Take me to another place.

It is so hard for me to find time to blog. Between school 5 days a week and working at a bar 4 days a week and having a boyfriend and a dog to pay attention to...blogging is just a nonexistent past time left to be squeezed in like Divine into a girdle. But...while Ezra is out of town, I've found a few moments...so...

The Ohio trip was a blazing success. Although not sleeping the entire drive up there (24 hours) and barely sleeping a wink the whole time I was there, I made it through! The drive was long and I felt like a cranked out trucker from lack of sleep and too much coffee. The high point was that Ezra and I did not bicker or fight or snap at each other the whole time. Not that we do usually, but you'd think that a 24 hour drive with no sleep might take it to our limit...yet our love prevailed and we made it to my parents house unscathed by the trip. Friday I went shoppy with my ma and went up to the convention to hang out with John and Kate. Then drove back to my parents house where we crashed like Jayne Mansfield's car...minus the decapitation. Saturday was nothing short of amazing. I couldn't script a better day if John Waters was writing it. Well, that may be a fib, but I digress. The evening started off with a 350 dollar trip to Buca di Beppo in the Pope room. That place is utterly kitschy and I wish my house looked like that. A gal can dream. Then the alcohol started flowing and Karen, Amy, and I proceeded to wreck havoc on every living being in the joint. Everyone I could have wanted to be there was and it was amazing. My highlight was eating spaghetti with Karen with no utensils and no hands...A Christmas Story style. I love drinking with those girls and everything was wondrous. Fan-fucking-tabulous. Sunday brought Ezra's family and Neko Case. I cried during Neko and it was everything I ever hoped it would be. I found Alecia and Danine right away and it definitely made a difference. The show was a lifetime highlight and it rocked my socks.

Monday at 6 am I flew home to Hatchie and loved her all day while relaxing and watching Freaks and Geeks.

The trip was definitely bittersweet because it made me realize how badly I miss my friends. It's really hard making new friends in a place when you have no time to do anything and it really weighs heavy on my heart. I don't want to move back to Ohio...the weather sucks, but San Antonio is taking some getting used to. My school sucks and although I have a rocking job, Ezra doesn't really like his. It's hard to make a decision on where we want to go next and when and money and sigh. It bothers me and when I get bothered, I shut myself off. I do that to Ezra a lot, just not talk to him for a couple hours...sometimes I just want to be left alone to relax and reflect. It hurts him sometimes when I do that, but it's what I do. Always have, always will. Oh well, whatever. I'm hungry...
