"I saw a white man smiling at night!"
--Barbie on why her neighborhood is not a ghetto--
Leaving Oregon i kind of freaked out, and on the phone mom asked me if i had ever considered getting anxiety medication. To which i super freaked out--one may consider things all the time, but you need to be in one place for more than a few weeks at a time to do things like doctor's appointments. Oh, the irony. This reaffirms that the staying with mom, while probably not the fun choice, is the logical choice.
So i camped for a few days in northern California & couchsurfed in Fresno, and of course recovered. The main thing is i do have a plan, however arbitrary, for the next few weeks, and the other thing is i super love my friends. LOVE. After the camping days i found myself once again within range of 'civilization,' and upon checking my messages had missed calls from Allison & Gus; Allison with details on me working in NM, and Gus with an offer that i could chillax with her at her new place in Riverside if i want to. OMG, sometimes i can't even handle how my friends come through for me, because all i really need is worthwhile options.
But since i've already (re-?)decided that i will be at the wedding in two weeks, i need to continue on east for now. The next few weeks are so full of activity i can hardly contain myself.
So i've made it to Tucson once again, and have all my things together for the next branch of my neverending roadtrip. i'm staying with Sar'ivy tonight, and will see Elyse tomorrow, and hopefully we'll get my dress fitted for E/A's wedding and some books dropped off at Bookman's and so forth. Then onto Hobbs... Friday? and Las Vegas...Saturday? Something like that!
Also, the basin & range province is totally overrated. Yes, fascinating, the crust is thinning. You know what? Extension can happen in actually enthralling ways too... take that, b&r! i don't need you no more! Also permanence is underrated, pretty sure i love the Colorado plateau--you can, like, see its shadow in google earth and if that's not astonishing nothing is! No mortal over the age of 3 gets away with excessive repetitiveness, why does like 1,000 miles of the south think that shit's okay? Huh? (yes, Tony, i am being snarky about geol things that no one else actually has feelings on once again... but pretty sure i drove through the entire southern extent of the b&r province today, so i had ample time to reflect on this... and get really, really bitter about it.)
