veracity/voracity

I have 2 dimes on my desk near my keyboard. My newly manicured fingers reach for them mindlessly as I rock back and forth in my black office chair, soon to be packed away in its original box because I am done with this blasted job.

It was a good idea at first. Yeah! I’ll be a “travel agent”! sounds like a lot of fun. I know a lot of missionaries that need my help. A year later I sit here wondering at what I have done to myself outside of spending my life savings on doing a job that I never really believed in from the beginning.

That’s a terrible fault of mine. If I don’t believe in something enough, wild horses couldn’t make me be faithful. It’s the curse of being a Gemini I guess. Must have entertainment, must be fascinated, must be new and exciting. Not always true I hope. Maybe that is why Jesus is talking to me about dreaming again. About living out those dreams that have been there for an awful long time, now that I am 26 and still formally uneducated. On the other hand, if my curiosity isn’t satiated about something than I become obsessive to the point of annoyance and will not be quieted until I have what I want, again a terrible fault of mine. But once I have it, it is no longer a novelty and I don’t really want to play with it anymore. Oh, I might eventually come back around to appreciating it, but unfortunately my compulsivity gets the best of me.

Anyway, what was I talking about? Ah yes, my present job, that will no longer be my present job after Friday. I will be traveling though. Something I love to do. Never got to do as a travel agent because everyone else needed to do it before me. Not so good for a person with massive wanderlust issues. To be honest, I don’t really want to be gone as long as I will be gone this summer though. 6 weeks in toll, my wandering heart might be settling down finally, now that I have a place of rest for my soul.

There is a roly-poly walking down my wall. We have had a roly-poly invasion here at the office. They like it in here. I like them too because it reminds me of my childhood. These days I pretty much like anything that reminds me of my childhood.

This is the most geminiic ( a newly coined word by yours truly to evoke a sense of the Gemini reality of paradoxical and scattered living pronounced: JEM-in-ei-IK) write I have ever had so far. This is how my mind works, constantly. All over the place all of the time.

So 6 weeks of travel. Here are my plans, I will keep you updated, and I hope to include pictures of my travels as I go along.

I am flying to Albany, NY next Wednesday and I am going to visit my friend Katherine near Rochester for a day or two, than I am taking the train (there will be a lot of Amtrak involved in my journeys) to Rutland Vermont to hang out with some friends, than either catching a ride, or taking the train to Burlington Vermont (super cool town) to hang out with another gang of friends, than I will be training down to Brattleboro, VT where hopefully my friend from Keene, New Hampshire will come pick me up so I can hang out with him for a day or two, than on to either Manchester, NH or Lawrence, Mass to chill with the YStorm crew. Than Amtrak to Washington DC, though today I was thinking if I go through Jersey I might stop to see my long lost brother whom I have not spoken with since I was 18, I’ll keep you updated on that, it may be a very emotional thing. Not may be, will be. Then I will be in DC with my friend Amanda for 4th of July week and then finally on my way, via Amtrak, to Jacksonville, Florida for my best friend’s wedding. Then I will be flying home just in time for my parents to be packing a uhaul truck and hopping in it with them, and my long lost sister who I haven’t seen for over 4 years and driving them to Washington (the State) and hanging out for a week or two there, and by the beginning of August I hope to be home back in my cute little colorful apartment, safe and sound.

Holy Cow.

So if you are in the vicinity of any of these stops, let me know and I will come visit you (if you are presently a friend that is, I do not meet strangers abroad).

That is all.
