long distance
Well, I made it to North Carolina in one piece, although that one piece is very tired and sore and just plain jetlagged. We went straight to my dad's house from the airport, then to see my grandparents, then to my step-aunt's house. Now I am officially crashing and burning.
It's really odd to be back here. Everyone is a little older, but virtually nothing has changed. I am so different than I was even a year and a half ago, and I suppose even simply spending that much time away can objectify anything. All the faces are happy and familiar and that's wonderful. They are the only reason I come back. I know all of the streets in this town like they were extensions of me... but that doesn't make it home.
