   Gotta Get Outta Here!

Vaaarooom! I had a very fun conversation last night with a dear friend of mine and it appears that I might be abducted for a while in September. This abduction-in-the-works would, of course, include lots of traveling. I am very much looking forward to this and really hope ::crosses fingers:: that it all works out so I can go. I need to get out of my one horse town. Oh, did I mention I will be traveling in the company of some very handsome men? Am I a lucky girl or what! ~_^ All this thought of travel reminded me of a song that I really like. It's by Mark McGuinn and it's called "That's a Plan". It pretty much sums up how I felt, and at time still feel, about my hometown. Anyone who lives in a tiny rural town probably feels this way! This small town ain't such a bad little place It's home but I could sure use some place City limit signs are closing in on me There's times I swear I can hardly breathe I'm gonna pack my bags, say my good-byes Get a map and close my eyes Point my finger, let fate decide Where I'm gonna land I'm gonna hitch my wagon to a wandering star A guy like me can sure get far With a little gas and a credit card Now that's a plan Yeah that's a plan These dirt roads all look the same I wanna see the world from a faster lane And I know for a while I'm gonna be big news But life will get back like it was real soon I'm gonna pack my bags, say my good-byes Get a map and close my eyes Point my finger, let fate decide Where I'm gonna land I'm gonna hitch my wagon to a wandering star A guy like me can sure get far With a little gas and a credit card Now that's a plan Yeah that's a plan Well I'm sure I'll come back here once again When I finally settle down but till then I'm gonna pack my bags, say my good-byes Get a map and close my eyes Point my finger, let fate decide Where I'm gonna land I'm gonna hitch my wagon to a wandering star A guy like me can sure get far With a little gas and a credit card Now that's a plan Yeah that's a plan Now that's a plan Since I am in such a travel mood I should have an appropriate bishie break to go with the theme of today's post! I'll go on a road trip with these boys any day! Now for my question of the day. When you were little, heck, even now- do/did you ever think of running away from home? Just packing up and leaving all the stress and craziness of your life behind and starting new someplace where no one knows you? Have you ever attempted or succeeded at running away from home? I'm gonna pack my bags, say my good-byes... Now I have to admit when I was little I did run away from home. I made it to the end of my family farm and hung out for the day by the canal. I pretty much got tired, hungry and a bit freaked out by the thought of trying to make it on my own. So, I walked back to the house. As an adult the thought of running away was always very tempting. I remember in college being stressed about money, work, studies, relationships...it was very tempting to just run away and start over. Never did. I stuck it out and made it through. I have pretty much outgrown the idea of running away from home...but a vacation would be nice. Needless to say, this semi-scheduled abduction in September better happen or I am going to be really disappointed! I hate it when plans to get together with friends fall though. Well, at least between now and then I have Sakura-con coming up in April which I will be hanging out with some of you guys from theO. Oh, and my dear Japan, I will be bringing Kare Kano vol 13 and 14 for you to read. ^_^ I expect all of you near Seattle in April to be at Sakura-con ready to hang out with me!! You know you want to be in my Panda Posse to roam the convention halls being the Otaku-ites we are! We can all dodge the HOBO's together! (HOBO stands for Horrible Otaku Body Odor...many times at conventions there are people who forget to bathe and end up stinking...bad...REALLY bad. Take the paint off your car bad. No joke.) Safety in good smelling numbers! As long as we are together the HOBO should hopefully stay away! Ok, enough of this madness. I am off to finish up my new wallpapers and greetings. Hope the week is going great for you and I will be chatting with you guys later. Love you lots...you Panda-philes. ~_^
