Willya lookee that, I have a journal header after ... what, four months of subscription? Yeah, I'm slow.
SLOWLY BUT SURELY CATCHING UP. You guys and your delicious pikshurs.
Let's see, what's exciting? :9 I worked most of the summer away at a Halo Burger, where apparently drunk Kansas men roll in to tell us "I CAME ALL THE WAY FROM KANSAS FOR THE BEST HALO BARGER IN AMEERIKA."
It's sad, though - normally we take a few fun trips over the summer or attempt to incorporate a FRACTION of good fun into it, but this year I was working and my little brother was in summer school, so we really couldn't do -anything-. Though I get to go to Chicago on the magic train for 5 days very soon, which I am wholly excited about. :9 I had so much fun last time, but it was pretty much only 2 days and ... something about cities makes time propel forward at a rather terrifying speed. >> HERE IN QUINTESSENTIAL SUBURBIA life is so contrastingly slow, and you feel the difference even after a short trip.
Funny, though, I've always really wanted to experience city life for a few years when I'm a little older (or possibly when I'm in school
), but the other day, we had the most fucking gorgeous night where you could see the entire sky and the moon was one of those gorgeous golden slivers that are so difficult to turn away from that I had to chase it down in my car... and I wonder just how much I might miss this sweet little suburbia in all its shitty suburbanite glory. I mean, I love this place. I know it's because I grew up here and I'm a sentimental retard, but I wonder how it might feel to come back to the vast vacuum of a sky after living elsewhere.
And I've grown up in a slow-paced, gas-guzzling-car-dependent way of life and lived it for eighteen years. Would it be too hard to adapt?Somehow it seems if I stay here forever I'm somehow destined for eternal mediocrity or something, and that scares me a little though I would be otherwise.
...Ironic to hear we been in this town so long we might as well be dead right now, must say. I have no idea why I wrote that. Stream of consciousness. lawlz.

Emotional 
but after being in the city, big cities, there is still a ways to go. this summer has been a massive trip summer. first the AX in anaheim, and then several trips down to long beach where my sister's moving. the traffic is INSANE. that's the only thing i don't like about big metro areas.
heeh. i felt like i was reading some sort of memoir. you should paint the moon. :]
ah, the note for the deck was just a reminder. i'll send out more reminders later because it took so long to finalize the list, that w/my computer still dead and all the trips. i look forward to it so much, all the entries.
I love big cities, though. So goddamned much. But yeah, traffic IS insane. I just got back from Chicago and ... god, even watching the traffic congestion and insanity there is mortally terrifying, lol (CAB RIDES MADE ME CRY
And okay~
And then the older I get and the closer to college I get, the more I keep thinking staying wouldn't be so bad. And at the same time, there's still that part of me that wants to get out because I can't stand it here. (Really, I kinda feel like the Sugarland song "Fly Away," only I want to go from somewhere small but insanely crowded to somewhere still kinda small but scarcely populated.) Maybe it's the curse of suburban America?
At any rate, have fun in Chicago. Hopefully it's cooler there than it is here.
But thank you so much.
I go away to school in a pretty big city, and the tall buildings still amaze me XD I'd be walking on the side walk, and I'd only be looking up instead of looking where I'm going (lol)
<3
but yeah... I'm kinda excited to go back next year because it's such a different experience <3
Thank you so much for stopping by to leave a comment, I really do appreciate people who don't just lurk. It's nice to see.
I live IN a city, but in the suburb part of it, and the car-dependence really does suck, especially if I don't HAVE a car of my own. Gotta rely on my boy and my dad to drive me around, though there's been talk of getting a second car at home so I can drive more often. Especially since dad is protective and doesn't like to let me drive very often until mom berates him into letting me. Even living out in the burbs though, I can only see so much of the sky. It looks much more beautiful out in the middle of nowhere.
My summers have never really been anything special, I've always worked as soon as I was able to so I'd have money for the coming school year, but now, I finally get to go SOMEWHERE, even if it is just another city, only 2.5 hours away. We'll stay at a fancy theme hotel. It'll be fun damnit! And the most fun ever.
I would LOVE to see the middle of nowhere. My mom says pretty much the exact same thing; that you can't even really envision how many damned stars there are until you're out on a plain somewhere without city smog and haze to fog everything out. I still live in a small enough city that in certain spots you couldn't imagine you were in the middle of a crawling urban environment, though, and I do love that.
And HEY. I hope you have a fantastic trip.
