At the library again. Today has been nice. Got off at around 10 and have been wandering around town ever since. So unbelievably cold. In Fraser, where I am now, it was -45 this morn. Only -35 at the lodge. ONLY. I decided to avoid the mountain today for fear of losing my toes and fingers. Found an interesting looking book while waiting for ( Read more... )

At the library in town b/c laptop is not doing so well. Yesterday was my third day on the mountain. Skiing is so much fun. It really isn't a very diversified sport though. Seems like everything here is white. Took a really nasty spill where skis and poles went everywhere. Surprised I didn't get hurt. The job is painful at times, but I am ( Read more... )

So I am in Winter Park. I can't help but let out an excited little "Snow!" every time I look out the window, child-like grin plastered on my face. And then I watch everyone give me that "Yeah, so?" look. But I am excited about it. And it is like a wonderland for me. Part of the reason I am happy right now is B/C everything is so new and ( Read more... )

At a rest stop in TX with wireless. Love the modern world. Just stopped to get directions. Moving on. Colorado Springs by tonight.

So I'm sitting on the floor of my empty apartment. My computer the only thing left. And I wonder what the hell I'm doing. With myself, with the others around me, with anyone I come into contact with. Again I'm leaving and I didn't mean for it to happen but I've become attached to a very wonderful boy that I will miss. Its something that I ( Read more... )

Jeez, has it really been so long since I've typed? Crazy things. Got a job at a little ski lodge in Colorado. Starts Dec 1st. Am I insane? What is wrong with me? I think it sounds like tons of fun though. I need to get some warm stuff. Feel bad about quitting the new coffee shop job so soon. I do really like it. Feeling completely and ( Read more... )

Drove back into MS, stayed at mom's one night before moving into the new place. I love it. Upstairs(it is one out of four apartments in our building), wood floors, an awesome little screened in porch(onto which I have already hung a swing chair). Lots and lots of room. Already hung many a poster onto the wall. Yesterday began my half hearted ( Read more... )

In a coffee shop, in Austin. Wireless is a wonderful thing. In 30 minutes we'll be watching Rachel Yamagata, then Rilo Kiley, then Arcade Fire, the Decemberists, Franz Ferdinand and Coldplay. Pretty excited about today. So glad that the hurricane decided to spare Austin, although a little rain would have been great in the 101 degree weather. ( Read more... )

Finally(and sadly) made it out of the Tetons yesterday. Stayed with Kristin last night. Now I'm in Ft. Collins looking desperately for the Fat Tire Brewery. Then to Denver. Love the road! And freedom! Yippee!

Last day of work. Really this time. Feels good to know I won't be folding t-shirts anymore(ever again if I have any say in it). Yea for Mexican Independence day! The tequila last night made me forget to set my alarm properly. Woke up to the tiny sound of crumpling paper in an empty room. Turned my light on just in time to see a mouse on L.A.' ( Read more... )
