Sound and Safe

I finished the second leg of my fantastic journey today and arrived in Portland in one piece (thank goodness since I had a rather touch-and-go experience with my car...clutch + cruise control = near disaster). Regardless of any mishaps, it was a lovely drive and it went by really quickly. I listened almost exclusively to David Sedaris' "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim." He really is a fabulously witty writer. I felt a little self-conscious at moments realizing what a fool I must look like to passersby-- driving alone in my car, muching on a Luna bar, laughing hysterically. Ah well, no shame here.

As I'm sitting here propped against a pillow, sitting on my sleeping bag on Kate and John's couch again, it's hard not to feel like a visitor in Portland. I think the "move" wont really set in until I finally get into a new house. I think my mind honestly believes that I'm supposed to be back in LA in a week and a half. It's so weird then to not have any real plans at all.

Well, not much to report otherwise. I'm missing my LA life a lot, but also looking forward to a new start.
