a long overdue but ultimately short script version of my life and now
So I am not over in London yet like I had hoped and imagined I would be. But the time I feel is fast approaching. It all rest on my acceptance to Sotheby's I guess. I fly over there the 22nd of this month and come back the 26th so that will give me a good 3 full days of the city i am to call home. The reason for the trip will be an interview with the school which I am taking as a good sign that they didnt just reject me outright upon reciet of my application. I plan on going out hard that Sat. night while in the city sleeping all of sunday and then my interview is that Monday. It will be wierd traveling to such an imense destination by myself but think it will also be a good way to get me into the feel of truly being by myself for a little while. I just cant wait to see my porcelain boys with accents surrounding me. Maybe that is hoping for a little much but a boys got to dream. Im going to try and keep my bank account away from most of the city (the stores and whatnot) for now and prove to my parents that I wont go apeshit once I move there. Also I am taking it as a good sign that the school has already sent me their secret list of available housing and sublets for me to consider while I am visiting... as in looking at some of the areas they are in.
Life in SC has been a mixed array of pleasure and pain. Suprisingly my parents and I have been getting along very well.. more so than expected. They get home after work and we all have a drink to lighten the mood.. eat some dinner and then either watch some TV together or play some sort of game.. and while that might sound lame to some it keeps my mind busy and happy. During the day I just sit around or sleep and play with the dogs. But I have also gotten into the habit of taking day trips to Wimington NC and Savannah GA both of which are about 3 hours away from where I live. All I do while there though is grab some coffee and people watch. I have slightly varied this with respect to Sav. Me and Stephen and some of his/our friends went there for St. Patricks day and I finally got to go out in the city. That night was fun but for the most part uneventful. I ended up going back however with another friend and met some guys at a bar down there. They all went to SCAD and so finally gave me the oppurtunity to talk to some gay guys about art and have that be the main part of conversation rather than music and fashion. I still love talking about fashion and music because they are both a pretty big part of my life or rather interests right now. But it was nice being able to talk to guys at length about photographers and aritist and different things of the life. So I have become pretty decent friends with two of them and have gone down the past 2 weekends to hang out with them and stay the night. Its funny that friendships can actually form at bars rather than just hookups or something similar.
I am going to try and make it back to athens within the coming weeks to see people. I just need to figure out the best time for me to do it and for those that I wish to see. Im also hoping to take a road trip before I leave the states out to Arizona to see Melissa who I miss imensely even though I never call her. That is really something I need to work on so that I dont loose touch with those that I care about even if I dont show it well. So that will be a fun road trip if I can arrange it. And I still might try and make it down to Miami to see Caroline and stop by and see Andrea but that will depend on a number of other things. All will come in time. I do miss athens something awful however. I hate reading peoples away messages and not having a clue what the inside joke is or seeing that they are going to like the winery on a Tues night or the like. But I keep telling myself that this is all part of that moving on thing people talk about and reminding myself of what lies ahead for me. My dreams might be grander than the reality to come but they give me something to strive for and I truly believe I would be happy in a hole in a wall as long as I have that culture and stimulation. Anyway though I should get some stuff done around the house...
love and miss everyone more than they know
