Turning A Corner

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Yesterday on the bus on home Scott, my sometimes commuter friend, asked me how I was liking it on Vashon. Given that I have had very little sleep over the past few days I think my stream of consciousness leaned towards wafflely with a side of negative. It’s been 9 months! Form an opinion for shitsakes! You like it? You don’t like it? This is not rocket science.

Here’s the deal. Vashon is awesome. There. I said it. I might not say it ever again. I generally use this blog as my middle school tween journal that I write my super secrets in. Which is to say, on any given day I’ll write to process information on how I feel about things in my life. It’s usually when I am feeling introspective. Or I have something funny to share. Or when I am feeling quite smitten.

I change my mind all of the time.

It could be that one day moving to Vashon will feel like the most brilliant move I ever made and that I can’t imagine leaving because I love it so. I am already glad about the friends that I have made here. All five of you.

So after 9 months of kicking and screaming, I am going to start delving (with one toe) into island life and figuring out what it is all about. I may still make fun of it on occasion – it wouldn’t be like me to leave an opportunity to make fun of a hoe-down. The difference is is that now I may actually go to a hoe-down and then make fun of it.

And who knows, at the end of the day if I am feeling especially country-western, I might even take up speaking with a drawl. You know, cause I am from Texas, y’all.
