It's just after midnight here on the east coast. I've returned to our hotel room and am relaxing as my pictures upload to Flickr and am trying to process my day. Really...really trying to process it. Oh my goodness. My day started later than usual (thank you, 5:45 shift!) so I was able to get … Continue reading Enter the Dragon*Con
We all piled into Brad's van and left town by 10:00 PM on Wednesday. It was a record, us all getting organized and mobile so quickly. We made a short stop at Quiktrip for last-minute rations and headed out. The road to Atlanta was probably filled with good times...due to my Dramamine, I passed out … Continue reading Arriving at Dragon*Con
I have missed this feeling. The excitement of the near future and the open road. The unknown of a new city and some mysterious event. I even enjoyed packing.When I went into my closet to start getting prepared, I had to fight not to reach for the backpack that was my home for so long. … Continue reading Eastbound and Down
I miss the open road more than I expected to. Granted, my move to a more happening part of town has helped me feel more like a part of something bigger, but that sense of newness and arrival has been woefully lacking as of late. When I found out my friend's band was playing in … Continue reading Road Trip to Fayetteville
Yesterday was a big day for me. It was the day I decided to work at undoing the damage I've done to myself in the last five months.In the dozen countries I traveled to, every day was an adventure. I walked to new places every day and experienced the world on my own two feet. … Continue reading Having to Work at It
Throughout the majority of my adult life, I've been known for my patience and easy-going demeanor. I smile easily and often and am always happy to talk to my friends. I listen when people have problems and offer advice if it is needed. I have noticed in the last few months that I am having … Continue reading Rage
One thing I’ve noticed since being home is my tendency to be tired more often. At first I likened it to ‘having’ to be awake via an alarm rather than just waking up on my own…and I do think that has SOMETHING to do with it…but as I examine how my life has changed and … Continue reading Tired
Alright, I’m tired of this. Someone(s) on the internet is wrong!There’s an online twitter/Facebook/Blog broadcast going out that yesterday was the day that Marty traveled into the future. It’s totally inaccurate. In BTTF II, Marty Doc and Jennifer traveled to Oct 21st, 2015 in order to prevent Marty’s son from getting in deep with Griff … Continue reading Back to the Future Timeline
Among many things I have missed from being on the open road and in unfamiliar territory, the thing I have missed the most is being able to walk outside the door to my flat or room and be greeted with instant civilization. Since I came home, I have been living in my old house out … Continue reading ‘Out of Town’ to Midtown
Food is important in my life. I have met people that eat tiny portions and only when they absolutely have to; I cannot relate to these people. I love to eat. Not only that, but I love to eat food that is BAD for me. I also tend to eat faster than I should, which … Continue reading An American Food Travesty
