i'll be home for christmas

it's a little early to start thinking about the holidays, but not if you have to buy a train ticket soon.

so, i haven't written in here since june. i feel guilty. i've been trying to immerse myself more fully in life here, because when i think or read too much about grand rapids, i start to miss it. and since i'm not moving back, it's rather useless. but i will be back for the holidays! probably 12/23 through 1/2.

so in case anyone is interested, things are going relatively well here. it's finally cooled down! i got a scooter at the end of august, a honda metropolitan, and i don't really drive my car anymore. it's awesome, and really fun. work is hard, but i think i'm going to survive. the house is good, we had two new housemates move in at the end of july. we've started a radical mental health collective, and an eastern north carolina earth first! chapter. i quit smoking last month. i got my septum pierced a few weeks ago, right before i went to the southeast women's herbal conference, which was amazing. i'm probably going to move to asheville in january, or shortly thereafter, to live with two really wonderful friends that i have there.

and i guess those are the highlights.
