*whew* long time no post (again)

I just got back from Atlanta late last night.  I HAD A BALL!  Not that I necessarily did a lot, but the people (well one in particular) made it a lot of fun.  I did get my trip to Houston’s which was fabulous as always.  I saw Hancock which was a good movie with an interesting twist at the end.  D, LR, B, and I went to The World of Coke on Sunday.  Its been remodeled since the last time I was there and this time I thought it was more enjoyable.  D works there so she got us in half price.  I finally met her roommate Kim (I don’t know her last name and didn’t want to call her K).  She was hilarious and I can see why they’re friends.  Tuesday D, LR, LD and I went bowling.  I haven’t been bowling in at least a year and that was fun.  It was good to know that my “technique” still worked. 

I played a lot of Rock Band (yes M, its as fun as you said).  LD’s brother and sister played too, so on Friday we had a full band with LD on drums, his brother on lead guitar, his sister singing and me on the base.  LD and I put together most of a Lego Yoda.  He had to finish the head by himself b/c we ran out of time, but it was fun to do that with someone.  It definitely didn’t take the 6 hours that the first one did.

The most amazing and eye-opening thing for me was how quickly and easily I was comfortable there.  Its not just that I was comfortable hanging out with my friends, but being there felt as natural as being here in HR.  I never had that feeling when I was living in Maryland.  I lived in Atlanta for about 5 years and only the last one was continuous b/c for the other 4 I was in college and went home during the summer.  I lived in Maryland for 5 full years and never once did it feel like I belonged there.  I belong in Atlanta.  My goal is to get rid of my credit card debt as soon as possible and move to Atlanta.  I would like to be living there by next summer, but if not then, DEFINITELY summer 2010, no ifs ands or buts about it.  I’ve been wanting to move back there too long and now with ExH out of the picture its time to do what I want for myself.  No more caving to what anyone else wants from me.

As my Myspace says. . . My real home is Atlanta, I’m merely on a hiatus.
