in transit

i am currently in los angeles.

oh my god i am so close to home.

i just signed onto instant messenger and i feel like i'm in another world. i'm online on my own computer. oh my goodness this is so weird.

you know you're back in civilization when the bathrooms have SEATS on the toilets and there's TOILET PAPER and you don't have to throw it in the trash can and then there are sinks and they actually work and hot water comes out and there's soap and EVERYTHING.

plus there are so many white people around i can't believe it. i've gotten so used to doing the "hello fellow white person" nod that to have so many around is really overwhelming. i'm also a good four shades darker than everyone else around here.

i think i've been gone too long ...

one 15 hour trip down, one more to go!
