i almost don’t remember writing the last post. i guess i’ve taken a little while off. i figured i didn’t have much positive to write, and i didn’t want to complain all the time.

but i have news. i haven’t really told anyone yet, so if you don’t know, well… neither does anyone else. i bought a one-way plane ticket to california. caroline is looking at an apartment for me this weekend that i sincerely hope works out, and if it doesn’t, then i’m back to figuring out what i’ll do once i’m there. i’d already known that when i left i wouldn’t be going with much stuff, but now that i know that checked baggage costs extra money, i’m gonna do my best to narrow down my belongings to what fits in my backpack.

heather came home the other day. we’ve spent a ton of time together. i vaguely remember going to colemans a few days ago, and today she & angie & and i went on a nice little day trip. we went wine tasting, which i’ve never done before. i used to totally hate wine, and in the past year or so, i’ve found one or two that i thought were alright. but gosh, today i found so many. i’ve got a place now; i’m gonna call em up when i want some, and have them ship it to me, because they’re cheap, cool people, and honestly – every single wine i tasted there was the best wine i’d ever tasted. i bought a bottle for before i leave, hopefully i can find someone to celebrate with.

so i guess that’s the biggest news. oh yeah, and… i begrudgingly have decided to sell charlie. fuck, i don’t want to, he’s so awesome… he’s fixed for now, but who knows. he’s just gonna keep costing me money. i can’t drive him to california like this, and i doubt that i’d have the wherewithall to drive to california by myself even if he was top notch. my dad doesn’t want to have him sitting in the driveway forever, doing nothing. and it’s gonna cost at least $1000 to ship him. he’s gotten to be a friend to me. my first car. a convertible. but i can’t keep this up, i gotta sell him. i’m sorry, charlie.
