Today was nice. K, A, and I went to the pond to feed the ducks, then we chatted a bit at panera, browsed through Barnes&Nobles, walked through Aaron Brothers, and then went to A's house to do some art. It was a casual day, but nice. I really do enjoy spending time with A. She is so similar to me and I feel very normal around her. It's rare for me to feel like this around a new friend or acquaintance. And of course, I've known K since fourth grade, so naturally we're good friends.

Tomorrow I leave on my road trip! I'm actually getting a little teensy bit excited inside, haha. Trust me, the thought of spending almost a week trapped in a car with my mom, her boyfriend, and my kid sister is a little bit daunting... but being out on the open road (like Kerouac! HA HA HA) makes me quite jolly in a stupid pretentious little way. I am actually amusing myself by envisioning people like Ginsberg exploring the great west coast. Admittedly, I'm a dork. But hey, at least it will keep me busy; to picture myself on the same boring freeways where awesome people have tread in their own iron horses. So long my invisible readers! See you in a week!
