big wheel keep on turnin'...

wasn't it just october last week? seriously? no?

the summer is flying by, and it's been a busy one so far. school, part-time work, and the craziness of trying to spend as much quality time as possible with my friends, family and cat before i move to florida on august 18th. i've also spent some quality time with my beloved Tiger Stadium in the past couple weeks...the demolition has officially begun. not that they've done anything more than knock a garage-door-sized hole in the wall (which we - and by "we" i mean metro detroiters, myself included, who were not about to let them tear down our building without claiming a few precious pieces for ourselves - almost managed to do on another side of the stadium, lol)...but still...these last 9 years have been like having a terminally ill relative. the spectre of death has hovered and retreated, hovered and retreated. i've said my goodbyes over and over again, every time destruction looked imminent. urgh. i don't feel like crying right now, so i'll revisit this topic another time.

it's been a long day.

a week from today, i'll be flying to iowa for loaf's brother's wedding. this is both exciting and terrifying...i'm way overdue on meeting her folks, but financially it just wasn't possible before now. i'm really nervous about it...excited, for sure, but waaaaay nervous. which is perfectly normal, and maybe even more normal under the circumstances, lol...they've never met their daughter's lesbian lover before, after all...
