Well… we did it… we saw… The Thing! It was… kinda boring. Driving by all of the iconic billboards on the way to it was about as exciting as the actual Thing itself. Actually, on the way out of the gas station (that houses the museum that houses The Thing), we almost stepped on a really creepy centipede. So that was kind of cool.
You know… driving home after a day trip or vacation really sucks. Especially when you don’t particularly like where you live. I think that’s a pretty common feeling and quite obvious as well. The thing is… I am dreading the drive home more and more. All of this talk about moving and living in such wonderfully better places has got me really developing an intense hatred of where we are right now. I used to love cacti… now I can’t stand it. I used to love feeling the deep, penetrating rays of sunshine on a hot sunny day… now it sickens me. I know I can make it another year, but I’m not going to like it. I want out.
Currently, this is our life:
We are planning a one month trip to The Netherlands for next year. This is to help us decide if we actually want to live there. We’ve got relatives who live there and can help us get a feel for what living in The Netherlands is like. I’m really looking forward to it. As far as the owning horses option goes, we are going to start taking horse lessons every month. I am really looking forward to this as well. We’re going to try to find someone who will help us with getting a feel for what it’s like to own horses. If we do decide on the horses route, we probably won’t be going to Europe (at least for a while). We definitely want somewhere up north that has nicer weather and lots of land. And who knows… maybe a wonderful, more glorious third option (living on Main Street U.S.A.???) will pop up!
In other news… if I never use Photoshop or Dreamweaver for work again, it will be too soon. I love these wonderful little programs for personal use (obviously), but I really hope I get out of this industry within a year or two. I’m just not cut out for it. I have no real professional design sense, I cannot learn any code beyond html/css, and I really don’t like how quickly the industry moves. Oh yeah… and I want to be able to design things without consulting Internet Explorer first. I have no idea if this blog looks at all good in any version of IE. Why? Because I don’t give a flying fuck because I don’t have to. Chrome FTW. Bah. Can I please just work at a surf shop on a boardwalk or sell hot dogs on the beach or work at Disneyland or be a waiter? Yeah. I know I ramble on about what I want to do with my life a lot. Deal with it. This is my blog. You can leave. You shouldn’t though. Because… I love you.
