Seward Or Bust
Getting ready for my trip back to Baltimore for the holidays. Really looking forward to Annie and Owen, my folks, my family. It will be nice to be near my roots.
The best part is, I am not going back to Houston.
I am pretty much paranoid that if I go back to Houston I will not want to leave....that would create all kinds of problems for me.
On a lighter note, I got a new job here in Seward! I am working at the Teen and Youth Center. It's actually a city job, but way laid back and I get to work with kids. Tonight, for instance, I played in a teen pool tournament. This is my job.
Tough, huh?
Fresh snow has fallen, and we are loosing daylight here pretty fast. At Winter Solstice we get about 4 hours of sunlight a day. Then, during Summer Solstice, we only get about 4 hours of darkness.
Alaska is a place of extremes. Extreme weather, extreme terrain, and extreme living conditions. Feast of famine, as they like to say here. In many ways I feel like I fit here. And in many ways I feel a bit shut off from the world around me. Should I find myself needingcitification, Anchorage is just a few hour away. There is always the option of moving there, but how John factors into this is complicated. I'm not sure if he would want to move to Anchorage, and if he and I aren't together, fuck it, I'll move to Austin....or Houston....or New York....or Baltimore.
You get the picture? It's Seward or bust.
