just shy of forever

It has been ages since I wrote in here...hmmm, oh well.
Anyways, I live in WA now. I am no longer a MA resident. That's INSANE!!! So far I like it out here quite a lot. I certainly prefer the weather at the moment. I'm sure I'll miss the New England fall. I'm sorry but fall doesn't get any better then fall in MA. Hopefully fall out here won't be too bad. I really don't know what to expect. I can tell the trees are different out here. Over the last couple weeks the temp. does these crazy changes, going from ridiculously chilly to the 80's and back almost everyday. I was think about how if the weather started doing that in MA the trees would all be freaking out right about now trying to figure out if they should changes colors or if it was still summer. They'd probably all end up an ugly yellowish brown color and then give up trying and just drop their leaves. Hehehe...confused trees. The trees out here on the other hand are clearly used to this so they're still all green and summery. I wonder what it takes for them to start changing, and if they'll hit peak out here sooner than in MA. Well anyways, it's good to be by the ocean, I love getting to see it regularly. I do miss home though. It's always so wierd when I go away and then my parents pack up the house and move somewhere new. Someone how the move never seems real to me. It always ends up feeling like some kind of illusion. They did this last time we moved, and they're doing it again now. Of course this time it's not quite the same cause they're moving to they're place and I'm already in mine. This apt. is my home, at least for the next few years. I don't think I've really wrapped my head around that yet. It still doesn't feel like a real home, just more like a dorm feels when you live in one. Like it's yours and it's familiar, but it's not really home, you know? I guess I'll just have to give it time. I can not wait for classes to start, I'm really excited to get into the meat of my studies.
I really want to write a book. I think I finally figured out what I want to write too. It just feels like I've finaly found it, cause the thing is I didn't try to come up with this idea, it came to me. I was so busy trying and trying to brainstorm interesting book ideas and then one night falling asleep it just hit me. It was one of those things that had been sitting in front of my face for ages and I just hadn't noticed. So I figured this out probably about a month or so ago, yet I haven't done any writing yet. I find that a little anxious-making, but I'm trying to just go with the flow instead of push it. I figure since the idea developed over time and came to me I'll let it tell me when it's time to start writing. When I'm ready I think it'll just happen. I'd really love to get it written and published before I graduate, and that does give me some time. We shall see I suppose.
