Coming Up...

I've really gotten excited about this coming up month basically....I pick up my best friend from LAX on Tuesday and then Thursday night we are off to New York City! I will be walking down the streets and trying not to look completely like a tourist- camera clutched in my hand and looking around wildly. When I was little, it was my "favorite city" that I would always love in movies. I would tell people when I graduated high school I wanted to be living in new york, in a loft above a bakery, and go to NYU. That dream kind of crumbled when I got my roots in pretty deep in Ventura. I'm beginning to love and mark in my memory as significant events in my life, are simply when I get to leave my home town.
That being said- it really makes me sad thinking I might not always live in sunny lovely, california. There was nothing more than shocking when I did my first out-of-california trip (at the age of 15, mind you) when I realized not everyone got to experience how nice the weather is and beautiful the towns. Traveling tends to make me feel like I've lived in a little shoe box my whole life, where little by little, peep holes appear.
I think I sound completely lame. But I don't care. I'm excited!
