In just a few short days I will be in California, and I am getting pretty excited. It's kind of the first adult trip I have put together for myself, and I don't mean that in a dirty way, but it is one where I couldn't drive, so I had to arrange a flight, and book a hotel, so that's what I mean by adult, you dirty birds you.
My "sister" Aimee is getting married on Sunday. I use quotes as we have no blood relation but she is most definitely my sister in every other sense of the word. She is from California and I am from Montana and we met in North Dakota. She quickly became a great friend in the few months we could hang out before she got orders back to Cali, she was air force. After that we spent many nights talking for hours on end which sucked for me as I had class the next day most of the time, but she needed a friend and I was glad to be it. I think within a few months I realized how lucky I was to know her, and how damned important she was to me, it even got to the point that I realized she was going to be harder on a girl I got serious about than my parents might be, and that is how I knew she was my sister in every sense of the word.
Now of course I got confused about my feelings for her as a hormonal only child might, but it never got weird, and I figured out that loving a woman that is not related to you does not automatically mean you want to do dirty things to her, even if she is beautiful, which AImee is, but come on she's my sister of course she's beautiful.
I haven't physically seen her in about 7 years, but we have kept in touch pretty well, we might have periods of time that elapse where we play phone tag or miss something here and there, but we pick right back up where we left off and everything stays awesome.
She became a mother last year, and I know she will be awesome at that. She became an RN a couple months ago and is no finding out what that world is like. So I can't wait to go support her, meet her husband, meet her son, and just have a nice get away from it all.
On a personal note I went to get a DROID today, but for some reason the computer got glitchy for the local dude and it wouldn't activate my account because of errror messages on his computer, so that's fine, hopefully he will have it all figured out tomorrow and I can go pick up that fancy piece of technology. Figure it will nice to have a reliable phone while in Cali since my current one's battery went to shit. Also it should make for some good pictures too, and tht way I don't have to worry about taking my digital camera with me down there.
Another plus note is that I will get to hit In N Out burger, and hopefully it will live up to my memories of it from 9 years ago, and I think it will.
So yeah this time Saturday I will be living out of a hotel room with a king size bed, that's a lot bigger than what I crash on now so I really look forward to that, and just getting out of Montana for a weekend will be nice too,really nice. Then it's back to reality on Tuesday when I fly back. Reality = no more vacation days for the year and finishing up the final details on my thesis and scheduling a defense so I can put the period at the end of that chapter and start writing the next one.
Damn I just might be joining Pinocchio as a real boy after all!
