the womb

I’m not in New Zealand anymore. In fact, I’m in the womb. Currently in Montana, staying at the house I grew up in. My parents are both gone (in Alaska with my brother) and my sister just left. I’ve pretty much been a worthless POS the whole time I’ve been here. Watching TV, reading reddit, sitting in the hot tub. I did, however, go to my nephew’s t-ball game, which was the most hilarity I’ve experienced in ages. This little boy who was playing second base kept running up and whacking the pitcher on the head with his glove in order to steal the ball the pitcher was trying to throw to first base to get the batter (who often was running with his batting helmet completely covering his face, more of a mask than a helmet, a mask he couldn’t see through…) out.

Holy shit, 4 to 7 year olds are amazing.

Other than that, I am pretty sure I’m going to get Lasik next month. I am sick of glasses. I hate it when I wake up in the middle of the night and know the stars are amazing but have to put on my glasses before I can gaze at them… having to wear contacts if I want to wear sunglasses… ugh, lots of thing, they just suck. So we will see if the mysterious eye people will decide I’m a good candidate for Lasik.

I’m headed to Canada to get it done, of course. America’s crazy right now. I’m leaving it again in November. To Chile! And Peru! And Argentina! Hooray! Hopefully my spanish will improve. Neil (my best friend and roommate from college) is probably going to come with me and I am really friggin excited to travel with him, he’s pretty much my favorite person on the planet.

I’m still dating the 33 year old man. He’s coming to Chile, too. I’m pretty excited about that.

I miss New Zealand a lot this week. I wish I was here, doing this:

That’s Gillespie’s Beach. One of my favorite places in the world. But soon I’ll find another one of my favorite places in the world and it will be in Chileeeeeeee.

I want to live with my cat, though. I want to travel, I don’t know what to do other than travel, I don’t want to work a conventional job (or really any job at all, for that matter) I just want to be able to go places and see things and yet at the same time I want to settle down into a nice comfortable community and have an herb garden in my windowsill and cuddle with my kitty every night and go to the farmer’s market and live with a man I love?

Well, I guess traveling’s winning out for right now.
