Caves
Much has happened since I last updated........
I drove with Nathan across the country. We started in Millville, drove to Idlewild Disc Golf Course in Kentucky, then continued on to St. Louis, the Rocky Mountains, Arches National Park, the Grand Canyon and finally, Los Angeles. It was a great trip. Some parts were much better than others, but I could spend a lot of time on the road. I wish I had more friends that would do things like that with me. I jumped at the chance to go with Nate since he was going out of neccessity and I figured it would be my only shot at doing something like this unless I meet someone new that likes doing things that I do. If I get to do it again I'd like it to be warmer so camping is a better option most nights. I love camping just not when it's below freezing outside. We only camped one night. Three nights were spent in hotels and one sleeping in the car. I need to get a new cot for camping as well.
Some of the most amazing things we saw were at Arches National Park. The hikes were awesome by themselves, but the views they provided were even better. Besides LA, that is the one place I really want to get back to. Los Angeles was much better this time than the one other time I was there for a short time in traffic. I didn't want to leave. Everything there was just great.
I went to see Jonah Matranga for the second time last week with Chuck. He played in a chapel at the First Unitarian Church. It was a very intimate performance with no mics or cords of any kind, just Jonah and his acoustic guitar. It was even better this time that I kenw some of his songs.
We had a FalaFest on Friday night with me, Katie, Chuck, Jordan and Sergi. We got falafels and then hung out in the city for a while until we could get pretzels.
Saturday we went to see Bayside. They were as good as I expected them to be. They played a great selection from most of their CDs, including Dear Tragedy, Don't Call Me Peanut, They're NOT Horses, and Landing Feet First. They played all the songs you would expect also and the crowd was geared up the whole time. I've had their songs in my head since then.
I haven't gotten a job since I got back from the trip. There hasn't been anything to take and I need the money, especially with only two more pay days before Christmas. I'm not getting you anything.
I'm in a melancholy mood tonight and I need to be away from people. I usually just want to be around people, but I just want to be alone right now. Maybe it's just the certain people I might see that I don't want to be around. I need to get out of here.

Almost time to go..
It's Sunday night and I have a bunch of stuff left to do before I start driving to California. Foremost would be packing but I have been spending my time watching House or.. updating blogs. I also have some art assignments I should be doing because they're due the day after I get back. I am looking forward to the trip but right now I'm just trying to make sure I get things done and I don't forget to pack anything. I'll be updating things from the road if I can get internet access sometime. I'll be updating on Twitter on the way frequently and sometimes with pictures on here. I'll need some luck to get all this stuff done but the trip should be awesome.
