I bought my plane ticket! - which always makes me nervous... I'm flying into Spokane Washington on August 6th somewhere around 1:00-ish in the afternoon. My amazing brother has promised to pick me up - thanks bud!
I'm very happy to be getting back to Moscow but I'm also sad to be leaving here. I love New Mexico, there's this boy that I kinda like (of course, he's going to Tennessee). Altogether - I'm a bit sad.
But... Moscow - HERE I COME!!!

Going home...
Woot! Woot! I'm headed to Moscow! Well... in a couple of weeks. I'm really looking forward to getting back where everything feels comfortable. I've missed all of my friends bunches this summer.
I found out that the place I was planning on living at isn't going to work out long term. Thankfully I'll be able to stay there temporarily - until I find a more permanent place. Of course - I'm not even sure I'll be staying in Moscow, who knows what this next year will bring... and not having a job or a lease or anything is kind of freeing. I do know I need to be in that area at least through the beginning of October because my friends Abby is GETTING MARRIED!!! And I wouldn't miss her wedding for the world.
Speaking of Abby - her fiance Chris is going to be playing a show in ABQ with his band (Mon Marie) on August 5th! That's really the main reason I'm not flying back before then... well - that and the fact that we don't get done with camp clean-up stuff until sometime on the third.
Anyways... I am looking forward to getting back to Moscow, even if it means I have to find a place to live... and a job... and did I mention a car???

Black Clouds
I really hate being mad at people...
And the thing is - the closer you are to the person you're mad at... the worse you feel.
Now sometimes there is a very legitimate reason to be angry... we can all think of those reasons... but a lot of time (at least for me), I'm mad because I've taken something and blown it completely out of proportion. Someone didn't say hi to me, or they said something that I took the wrong way... it usually has to do with some slight I feel I've received.
Like I said - I hate being mad... especially at someone I'm close to. Usually when that happens I'll "storm around" for a bit (as it was recently described), go sit in the sun, have a quick drink of something strong - and get over it. I really love it when the person I'm mad at notices that I'm walking around under a black cloud and decides to brave the storm and talk to me about it. What should really happen is that I be the one to take the step and "confront" them about whatever I'm mad about. Usually I will realize that I'm being stupid- I'll apologize, and everything will go back to the way it should be!
The most important thing is to "not let the sun go down on your anger". For reals... don't stay mad at someone over night and don't let someone think you're mad at them if you've forgiven them or just "gotten over it". In the morning - everything needs to be fixed (at least as much as possible).
And it always feels great to not be mad at someone...
(This is the end of a confusing post - I blame the hour of night and the end of a long day - full of black clouds. Goodnight!)
