HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LIVE IN FUCKING LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






I did it, I don't know HOW i did it....but I did it. I drove across 13 states, 3 time zones, and it took me five days but I am here. I saw purple mountains majesties, amber waves of grain and spacious skies galore. I pet a wild Buffalo on the side of the road, I slept in motels where the doors didn't lock and I had to barricade the entrance with a table and chair and sleep with a 13in machete next to my bed. I slept in my car in walmart parking lots, I didn't get lost once, I almost got eaten by a tornado, and I saw Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse. I've never done something so liberating and exhilarating and amazing in my life before, and I've done a lot of fucking awesome things.

If you ever...EVER get a chance to drive across the country, FUCKING DO IT. I literally got tears in my eyes and had to pull over when I came over a knoll and saw the Rocky Mountains in front of me. I'm getting a little choked up thinking about it right now to be honest haha. For a long time I hated living in the US. I thought about how selfish everyone here is, and how ungrateful our society has become. But, after seeing what this country is really about it's crystal clear to me why our ancestors made that long trek in wagons and by foot. This country is absolutely, amazingly beautiful. I thought that I had seen a lot of things in my life, and even though I was living in upstate, NY I thought I had a pretty damn good grasp on what the US had to offer....but I was wrong. I don't mean to turn this into a huge national pride thing....but I'm just in awe at how gorgeous some things are. The thing that kills me is that the people who live in the mountains, or on the plains everyday probably take these beautiful things or granted. I know I took the Appalachians of NY for granted.


So now, as I sit here in Starbucks about 1/2 a block from the Pacific Ocean (which I've still yet to see since I moved here haha) I have a better understanding of the world. There are so many things out there that I've yet to see. There are soooooooooooooooooooo many people that I've yet to meet. Haha, hell, I stuck out like a sore thumb in Wyoming to the point where the lady at the sketchy motel almost wouldn't give me a room (you'd think she'd never seen a girl with a fauxhawk, a bull ring, tattoos, and gauged ears before ). It was amusing to see peoples' reactions to me since I was such an outsider.

oh random side note about Wyoming.....DON'T USE THE REST STOPS. Seriously I don't know if they're ALL like this, but I stopped to use the bathroom and when I went in it smelled REALLY bad.....so I go into the stall and lift up the seat.....ummm yeah it was a fucking OUTHOUSE. There were literally 20 stalls and all of the toilets just led down to a hole in the ground. I couldn't help but laugh at how disgusting it was. I mean...I understand that they are trying to save water....but seriously, is indoor plumbing REALLY that big of a stretch? haha anyways it was amusing to say the least, and I did pee in it. So that's my contribution to a "green Wyoming" hehe.



oh annnd can I just say that Cali boys are MUCH more my type than NY boys? mmmmmmmm because they are.



(sidenote...a girl just walked into starbucks and I swear she's on SG because I swear I've seen her before.....weird.)




ok I need to stop writing now because I'm just babbling and you have all probably stopped reading anyways haha.












oh...did I mention lately that I have a new set going up in Member Review on the 12th? because I dooooooooo!
