Now usually when I am travelling the wonderful highways that connect West Palm & Toccoa for 12 hours I phase out some. But today it was beyond that. I actually thought a palm tree was a person at one point. I couldn't concentrate. I was tingly. I was nauseous. And when I stopped at Cracker Barrel & they were still serving breakfast I wanted to cry.
Once I made it to about an hour away, I was finally able to get in touch with my mom & talk to her some to keep me somewhat conscious (because talking on the phone is so much better than falling asleep & thinking pieces of nature are humans). I start unloading my car & who is the first person I should encounter?
My Giant, of course.
Because of course.
He started talking to me about how they probably are going to kick us out of the apartments but if they don't or if they require us to have roommates he is offering me my old room back.
Was he even present for all of last semester? Does he not remember how we could barely be civil to each other? Does he not remember that he tried to get me kicked out of my room & into another apartment?
Anyway, I told him that if they try to make me move into a dorm I'm just going to get my own place with my loan money. He seemed to have a hard time computing what I was saying, or maybe it was just me because I was so fracking exhausted.

I am SO GLAD you made it back safely. I recall driving to Wisconsin once for a party (when I was an undergrad) 14 hrs with 3 other girls in my '69 Camaro...by the time we hit Wisc. it was sunrise...sun in my eyes, and I was falling asleep at stop lights. NOT FUN. BTW...I made another stupid mistake and told your mom I was really enjoying your blog. She said, "He has a blog?" I said, "NO." She just looked at me and laughed. You're safe.....I'm sorry! I think I will stop mentioning your name to your mom. But I do love your mom...and she misses you so much. Said she gave the 'Border' an ultimatum. I told her I'm going to hold her to that...
Haha! Yeah, we had a talk about my blog yesterday. She didn't ask for the link & she told me to be careful about talking about people, though I said I haven't really given this out so...
Thank God Brad will be gone soon...
Again, I am sorry. I had no idea I was part of a privileged community..and I will forever guard your inner sanctum with tender loving care! That almost sounds salacious. Ooops. Anyway, I won't divulge anything! I told your mom that the blog was off-limits in our conversations, but she said if you were ever in trouble, I'd tell, right? Before I could say anything she said, "because he's my BOY!!" It was so sweet..but I told her that you're fine, it's mostly just drivel. :P
Drivel? Really? I had no idea...
You know I'm teasing.....
