figuring out me...

am in the midst of an odd journey. started reading a book and am on day 5-ish to changing my life... honestly, i can already see that my 'goals' at day one will not be completely the same by day 30. some will remain- i'd like to be much further along on my studying, feel more comfortable in my own skin, have contemplated where to go for work/life/etc what with having finished my degree... but some things... they're changing in my heart even as i type.

realizing this now... well at least its only day 5-ish and not day 29 when i'm realizing it and had put forth energy and effort into it. so much to say and yet its kind of already not worth going into. what i can say is that yet again my friend chris has been tremendous help (in only one conversation) and i've found a new friend... who is freaking awesome. i don't know that if i've ever clicked this much this fast with anyone since peej. and since ryan and i talk (ahem-text) nonstop and hang out a lot.. he's filling my peej-void which has continued for far too long. not replaced mind you, just helped me feel less unusual and chaotic. were pj around that would happen a lot more. :)

and as music always plays a huge role in my life- thanks to the dixie chicks for this one... because i've never done it like anyone else and i doubt i'm going to start now... sometimes though i kind of wish i was a little less different...

the long way around -dc :)

my friends from high school
married their high school boyfriends
moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
where their parents live

but i, i could never follow
no i, i could never follow

i hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
lived like a gypsy
six strong hands on the steering wheel

i've been a long time gone now
maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
but I've always found my way somehow

by taking the long way
taking the long way around
taking the long way
taking the long way around

i met the queen of whatever
drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
moved with the shakers
wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to

no i, i could never follow
no i, i could never follow

it's been two long years now
since the top of the world came crashing down
and i'm getting' it back on the road now

but i'm taking the long way
taking the long way around
i'm taking the long way
taking the long way around
the long
the long way around

well, i fought with a stranger and i met myself
i opened my mouth and i heard myself
it can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
guess i could have made it easier on myself

but i, i could never follow
no i, i could never follow

well, i never seem to do it like anybody else
maybe someday, someday i'm gonna settle down
if you ever want to find me i can still be found

taking the long way
taking the long way around
taking the long way
taking the long way around
