back in our town

so nashville was really fun--in fact, it was a lot different than i expected it to be. i guess it made me realize why i'm always homesick fall semester...going home for just a couple days paints such a prettier picture of my life back there. it's just when i'm in town for long periods of time like winter and summer break that my parents remember that i'm actually their child and i run out of things to do and boulder just seems like heaven.

i was a bit upset about a few things. first of all, it's hard to see everyone and do everything in just three days. i would have liked to see adam more and it would have been cool to be able to see jason and will. i might be home fairly soon, though, so i should be able to remedy that. spending time with my brother and fam and bill and greg and leslie and all the other harpeth hall people was a really good time though. i just needed to be fucked up and lazy for a whole weekend.

i wish things had gone better with allison, though. i thought it was sort of rude that she basically ditched me for raf all weekend. i had no problem with the fact that she wanted to spend time with him, but effectively the only time i got to spend with her was the night we got in town--from about midnight to 4 am. plus i was a little offended that she obviously didn't like nashville...for basically all the reasons i love it so much. i like drinking beer at the slow bar and i like things that are old and dirty and people who are strange.

colorado people, at least the ones from the suburbs, seem to have this notion that anything built after 1995 is not acceptable or something. in nashville, i think most people think that most things built after 1995 (i.e. cool spring/brentwood in all of its plastic-y glory, etc) are pretty tacky and lame. i dunno, perhaps i'm not being sympathetic enough. i'm just glad i'm from where i'm from. i feel like i was pushed to have experiences that a lot of people i know at cu would never think of doing.

anyway. what else? hmmm, yesterday afternoon i had a very odd exchange with this boy who has seemingly been pining after me all year. it was admittedly a bit creepy, but at the same time i couldn't help but feel flattered. it's not every day that people come up to me on the street and act extremely awkward then precede to tell me that they're very attracted to me. hmmm, it makes me happy i have evan though, so i don't have to even deal with that sort of thing. he brought over gin and tonic stuff after helping out at 1190 last night. awww.

okay, well, i really have a lot of work to do. i can't believe maymester ends tomorrow...it's actually been pretty easy and low-key. i'd definitely recommend it for anyone who wants to get a shitty class over with as quickly as possible. i'm more excited about starting modern and contemporary lit. and social construction of sexuality on monday though...ah, life is really good.
