Sorry, July.

I've learned one thing lately: I am really bad at blogging when I'm busy and/or really happy.  I've seriously had the best summer, and although it hasn't been the most lucrative one I've had, it's been so much more rewarding in so many other ways.  I moved in with two guys who have become two of my very best friends, they're truly some of the greatest people I know.  I've had such a beautiful summer living with them, reveling in my last few months of complete and total freedom, enjoying every last minute spending time with the people I love.  Riding bikes, waking up at noon, drinking beers during the day, throwing discs, curing our hangovers by breaking into pools, and doing lots of other things my mother probably doesn't approve of.  As much as I love writing, my soul doesn't require it when I'm spending most of my time doing things I love with people I enjoy doing them with.  I've been reading more lately, which is nice.  Actually being able to pick a book up for pleasure rather than being assigned a book for class is such a lovely feeling.  Even if it is literally the same book, I'd much rather read it on my own time than at the demand of a professor.  I've been catching up on the many many hours of sleep I've missed out on over the past few, umm, five years... so that's taken up a bit of time.  I was also working for a while, at a Thai restaurant, making little to no money.  That didn't last long, I wrote a quick note and taped it to the door between lunch and dinner service the other day... then went to play disc.  These are the kinds of things I'm going to miss.  Less than three weeks, and I can almost promise you that with the amount of crap I'm trying to do between now and then, there probably won't be more than one quick blog update, if that.  However, I do plan on keeping up on my travel blog while I'm overseas.  That blog will probably become more of a life-blog type thing, who knows what this one will morph into... maybe a collection of thoughts and ideas for my book?  You know, that book that I'm never actually going to write?
