I want to like Michigan. Unfortunately, I'm really getting homesick for gays and glitter and Birkenstocks and being dirty and caring about something more than oneself. It's so vanilla here. I need to get out and see something that'll make me happy again. Bugger. I want to be on the Clearwater or at the Northwest Wooden Boat Building School.

Oh. I never really knew any of my relatives that've died, so I wouldn't even know what to say. (They're all in the CZ, and I'm here.)

MySpace=pr0n ring. Specifically, full of 13 y.o. kids pretending to be 18 to hook up with 53 y.o. adults pretending to be 21. *shudders*

And yeah...all the other places I've been for longer than a month have grown on me. Michigan...not so much yet. It definitely lacks some sort of spice that I'm used to, possibly because everybody's just...too nice? I think Michiganders are now my test study subjects. I will continue observing them, and hopefully will come to some useful conclusion in the near future, in aid of human kind. And will continue trying to find somebunny who wants to take me to Traverse City.

yeah, michigan is an interesting place. i think i probably have a slightly different view of it since i grew up there, and i could imagine that on the surface its pretty dull. actually, it is pretty bland, but it's a really pretty place to be in the summer, all green and nice. and there are things to do, you just have to look hard. but you're probably getting a sense of why i've never considered myself a midwesterner, dispite the fact that i've spent the majority of my life there

[pensivebrooding]

Hmm, yeah. It seems a lot like Vermont - sheltered, filled with loveable hicks and corn fields, the love of bonfires; yet the whole 'nice' thing is just wicked odd. Or maybe it's just more-sheltered-than-even-me that comes out as 'nice'? Have you spent any time out in the boonies of Vermont? I'd be interested to know what you think of it if you have. And by boonies I mean not-Stowe or Chittenden County.

eeeexcelent. *tents fingers*

i've only ever been to burlington, and only for a few days at that. what is it about the 'nice' thing that's so weird? i don't really know what it is since i've was immersed in it for so long, and then moved to chicago, where i'm pretty sure it doesn't apply. and i'd also be willing to bet people in the midwest are more sheltered. not only is there the normal (?) massive amount of sheltering, but since the midwest is so far from either of the coasts, their cultural influences take years to make it inland, if they make it at all. there's always a good three or four year delay on things like fashion in the midwest. plus midwesterners don't know how to dress anyway. hell, people are more fashion-savvy here than michigan, and i'm in fucking utah! and people are also hella lazy. they'll drive their big-ass suv down the hallway to their make a sandwich and then drive it back to their la-z-boy. and exercise? yeah right. people aren't too health-conscious in general in the midwest. probably not enough hippies. i'm already in

I know how you feel - I miss people who seem strong enough to change the world. People here have ideas, but I can't see them implementing them.

[pensivebrooding]

clicky. I realllly wish I could go on this.

[zie_verse]

Yeah, I can see that. The Galapagos. New Zealand. Dude. But, personally, not on a yacht.

I've been missing her for awhile now.

I totally understand that statement. I think the last time I really felt my grandmother there was in March 2003, and after that, she just faded away until she finally died in January.
