return to routine

I'm ditching my "travel blog" and coming back to this. It makes sense, because I'm no longer abroad, so I guess that thing will just sit there until I go somewhere else, and there'll be this huge time gap in between the posts. Whatever though.

I was thinking about my plan to go on a roadtrip back to P-town with my brother next week. I must admit, I'm very excited about it. It will be a good chance to hang out with Mich, and I haven't been there for an entire year, and I miss everyone. Or, at least, I miss enough people to make it worth my time to go; I don't miss everyone. That would be ridiculous. When I first decided to go to Turkey, I realized that I would miss out on this roadtrip that we had been planning for a few months, and I was terribly sad about it. Even though I'm home early from Turkey, which was unexpected, I love how perfectly it worked out that we can still go.

Thinking about everyone back on the west coast, it makes me wonder if anyone else thinks of me. It's not that I want to make people think about me, and I don't want to be all "oh my gosh, I'm soo cool, people always think about me" or anything stupid like that. I'm simply just curious. There are days when I'll see a picture of someone, and I spend a significant amount of time wondering what they've been up to for the past few years, and how they are, etc. I guess I'm just curious about how other peoples' minds work and what they think of when they see a picture from years ago or something.

I have a few more days of chilling and doing nothing here in the Midwest until I go halfway cross the country to see people that make me smile. If you are reading this, and you didn't know that I was going to be there and you want to hang out, call me. I'd love to see you. :)
