Journal ParticleGirl's Journal: The Makings of a Great Summer 1
This is shaping up to be a great summer. I will be relaxing (classes, over, job winding down, apartment beginning to be packed) over the next two weeks, as I bunny-sit for a friend. Has anyone else noticed that rabbits are little organic vacuum cleaners/wood chippers? It's eaten the buttons off my remote control and taken chunks out of my papasan. I think it's developed a taste for bamboo.
After that I will take a trip down to Pittsburgh and hopefully find someplace to live. I hope I find somewhere I'll like to stay for a few years; something I can afford but which is comfortable. Preferably with hardwood floors and lots of windows. Wish me luck.
For the 4th of July I am visiting my parents-- long conversations and afternoons on a sailboat, smelling the salty air. I really miss the sea. That's one of the big regrets (insofar as it's actually a regret-- I dont regret my decision, just passing up some of the things I will miss) in picking Pittsburgh over Boston. It will be years yet since I can live near the sea again.
The rest of the summer will be great-- a week of an old friend visiting; my brother in town for a weekend; a Guster concert; a ten-year reunion; kite flying; movies in the park-- all that Ann Arbor has to offer in the summer, I look forward to drinking in before I move to Pittsburgh. I love Ann Arbor in the summer. I grew up on the eastern edge of a time zone, where it got light in the wee hours of the morning and dark after dinner. Ah, the joy of living on the western edge of a time zone! To not be woken up by the sun, to have bright sunlight past 10 in the evening. I get out of work and have hours of daylight to enjoy. I love it.
I suppose I'll have to live on a west coast at some point, where I can have both the late light and the sea.

Rabbits (Score:2)
My sister had one named muppy (my dad named it). It would chew up everything. It's favorite thing was phone cords.
Good luck on the move.
