Life on A Train.

I have spent a lot of my time on trains lately. From going to Connecticut every week, to the 15 hour train ride to South Carolina. Maybe I have a career as a conductor in the future? Okay maybe not.



I am very sleepy. Trying to get some shut eye on a crowded amtrak train is very hard to do. I sat next to a very nice college guy who spent most of the train ride texting and watching movies on his laptop. The train was relatively quiet outside of some outburst from children and some crazy (and potential) drug dealer a few seats back talking on the phone. Something about her (yes her) saying "if you don't get my money I will get my boys on you" drew me to that conclusion.



I spent most of my time, not writing, not reading but instead texting Marie and my mom and trying to find a way to position my body in a way that would bring about sleep. But I nothing worked. I'd get a good hour of something that resembled sleep and then BAM....awake again.



So currently I am in bed. Ready to fall into one of the best sleeps I have had in 3 months. My body has spent that many months sleeping on a very uncomfortable couch in my very uncomfortable living situation. But for now, I am home in a full size bed, with three fluffy pillows cradling my head. My mom made soup, my brother and I played Rock Band and the adapter for my computer works. Life is good.

In other news:



I'm glad there is interest in this GREAT MIX CD EXCHANGE! I am excited about this. Very excited and Xmas is the perfect time to send them out and stuff. I figure those who want to participate can leave their email address in the comments (which will be deleted as soon as I have it written down). Or I could just post my email address ( Postscript: the one I just created for this particular project). I don't know. Let me know which is better.

I think they should then be sent out the week of Christmas. The theme is yours to choose from so you can be as creative as you want. I would love to know what type of music you all are listening too, or what type of songs you'd think I'd like. My mix tapes will be a mix of the two, based on who I am composing the track list for. Obsessively I have 'known' some of you longer than others (Jon, Frogboots) but don't fret the mix cd's will still be intimate and personalized!

Post your emails as soon as you can (I will leave mine up for the weekend, which you can access from my profile), so I can successfully send these out in time (I have a serious case of procrastination. It may be a life long disorder).

A real post tomorrow, for sure. I have not forgotten the list of things I want to write. But for now sleep, a mighty good sleep if I do say so myself.
