Hide your face so the world will never find you
The holiday season is quickly approaching. I'm quite excited for Thanksgiving. Sixteen days until Thanksgiving Break if my teachers are nice, seventeen if they aren't! Anyway, I was just talking to my dear friend Anne P, and we were discussing how much fun a masquerade would be. By masquerade I really mean "costume party", unless we decide that costumes are too much work and that we should just wear formal attire and put on masks. It'll probably be the latter. However, I just found an old dress of Jayna's, which is light purple and stunning, not to mention it fits me perfectly, and it looks a lot like this:
That's right, Gaia from Captain Planet. All I would need is a cape. And darker skin and hair. And a Captain Planet. Any takers?
Poll Masquerade!
So I've been looking at colleges since August, and I can't seem to find one that fits me. I mean, I'm safe, because I'm at UK and I can stay here if I absolutely have to, but I don't think this is where I belong for many reasons. I think I need to get out of Lexington. Lexington's a fairly new city to me, and I don't mind living here at all, but I'm becoming too much of a homebody. Perhaps I'm also feeling a little wanderlusty. The average amount of time that I have lived in a place is 2.5 years. I'll hit the 2.5 mark here in Lexington somewhere around December 12. That's so strange to think about! Nah, it's not that I have a strong desire to move. I just think that part of the college experience is getting away from home. I would like to move to a big city, but as I don't want to get too far away from home my options are quite limited. Money limits me as well. Sigh. I'm looking at Hillsdale, which is in a tiny little town, but I think I could stand that because of how awesome that school is.
It's funny to me that I'd even dream of moving again when if I did it would be entirely of my own accord. Moving has been the number one cause of grief in my life, but because of the experiences I've had and the people I've met it has also been the greatest blessing. People often ask me if I get angry at my father for moving so much, but I couldn't be angry. I mean, had I never moved to Kansas City, I would never have met Missy. Had I not moved to Topeka, I wouldn't have met . . . everybody! What's great about my move from Topeka is that some of my friendships actually strengthened after my departure. I'm still blown away by this and I don't thank God enough for them.
