From Monday:
Im on a very isolated ranch in Wyomingno civilization for miles. But I just received a voicemail via a crappy analog signal. Of my two best friends from high school, the first got married less that a year after we started college. The second apparently became engaged yesterday. Its so odd to see people my age and younger getting married. I dont feel that old; I dont feel like my friends and I should have entered that world yet. I cant help but wonder now though, if Ill join them anytime soon. I never really thought about marriage as a child, and Id be lying if I said I considered it much now. But sometimes, I wonder if I will ever be a wife, and just imagining it is supremely strange!
Today was long and meandering. The morning began with an early breakfast and a leisurely horseback ride. The midday consisted of lunch and another horseback ride. This one was not so leisurely, full of steep climbs up precarious mountain ledges. My stirrups werent fitted well, and Skoalthat speckled animal Ive been assigned tois glacially slow unless it seems to be in my worst interests to be quick.
::fears: death, the dark, and heights::
I totally panicked when Skoal took off up a steep, crumbling ledge. My feet popped out of the too-long stirrups, the horse stumbled on the path at high speeds, and I looked over the tremendous ledge as I struggled to stay on. *shudder* I hate the feeling of falling. There is an utter helplessness, a lack of control, that is matched in few situations.
Still, the West is wild AND wooly, just the way I left it. The strange country is beautiful and deserted except for us. Here with me on my travels is the coolest soon-to-be stepbrother I could ever hope for. Hes quiet but intelligent, wants to be a film director, has good taste without being a snob in the least, and has a penchant for attracting the attention of middle-aged and elderly women. I had met the rest of my future step-family prior to the trip and am happy to report that they are more than satisfactory.
I miss all of you, so leave me some love and tell me what youve been up to!
The Village comes out Friday!
