Nice.
It's nice to feel better again. Sometimes all we need is a little breakdown to make ourselves feel better. After all, we're only human. And we can't expect to carry our own burdens as well as other people's. We'd all go a little batty.
Anyways. In better news...
I just found the travel blog I started (read: made an introductory post in) last summer. I can't believe I forgot about it! I feel bad. Poor little bloggie. All abandoned and forgotten.
But not anymore! I spruced him up with a new layout and a new entry. Well... sort-of new. I actually wrote an entry about Florida last summer (June 2009!), and saved it as a draft. And... the trip was in December (2008!).
But that's besides the point! I'm going to be writing in a grown-up style fancy blog about going places. This is a good time to try again at it, I think, since I plan on going to lots of nice places with my lovely boyfriend this summer. These places are (maybe):
- British Columbia (and all the Canadian provinces that we will drive through along the way)
- Northern California ; potentially included in our drive home from B.C. It would be a dreeeeam.
- Chicago (to visit my friend Brad and his lovely wife Cassie)
- Florida (again.); hopefully there isn't too much oil washing up on their shores when we arrive. Boo.
- Quebec. We already went to Montreal at the beginning of May, and it was wonderful. I want to live there.
- Barbados (again?); but this will probably only be if we don't end up going to any of the previously-mentioned places.
- Texas, maybe with my dad. I would love to go to Texas. Hot weather, hot food, and hot... uh. Sand? ;;>.>
I even made another Twitter account to link to the blog, so I can tweet about updates and other silly things to my tiny number of followers. And I could connect that to a Twitpic account so I can upload pictures of amazing things we find along the way! And I could get internet on my phone and then upload on the go! And I could maybe connect it with my hemp jewelery website and get more traffic!
Holy fuck. Look at me go! I'm all growed-up and embracing technology and realizing its potential to share and connect so many things and people!!!!
Fuck! I feel like someone's 45-year-old mom who just figured out what Facebook is and how to use it. Ugh.
For the longest time I didn't want to get involved with things like blogs, Facebook, or Twitter. Frig, I ignored Facebook invites for a good few months until I finally caved and said FINE. I will join the masses and make yet another profile of myself so people who already know me can once again get a nice summary of who I am (since I don't friend strangers; that shit is sketchy). And twittering? Tweeting? It all seemed so pointless and silly. Who has enough things to talk about that they need to tell people every 3 minutes? (Penny Arcade summed it up nicely a while back. Give me a while to find the comic. Found it!)
But yet... what is the internet but an enormous connective device? There is so much cool shit to see, know, and discover in this world. It's probably impossible to even experience half of what's out there. And yet I've decided that I would much rather try to experience as much as possible instead of not even trying. Why wouldn't I? Life is fucking awesome, and I want to share it with people who maybe don't know how to live like they wish they could. Maybe I can inspire someone. Pass on an idea. Share a laugh...! Why the hell not?!
Of course one has to remember to keep their real-life encounters as rich and fantastic as the ones they experience through a glowing rectangle. That, I suppose, is the challenge. Having a car is a huge step towards being able to maintain my friendships IRL. Freedom to travel wherever... is pretty great. If only the cool parts of the world were simply a drive away. Hey, let's go to Italy! Iceland! New Zealand!
Fuck yeah. Let's do it! All of it. And love every minute of it!
