hey
well, thought I'd pick up the old blogging thing again... for a little bit. If nothing else but to help other people procrastinate at work or whatever..
I am currently home in the US! yea :) connecting with friends, looking for jobs (arg!!), and hanging with my dad. I'm going back to Heidelberg on the 21st, hopefully going to the Ukraine to see my Will & Grace-esque Gay-best-friend (and the current love of my life) the week after, then heading up to Berlin and then to Poland and Slovakia! A few weeks later, I am going to Austria to run the 11k section of a marathon relay.
I love being able to say things like that... oh yeah, heading off to Austria and then Poland, blahblahblah. I love living in Europe, and I am going to miss it desperately next year. (and probably piss everyone off with my, "In Germany....") Coming home is wonderful. I love looking at the American landscape as the plane lands and coming into the airport and seeing Dunkin Donuts, driving my car through the streets where I grew up, seeing my friends, speaking English at stores, smiling at people, etc. But a part of me is in Germany now. I miss my apartment, my path next to the river where I pound out runs, my bike, my balcony. It's the first time that I have lived alone and I just love it. My place is so tiny, but also just right... I am in my childhood home now just feeling like, "Wow, where should I go... there are so many rooms."
OK, this is a babbling, incoherent post. Too.much.coffee. Gotta go brush my teeth and put some make-up on, so I don't scare a long-lost childhood friend when I see her for the first time in forever.
