Oh my orange heart--how I've missed thee! It's amazing how just being in a different location can leave you completely at peace... BG makes my heart stop hurting. Even if I did eat Panera twice in 24 hours (you're lucky I didn't order the same thing, Mindmate ) If I didn't see you, I'm sorry--it's not because I was trying to not see you. I think I was literally in town for 24 hours. I will be back in a week, and you can see lots of me then! You can even see me on a Monday, doing what I do best (yessssssssz.) And to all you "Fat Pig"ers--so, so, SO great. And I don't mean that in a trite or uninformed way. It was really wonderful. Be proud and bitchy.
I'd really like to start traveling more. So this is a note to all you kids graduating (who I am friends with): if you want a new town roommate who is a friendly face, see this kid. I am a good pancake maker--that's my strongest selling point. They're durn good too--believe it.
I was planning on writing something meaningful here... but I'm too sarcastic and annoyed to do that right now.
Sorry for your luck, reader. I'll shoot for the stars next time.
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle. Step 2: Post the first line from the first 37 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly. Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
1. Yeah, it's officially the biggest midget in the game, I dunno 2. And when I see you, I really see you upside down 3. I'm writing you to catch you up on places I've been 4. This paint has been tasting of lead, and their chips will fall as they may 5. Beedle dee, deedle dee, dee! 6. Slow motion see me let go 7. Woke up and wished that I was dead 8. Please stay away till the end of the night, when nothing's on the run 9. Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high 10. Out of your personal scripture, philomel, she comes 11. What's the worst thing that could happen, we could change our minds 12. Saturday morning, alone and barely feeling 13. We were talking together, I said what's up with this weather 14. Qu'on leur donne de l'eau, et un peu de sel (<--That's right, FRENCH!!) 15. As of today you're far away but I've got news that's long overdue 16. I needed the shelter of someone's arms, and there you were 17. I sit and wait, does an angel contemplate my fate? 18. We stood so tall we caught a plane 19. So you say, all your white flags are up and that you've had enough and that you were tired of collecting dust 20. Lily comes when you start to call her, Lily runs when you look away 21. This won't be the last you'll hear from me it's just the start 22. Prom is coming up it's on the 17th of may 23. Won't you look up at the skyline at the mortar block and glass 24.

Our step mom we did everything to hate her she took us down to the edge of Decatur 31. Every once in awhile I get tangled up on my loose ends and I strangle myself on promises made to a friend 32. You and me, we used to be together, everyday together, always 33. This thing called love I just can't handle it 34. This ain't no place for losers or the innocent of mind 35. I sit and think about the day that you're gonna die 36. Comin home soon, I'm comin home baby 37. I wrote a letter on a nothing day
... Have fun with those! Eek gad, Harris is random.
The real world is real. And at some points, really scary. But this is not the focus of my entry.
My focus is on my afterwork activities. Mainly, Zumba. Yes that is a real word. It's an aerobic class. But it's more than aerobics--it's dancing. It's merengue, it's salsa, it's bellydancing. It's a lot of things rolled into one. It's something I didn't expect to be good at, and something I thought wouldn't be this hard. But it's challenging. And I love it. Yes, it's slightly embarrassing to shake your bum surrounded by scantily clad 50 year old women doing the same, but it's also pretty cool.
It's also very peaceful. The calm mixed with excitement that I feel during class has been missing for awhile in my life. It puts me in a zone where things are clear and simple and smooth and flow together easily. Who knew I could miss marching band? I think it's more than missing that... it's missing consistent physical activity. It's the mini thrill of competition.
I think I love dancing. And I think that in another life, I was a dancer.
Too bad these worlds are the same. And too bad I'm not a star, otherwise I think "Dancing With the Stars" would be the place for me.
I hope things are well with you, and that you have your very own zone that you can escape to every once in awhile.
Not that it's unexpected, but yesterday confirmed what a sap I am:
I cried the first 20 minutes of my drive away from Bowling Green. I even waved goodbye.
I think the part that scares me the most about this whole graduating early thing is that it's the first major life choice I've made completely by myself, so if it fails, there's no one else to blame or fall back on.
Not to say I'm going to fail... but in the event it should happen, it's all on me.
I'm starting to think that this is the definition of growing up.
All of my RA's are back in town, and it's definitely weird not being one of them. But I'm sure that they will have an amazing school year, because they are amazing people.
As will all of you reading this, because you, too, are amazing. :)
Take care of BG for me. And especially take care of Monday nights--I'd hate to think my weekly tradition should turn sour in my absence.
From now on, I'll send you postcards from the real world. Until next time...

I'll shoot for the stars next time.
