I like to know things about people.
What their favorite color is, their most memorable moment,
why they keep a certain item for good luck,
or if, like me, pine apples sting their tongues but taste so good.
I like to be lazy sometimes,
so I curl up in an arm chair and drink some cinnamon tea with a book, the rain coming down,
or lay back in the sand with the sun beathing through my eyelids.
Music is like air for me.
Writing is everything, and more.
Friends are the world... period.
I always look for where the rainbow ends
because maybe there's something waiting for me on the other side.
I wonder who I will know in years to come. I mean, who will be at my wedding? Who's going to be around to babysit the kids if I want some alone time? Will Julie and I really go across country as the icecream ladies and future old lady rockstars we always promised we'd be? Will Sketchy and I get a villa in Italy and be famous super models, lounging around all day in the sun when we aren't shooting for some famous magazing, like Vogue. We've already made an arrangement; she will do the dishes, I will clean the house, and we will both do the laundry. It works out well, since I hate doing the dishes.
Meeting people is spectacular. Someone I met at Mad4Mod a few months back gave me his number and his card, telling me to call him if I did make it to NY. I contacted him, and he emailed me about a great offer. It's for a resort wear company, and he said she's a friend of the family's and she specifically asked for someone who was a "natural blonde with great legs"...and thus, I was contacted. All I have to say is, thank GOD I have been going to the gym at least 6 times a week for two months straight. We'll see what happens, if she's interested, which I hope she is. But it's the beauty of an almost stranger helping me succeed that made me smile. Why can't more people be like that?

I am enjoying your writing, but am sad for you that your Walkabout is not very entertaining. However, I suppose we all have these experiences in our lives. It sounds like maybe you've at least met some great people and have looked at some good books in the meantime. You may even have picked up a few useful skills for later, you never know!
It is interesting to read your questioning of who you are and what will come of you. Reminiscing. Keep looking for the right thing for you. Yes, be wary of strangers giving you their card. Sorry, I had to say it. Just check it out and don't let that person be your primary contact there. Set some other stuff up too. I'm sure you've already thought of this. You are super smart after all! :) I'm sure a ton of other adults are telling you this as well.
You're almost there! Hang in there.
