change...

an unexpected change is happening. it's not even my change, it's someone else's change, but like the movie the butterfly effect it does inevitably effect me somehow. most recently, it's made me realize that i am not who i thought i was all this time. i can speak my feelings, i can be strong, i have no reason to hide.

this probably doesn't make sense unless you know what i'm talking about. you probably don't know what i'm talking about. it probably needs to stay that way.

happy official no-work day!

so, it's the day before a long-weekend, so i'm not working.

i'm at work, but i'm not working.

robin, my manager, is on vacation and she emailed us telling us that we could leave early today. she never gave a specific time that we could leave, so i'm just not working at all. i could leave now, since it IS almost 2:00, but i'm stuck here anyway because amber and i are going up to indiana together, and her department did not get permission to leave early.

so i'm writing on my xanga and i have nothing to say really.

so far today, i did do a little bit of work (approved and denied a few contracts), went to the mall for an hour (lunch break), walked around the office talking to other people, visited with people who came into the accounting office, wrote on a few facebook walls, made bryce do some non-work related photoshopping, watched some youtube videos, IM'd a few people....

yeah. i guess that's it. happy no work day!

because i know you were all in suspense...

i now have plans for the 4th.

that's all.

i'm having fun.

that's really all i have to say right now. i guess i go through these stages where sometimes i feel like i am not taking advantage of the fact that i'm young and single and that i'm not living my life to its fullest. right now is not one of those times. sure, i could probably be doing a lot more than i am (it would help if i had extra money haha), but i do feel like i'm having a lot of fun right now.

this is the first weekend i've had in awhile without anything "fun" to do. i did put in some overtime at work yesterday, not that it's fun to make new files, but i had fun spending the day with melissa. and i made cookies.

yeah. i'm fun.

i just wish i had the money to leave the country right now. and i have no plans for the fourth, which hopefully will change sometime in the next two weeks.

Home On The Road

Well I departed Nashville on Saturday morning. Saturday evening I went bowling in the ole college town. Sunday morning I went to the old college church. At the moment I'm in Mocha Joe's.... (coffee shop on campus).

It's funny how in these places I see only one or two faces I recognize, and yet it still feels like home. I think I wrote something similar when I got back from homecoming back in October. But it's nice to know that even if I only know a few people still in town, that it's still home to me. I haven't lived here in two years, and it's a town that changes constantly (well, the people do. everything else is the same).

I love it. Anderson is my home. Michigan is my home. Nashville is my home.

The road is my home. I feel just as welcome and just as at peace on the road.

This journey has just begun.
