On the stereo, listen as we go, nothing's gonna stop me now.

Why do I want to live in the city so badly?  Because I hate this feeling of entrapment that comes with the suburbs.  Living in Columbia for the past 9 months has been great because I can WALK to do things.  I'm at my own mercy.  I don't have to depend on a car.  Things are right at my fingertips.  I was my own person.  I was free to do what I wanted, when I wanted it.  It's like last summer when I roadtripped to SC by myself.  It was so strange because every thing I did like eat, take a detour, change the radio station, was because I wanted to.  I made every decision.  It was weird then, but it's so commonplace now.  Except now I'm back home, and can't do that anymore.  Anyhow, I don't think it's the city so much that matters, but the convenience that I like.  That I can hop on a metro, or walk a few blocks, and do whatever I want.  Sounds like perfection.  Someday, maybe?

Last night I had a little taste of that life.  Drove to senior showcase, got in for free since I offered to serve desserts at intermission (a piece of cake- pun intended).  Saw tons of people that I've missed and love.  It was almost like a girls night, too, at our table.  I felt beloved and hot because of all my guy friends that I miss so much.  It was just fab.  Then SJ and I went to Starbucks, had some great conversation.  Then Kruyne texted me and we hung out until like 2:30, just driving around the county, investigating sinkholes and the Wendy's drivethru, then watching Bourne Supremacy.  It felt like a college night...but better because it was a Monday.  Haha.
