...or maybe its just me.
I should be writing my review of Chuck Palahniuk’s Haunted right now but I’m not. Why not? I don’t know…I’m just not. I got shit to say!
So, along with my road trip that I’m planning for next year, I’m also considering moving when I get off probation. I’m really thinking of going out West…I just haven’t made my mind up as to where. Most people are nudging me towards California. They seem to think I would really like it. I’m also contemplating Colorado and Hawaii, with a little bit of Washington mixed in. I really just think I need to get the fuck out of this state. The more stagnant I become the worse off I appear to be. I’m really thinking of just becoming nomadic for a bit. Moving to a new city every year. Then again I’ve also considered the possibility of, when I’m on my road trip, finding someplace and just settling there. Apparently when my parents were in some small town in Idaho a guy there told him he had done just that. Was being nomadic, just driving, came across the town and had been living there for 9 years. I really don’t see the point of working a shit job in one state, when I can easily find a shit job in every state. Incidentally this new line of thinking was broached by my mother. She was discussing a friend of hers from Texas whose son just got a job in D.C. she actually said to me that she didn’t expect me to still be living here. She had thought I would move. So what say you? Should I go west?
Here’s another reason why I want to move:
I posted this on face book yesterday and then made this comment: “According to Wiki...wonderful I know...but they say the estimates are based on American Community Survey. Atlanta is #12 in the country for gay population. Factor that into the cities actual population and its ranked #3. Factor overall state population and its ranked #8.”
In other words…I’m sick of being in the bible belt. When I told my parents tonight that I’m thinking of moving to California my dads response was, “Why? There’s nothing but a bunch of liberals out there.” Then he looked at my face and went back to dinner.
Up next on the agenda is swinging by KSU to pick up my transcript and then go by Reinhardt to see about getting in. Georgia State basically told me no. It looks like most of the colleges want me to go to a Tech school to get my grades back up before reapplying. In other words I had two classes left and they want me to go to a Tech school for a year before going to their college for another year. Two classes left, a semester, and they want me to spend two more years. I’m not really down with that. But I don’t see the hurt in asking Reinhardt. Who knows, if they let me in and miraculously only require me to take one semester, I can use the road trip as a graduation present. Then I will also have a degree in whatever town I decide to stop in.
I also posted this link yesterday written by one of my favorite local authors, Hollis Gillespie. http://wouldashoulda.com/2010/08/08/looks-like-kidnapping-is-now-legal-in-ohio/
If you’re a mother…it will drive you fucking insane.
I get my license back in two weeks from Wednesday. You have no idea how fucking happy this makes me. No idea. I am going to drive until I can’t drive anymore. Then I will hate my 7 hour trip to Orlando…followed by me enjoying my time in Orlando…followed by me hating my 7 hour trip back. But it will be worth it.
I also applied for a credit card today. For those who don’t know, the reason I want a credit card is so I can finish off my tattoos. Wonderful idea right? Here’s what I know…I’m tired of fucking waiting. I want them done. Some people get a flat screen TV with their credit card…I’m getting inked.
What else? Saw some pictures from my ex-girlfriends wedding today. The wedding was yesterday. Yay!! She just got married and I haven’t been on a date since we broke up. Something is seriously fucked up with that. I kind of wanted to punch a baby.
On a brighter note I sort of have two dates planned when I get my license back. Yet another reason why I cannot wait. Not to mention I want to spend more time in Atlanta. I used to hate the city…now I miss it.
I also got a slight crush on a girl. You would know her (most of you anyways) as coveredinbees. I just felt like letting that out there. Why do I keep getting crushes on girls that live across the country from me?
Anything else? No? Fuck…guess I should work on this review.
My advice, if you can afford to go, GO. I'm going stir crazy out here in Indiana and would kill to move back to CO myself. I'm making plans but when you add kids to the mix (step kids) and (worthless) daddy issues it becomes a whole new cluster fuck and you can't just pick up and leave. Responsibility sucks.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting your license back. I danced a fucking jig when I got mine off suspension. One and done with that whole fiasco.
Also, if you can, finish school. Having the degree will open many more doors. Doesn't even matter what field in my experience, just that you have the thing.
I'd say drop by Savannah on your way to Orlando or home but it looks like a bit of a detour. Also, by then I'll probably be doing training or entertaining my parents who want to come visit.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely you.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait until you get here! I'm getting shit planned out for some serious fun (drinking? Who said anything about drinking?!)
And coveredinbees?! YES!!! I fucking love her! Way to go, doll! How IS it that you get such smokin' hot ladies?
DO NOT get the stupid credit card! We've already discussed this...
With a name like "covered in bees" she's got to be an Eddie Izzard fan, yes? :-)
