#209

I'm getting restless. I am so anxious for change. I find myself searching for apartments in Seattle or Portland. And then I bounce to the opposite side of the country and look up Maine. Moving to Pittsburgh went so well. Dare I say it was even easy? I don't know. I know its foolish to think moving to a brand new city will always be that simple. But a huge part of me wants to see if it will be. 

When my mom was in town this weekend, she confessed that she thought after this year I would have moved closer to home, not necessarily Saginaw but I think a big part of her thought I would be living in EL with Toi. I am not quite sure why she thought this because I don't think it ever came up but she did. I guess I'm not ready to settle down and have those responsibilities. I like having my freedom and the opportunity to pack up and move. But now I know that every time I do, I hurt my parents just a little bit because I'm not a quick drive across the state. I guess its just all a part of growing up, sucks a tad.

So if anyone next August feels the need to pack up, close their eyes and throw a dart at the map, I'm down.

For the record, I love Seattle.

I kinda hate the idea that I've already signed a lease until August 2010.

I understand that. It blows my mind to think that 2010 is next year already.
