forcing religion on my nephew...only making the grandparents happy (ie my father and Joe's mother)
I got to see Brittany. It had been over a year and it was great to see her. It seemed like I had just been hanging out with her the night before. I think that may be an indication to figuring out who your true friends are? Maybe not.
Brittany and P were reunited and P was nice about the whole thing, but Brittany is convinced P doesn't really like her and so she hangs out with Katie mostly I think.
I got to see Patrick and Ty and Charlie in chicago and Pat gave us his new CD It kicks ass and I am really glad to have gotten it. www.myspace.com/readbearperiod
and Ty gave us a letter he had written us and he really opened up to us! Which is great. He is teaching piano lessons to people right now.
I got to go to Comfest and see lots of people I love. Tea. Nicole. Noah. Garth. Julia. Stephanie. Paige. Jesi. Zoe. Etc. I did not get to see Carrie or Sam or Mason or John Also. Must have been a reason. I should make an effort to see them next time for this reason.
I got to hang out with a lot of HArold's old friends which was lovely. It feels good knowing that your boyfriend has good taste in friends. It reflects upon him. Beau was constantly making us delicious food (he is in chef college) Everyone greeted me with open arms.
Harold's mom, who I absolutely adore, let us kill one of her chickens. She has them for fresh eggs and one went menopausal and was pecking at the eggs and the other hens, so she said we could kill the bitch.
I had been wanting to kill a chicken because
1) I eat meat and if I cannot kill an animal, then I feel I shouldn't be eating meat and I feel like many people act like that process does not happen and they could not deal with actually killing something
2) I wanted to have that skill. I think it is important to learn how to live off of the land. Taking it back to real life.
so we killed a chicken and the killing process was horrible. We were holding the chicken down and literally felt it's last breathe. It took Harold and me a minute to let it all sink in - his mom on the other-hand was just like, "I guess you see it differently than I do"
We did everything. We hung it upside down. We pulled it's feathers and skin off. When we cut it open an egg yolk immidiately fell out of it and we found many more eggs stored up ie not the menopausal one! We saved the wings and are currently preserving them to make fans or art out of. It was a pretty little thing. I feel good that I have done this and I still eat meat. and eggs.
Coming back to Oly- I brought my cat, Sage, and I got to pick up my baby rats, Joplin and Gracie. The next day my parents flew into seattle with my neohew Tyler as a surprise. My mom had a broken foot and my dad had gout so bad he couldnt walk so my mom took him to the hospital the 2nd day he was here. they were both on vicadin and my dad didn't make it out of the house too much...but we did go to Mt Rainer. It was beautiful. We went to the Tacoma Glass museum. We went on an underground tour of Seattle. We went to the frye museum. There was this cool artists' work there who made thins out of melted vinyls and crushed up bones. It was crazy. We also gathered lots of sanddollars at a nearby beach. and ate out. lots. delicious! and mama gall made mac and cheese to last us a while. and she gave me a tv and a cuisineart coffee maker and a 7 person tent. Thanks!
Now i am in search of a job. I need to seriously think about what I am going to do about Cambridge Court = fuckheads.
I need to make better friends. I need to take some professional pictures. I need to upload photos on facebook. I need to go to the dentist. I need to write letters. Mail cards. Order new contacts.
I need a lot of things.
I need to go to bed.
Sweet Dreams.
