I'm such a bad blogger, which is odd considering my generally self-absorbed nature. Lots of excellent things going on, but today I am preparing for SOLO ROAD TRIP 2008. I'm pretty thrilled about 21 hours in the car with just little old me (though is it bad that I kind of wish Eloise was coming?).
It's going to be very excellent. I've loaded up the ipod, dug out my AAA card, and found the title to my car on the 30% chance it will break down on the way to Minnesota. I also bought postcard stamps so if anybody wants a postcard from whatever freakish or adorable town I land in to buy gas, let me know! I've been practicing my postcard haikus!
During the course of the 21 hours, in between swooning over Ira Glass and Ben Gibbard (shut up), I plan to do the following:
1. Calm the fuck down. About Ghana. About what happens when I get back. About how I wont feel like a real adult until I can learn to keep my f-ing room clean.
2. Get really excited again. About Ghana. About my trip to Minnesota. About what happens when I get back. I'm thrilled and stoked and kind of scared about things but it's all pretty exciting.
3. Not think about land reform in Kazakhstan.
4. Sing really loud and off-key to some god-awful Tom Petty song.
5. Hold conversations in my head with you.

Ha! Have a GREEEEEEAT trip. I'm pretty jealous, as I loves me some caterwalling to 'American Girl' or 'The Waiting is the Hardest Part'.
I think good that Eloise is not with you - she'd freak the f' out, I'm sure.
I'd like to officially request at least one postcard/haiku.
I would also like to receive a postcard with a haiku on it. And I, too, am preparing for ridiculous road trip 08 - mine with a cat. Oh boy oh boy!
Oh, oh! Me too! I wanna postcard!
Have an excellent road trip, and let us know when you get there so we won't worry. :)
