homesick?

I've been being eerily nostalgic recently. Remembering strange things from my not too distant childhood and missing them - and getting all misty and weepy eyed about it. Walks to the park. Bike trips to Walgreens. Watching strange t.v. shows and believing that's what real life was like. Reading a paragraph of a book outloud in 3rd grade English class (specifically Black Beauty.) Playing bubble ghost and matterhorn screamer on my first computer. I don't know where this has come from. It's incredibly strange and making me feel incredibly homesick - which is a strange feeling. I'm not sure I've ever been homesick in my entire life. I have always loved home - but I've always equally loved adventures away. I figure it's just the winter weather getting to me. I hope that's all it is.

JP is gonna move in. Which is exciting. My HOPE is that it will be akin to the 100 acre wood. I mean - nothing will EVER be the 100 acre wood. That was a singular unique experience where I made life long friends - but I do hope that I will have more of a"family" - JP is kinda my very --- er---- glittery? musical? gay (but not)? NYC brother? Who plays fierce piano and can give great vocal coaching! For FREEEEEE! He also likes to cook - REAL FOOD - so hopefully real meals will be order - and I like his friends - they are intelligent interesting talented people - MY AGE - which is very nice. So hopefully I won't dread coming home for fear my roommate will be home. I suppose - I should also hope he isn't ALWAYS home -I do enjoy my alone time! But I suppose that is what my room is for. And he assures me he enjoys hibernating with his computer as well - playing interactive role playing games (or something - like world of warcraft?) so - computer hibernating will still be in effect.

I suppose Kat and Cara being gone add to my feeling of homesickness. Without them - and with Rienking's impending departure in two weeks - and Amanda always a school - My NYC family is - er - not in NYC. I mean - I have plenty of other wonderful friends - Alena and Laura for example - but they have always been friends - not family - but that can always change. Theya re indeed wonderful.

Today was Austin's last dance class for a while taht he is teaching. It was great - because before class overheard some other dancers talking about me calling me Miss Legs - and talking about my crazy long legs. (My legs aren't crazy long - but they are flexible and go up high - it is often confused - lol.) Still - it made me happy!:)

And work tonight was fairly awesome. Two people gave me massages - and I was fed cookies and two different types of cake - whilst I sang in annex 1 and buffed the floor - and was told how fabulous my voice sounded. Minus the floor buffing - it was a little bit of heaven. haha. Very strange - work is rarely that heavenly - but I thought - it was worth taking note of the fact that it was tonight.

Alright - off to start a new week!:)
