Hello from middle America
I just wanted to write and say "hi" to all my faithful blog readers, which I assume number about one after not posting for the last two weeks.
I really apologize. I don't like the thought of people checking for posts and then being disappointed when there is nothing there. Of course, I am probably flattering myself far too much by thinking that people are really going to be saddened by the lack of pdates. But hey, a boy can dream, right?
Anyway, a combination of laziness, slow internet connections, and a constant stream of activity have prevented me from posting. Oh, and having to share a computer with J1 and S4. Hahahahaha.
Currently, I am at my parents' house in Michigan. (Hence the subject line -- I really am in middle America. You know, the place where it's really flat, there are a lot of trees, you pass trucks
carrying large John Deere farm equipment, and people dress really poorly.) I got here this afternoon.
While I would like to give more details, I will have to be content for now to give a brief overview.
My time in California was great, for the most part. It was pretty much an endless orgy of eating and shopping, which suits me pretty well. I bought a ton of cool stuff, including a bunch of vintage stuff from thrift stores and three new pairs of jeans. Since I lost a ton of weight after J1 and I got together, all my old jeans were falling off me. Now, I have jeans I actually feel good about wearing.
Highlights of the trip included spending time with my dear, departed-from-New-York friend Jammie and getting to hang out with many of J1's friends, such as the lovely Rae, Irene, Maggie, and Ryan. Oh, did I just include Ryan on the list of lovely people? Yes, yes, I did. Because, you see my dear readers, we are talking about internal beauty, not external glitz. We also had a nice time with J1's immediate and extended family.
J1 and I also had an awesome time at the Hollywood Bowl seeing a concert. I think it was my favorite date we've ever been on.
Of course, there were some sad and stressful parts to the trip, but I'd rather not dwell on that here. Suffice to say that we got through it all just fine. What did the Beatles say? "I get by with a little help from my friends."
Someday, when I return to civilization and a reasonable interweb connection, I will post pictures of all the awesomeness.
Tuesday night, I took the red eye to Detroit. Some friends of mine picked me up at the airport and I got to see them for the first time in a year and a half. That was very nice -- it is good to
catch up with old friends, ya know?
Eventually, I made it back home. My sister is also home, and she brought her new boyfriend. Should be an interesting few days is all I can say.
Ok, apparently my sister wants to sleep, so I have to go. I will talk to you all soon, I hope.
