It's been a while...
So I'm on the tail end of another wonderful summer. I worked as a props artisan at Utah Shakes again and had a lovely time just like last year. If was different than last year, but not in a bad way. The season wasn't crawling with awesome projects, but I got some portfolio stuff out of it I think. And I learned things as always. Went on some awesome hikes, spent time with friends, played with kittens on a regular basis (our shop cat had three babies - Hatch, Titus, and Widget), went to my first real concert (Flogging Molly, yaaay), went to Salt Lake City (the lake is naaaaasty), went to Lake Powell (Pretty but hot. as. balls.), explored some caves, honked at a cow in the road, went camping, rode a horse, went to a fair, climbed a waterfall, watched cowboys rope cows, stood on the edge of everything with my arms spread wide, got wasted in Vegas, watched a demolition derby, saw a real live beauty pageant, got picked up (literally off the ground) by a guy in a biker gang, saw some great theater, saw a real ghost town, got another tattoo, got better acquainted with a jolly little fellow named Bob, and worked a job I love all the while. And I had Ryan the whole time. Waking up next to him everyday was bliss. I love him deeply and I'm sad I won't get to see him again until November, but the point is I will see him again so I'm a lucky girl. I could say so much about him and this summer, but I'm still wrapping my head around it. Just love him.
I'm road tripping back to Athens right now. Aside from my butt falling asleep and the fact that my air conditioning cuts my gas mileage in half, I really like the road. I like seeing the country change and finding hotels. It's really a beautiful experience. I'm hoarse from all the singing. I feel a calmness and contentment I didn't expect to as I drive back to school. I'm in Cave City, KY (hehe) right now. Tomorrow I'm getting up early to go on a tour of Mammoth Caves, something I've wanted to do for years. Its liberating and exciting to finally be doing something I've been wanting to. It's a good start to my final year. Sets a good tone. Then its on to Athens to start my final year of school ever. I don't know what I'll do after. Perhaps I'll go on tour. I don't think I ever would have thought of that as an option if I hadn't met Ryan, I probably would have just found a job, settled somewhere and sat around wishing I could travel more. But now that it's in my head, I'll keep it alive as an option. I've spent the last 7 years waiting to be able to travel, so it makes sense. Hell if I know really...
There's a creepy picture of a bee stuck inside a flower in my hotel room. I don't know why it's creepy, but it is and I'm afraid I'll have bug dreams tonight.
Watching tv right now, and I hate Charmin commercials. Bears pooping, then making that satisfied just took a dump face, then, oh no, the off-brand tp left fuzzies on me bum! Gross.
I've been out of the shower for 2 hours and my hair is still wet. Humidity can go to hell. I miss Utah, my hair dried in five minutes.
I'm not terribly eloquent tonight. I should probably go to bed.
Love you cute boy.
