Liar liar pants on fire...

Let's have a little talk about total bullshit, shall we? It goes something like this: Follow the link up to your right that says "Keep up!". That's where you'll find the new blog that I am going to post on. I might post on this one on occasion just to shake shit up (and use words like shit as I wouldn't want to get out of practice) but for the most part I'll be blogging about my where abouts. All I know is that was a huge load off my chest...

C U Next Tuesday!!

Today was pretty fantastic. It consisted of waking up to freedom and then heading over to my aunts house for a party in my honor. I will no longer be present at parties that are not in my honor. Maybe that's a little severe. I'll just have to convince myself they are all in my honor. Problems become so minute when solved with delusion. Ahh... Anyway, the party was so much fun and in the process I realized just how much I am going to miss my family. They have always played a massive part in my life and parting is such sweet sorrow. Not sorrowful enough to stay though eh? Never mind the fact that any time they want to come visit me, they'll have to find me somehow and I'll have changed my number by then... just kidding, they can visit any time they'd like to.

Yesterday's ride around Boston helped me fully feel the raging hatred that has built inside me all these years. I am way to enthusiastic and delighted for this area. And to think I almost fell for it. Almost! Oh well. Tuesday is looming and as much as I am extremely nervous, the excitement and anticipation is winning no contest. I am so high strung and exciteable that I don't think the nervous ever had a chance to be honest.

I am totally going to keep this blog up. I like making things difficult for myself not to mention the other travel blog will be PG as people like my grandmother will be reading it. I do have some respect for people in this corroded heart of mine.

Binging and purging

At this point I have eaten an excessive amount of ice cream so I am feeling way better than yesterday when I hadn't eaten any at all. Okay, maybe one little brownie Häagen-Dazs bar. But it was early in the day and the trauma ensued later in the evening making that happy little ice cream treat all of nonexistant.

I thought I did an incredible job picking and choosing my things until I had a happy little pile of material goods of which to bring with me on my trip. However. I am inclined to give my trucks FAR to much credit and this time was no different. Also, and I know I have said it before this, I am putting everything I own into one vehicle. This is not as easy as it sounds (am I the only one that thinks this sounds easy?). Especially if you are prone to giving said vehicle way to much credit. It's painful when you have convinced yourself someone else did it in their Saturn. Twice. Ha! Needless to say, I was sure to do this the last night I could stay at my apartment so I had very very little time and very very little stability by the end of it all. In fact, there were moments I was simply feverishly throwing things out without even considering that I might in fact use them again. Like jackets and coats. Good bye. I *sigh* gave my books to Yolanda down at Diskovery. I like Yolanda and I like her used book store. Shit, I bet 3/4 of those books were aquired at that very store. It seemed the right thing to do. Good bye books. I know you'll make someone else as happy as you made me. I then proceeded to cram the truck full of all the things I had pictured fitting in nicely. By the end, I couldn't see out of the rearview and Charlie was in the back riding on his dog bed which was precariously balanced on top of all the things that *should* have fit like a glove. He was essentially riding next to the roof. It was risky but worth it. Jim rode shot gun with the fish and other random articles piled about him. Let's just say he was doing better than the Charles, but Charlie is a good sport and always happy to go for a ride. If my brain was in working order, I clearly would have snapped a picture of this fucking mess. But I was in full fledged freak out until you snap mode and pictures were not the things snapping. I went to say good bye to a friend and then headed out for my first stop which is my mom's. We got to my mom's at about 11:00 where I stuffed the face with green vegetation and white beans and then promptly fell flat on my face on the floor wrapped up in dogs, their bedding, a pillow and a blanket. I am going to be here until the going away party on Sunday and until my traitorous transmission gasket is fixed on Monday. It's leaking. I don't want anything leaky so it seems smart to stay. The awesome thing is that this truck is still under warranty. Go Dodge?

The second purging started this morning after having breakfast with my grandparents. The food and visit not only lifted my spirits but it gave me the energy to keep going in the face of adversity. And the unpacking to pack. It would appear I needed a large front yard and no time limit to effectively pack my truck up. I spread my things all over my mothers front lawn (again, no pictures?? WTF is my problem??) and tried again. More things are going into the attic for safe keeping and the rest has been repacked and cut down to a far more manageable amount. *sniff* smell that? *sniff* That's what success smells like bitches. I might even be able to see out of the rearview. Niceness!! The only thing I have left to get for this trip is a weighted jump rope. I really miss jumping rope. And I was getting so good at it!! So I want the weighted one that will work my arms as well as my legs. I am going to have to jump outside everyday if I can't find the room inside but I can handle this. The super cool part is that I jump rope better with my eyes closed. I'm so not kidding.

Oh right! Since I am not okay with some people reading this blog... I don't think the name goes with travel and all that. I have made a blog for the documentation of my travels. You can find it here. As of right now it is barren and there is nothing to see. That will change. Promise. My camera will become a solid fixture that never leaves my side. You will see everything I think is important enough to record and hear about every mentionable adventure... As of right now, everything is touch and go considering I am stealing my neighbors online service. Not that this has stopped me or ever will.
