I'm a little boat lost at sea

Hello all.

I feel like a little boat lost at sea.  I am sad and can't wait to go back home.  I know in the grand scheme of the world's mechanics, me being in DC is really a blessing and all things wonderful and I should be happy to be learning, but when it comes down to it, I am a human and in the reality that I live in, in Lupe's world, I yearn for my family and California and clean places and nice people.

Also, I just finished Killbox by Ann Aguirre, and now I am depressed and my analogy has changed so that I feel like a space-borne schooner, or better yet, an escape pod, lost in space waiting for the gravitational pull of a planet to bring me on-world. Except I want that planet to be California and my family is my gravitational pull. I'm such a sci-fi nerd....

Wow, I am so analogous filled today.

I had a lot of fun searching through sci-fi space art! 

After my internship, in which I actually had stuff to do (!) I went to borders with my fellow intern, but we got lost for an hour even though it was two blocks down from our metro.  We walked every where except where we were supposed to be, but it was nice because we checked out all the possible places to go enjoy a happy hour next week.  Its the last week of our internship next week and so we are going to celebrate.

I stayed at borders from 6-9 and browsed for an hour and a half, unsure of how to spend my ten free borders bucks and confused on what books I should buy.  I would up buying The Native Star by M.K. Hudson and a journal for myself.  I am suffering from lack of writing.  I have not found a suitable journal; but today I picked up one that was really nice and so thats my interim journal.

Then I got a real bad bout of homesickness and was listening to Always Be My Baby and got sad.  And my chest constricted and continued to hurt until I left borders.   (I realized that something was on too tight...) but still I was upset, and then my book ended on a cliffhanger and so now I have to wait until next September to read about Sirantha Jax....lucky for me I saw that the book after the next book comes out September 2012.

hmmm....okay, I have ranted long enough...and am too tired to start writing about Egypt.

I am happier because I got a new book and a journal and I spent a good portion of my day at Borders.  Hopefully I get off early tomorrow.  I made a new friend today. More updates tomorrow!

Peace.
