(no subject)
I have not been participating in the normal, every day to day life as has been my habit since I arrived here. I needed some time alone, I think, to work through several things that have been bothering me lately.
But today was sort of unofficially set aside as my day to get back in touch with this newer life. I spent most of the day driving aimlessly, and then wandering through the large produce market we know of. I bought several things, and ended up making stir fry. I am getting better at cooking, and I usually end up practicing a good deal. I still doubt my fare is completely appetizing, however. -slight smile-
I also spent several hours in the bookstore, Barnes and Noble. I had not realized how wide a selection of books there can be. I ended up buying two poetry books. I seem to find myself drawn more to the Romantic period than anything else, mostly because of their fascination with Nature. It is something I can easily relate to.
Though it is still odd to use a different body than my own to do so, and a female body at that, I enjoy the freedom of such days, wandering around where no one knows who I am, and that I am not who I appear to be on the outside.
I have been here six months now, and it does not seem nearly so long.
