In Olympia.
It's so funny to be away from the internet, and to be in such an uncool place as Bellingham at the same time. I'm out of touch (and bragging about it). Kaden and I talk about shit all the time, but I'm not "up" on shit like I used to be when I spent hours on the internet all day. My life isn't different except I used to know what "was cool" but not particularly care, and now I just don't even know. I mean, it's cool that way! But it's funny.
Sonic Youth's new album IS their best album in years.
Have we ever gotten to go swimming on the 4th of July before? I think not. Molly and James came over to my parents' house, and we went out on the lake, drinking beers, stopping the boat (it's a funny flat-bottomed boat) out in the middle of Pattison Lake and swimming. A live band was playing bad country and classic rock covers. I backfloated with my ears under water listening to "Last Dance with Mary Jane" looking up at the round blue sky; it was very, very cool. Later the people across the lake put on a billion dollar fireworks display, and Cree & Kristina came over and we had a small recreational fire, where Cree & I talked about people in our pasts and all those weird vegan girls we used to know. I love everyone.
Last time I was here, I said, My Heart is in Olympia. But I up & took it with me when we went home to Bellingham, and I've loved Bellingham more & more ever since. I dragged my heart back along with me for this trip, and boy...there's no place like Thurston County. I think the trees are bigger out here. Or maybe we're just farther out of the city. I love living where I do in Bellingham; downtown & everything you could really need is within walking distance, but we live in a neighborhood with lots of trees & yards, still. We got Cabela's reclining lawn chairs for my birthday, and we sit out in them with our view of the bay at sunsets; it can't be beat. I have the firmness of love in my belly, and it is for both places. I would live in either one, with love. With love.
Kaden & I want to get married this summer, but I don't think we have time. But we want to get married in summer, so we'll have to wait til NEXT summer!
I finally went to the doctor last week, I have health insurance now, and they said "You have a lot of health concerns. You can either talk about your health concerns or have a pap smear." I chose the pap smear, but did get an inhaler to manage my asthma as well. The pap smear didn't hurt, but the doctor & nurse said I was just "being brave." But it really didn't hurt! I don't remember it ever being painful (that was only my 3rd one). Am I more relaxed than 99% of women or something????
My sister gets "Cosmopolitan". OMG funniest shit EVER!!!!!!!!
I miss reading all yalls live journals, and the blogs I used to read, and wardrobe_remix and stuff, but damn, I think not being on the internet has changed my life for the better SO MUCH. (although I do like Top 5s on Facebook a LOT). Plus, I don't know how ANYONE has time for tv and internet. I only work 6.5 hours a day now, and I still barely have time to do anything but jog & cook & clean & grocery shop & read.
My inner life has been exciting. I have been trying out this spiritual journey stuff, but I am trying SO HARD, it is silly; it is EASY, and trying so hard is self-defeating. It is the ego that tries hard, and the spirit is set free by ease. It's funny. But what can you do. (let it go & love freely!). Whenever you take a trip you start with a question & return either with an answer or having forgotten the question.
