thejunipertreebaby, baby
ain't it true?
I'm immortal,
when I'm with you.
But, I want a pistol
in my hand.
I want to go to
a different land.
I'm beginning to get Ye Olde Travelling Bug again. Given the state of my finances at the moment, this doth sucketh verily. I specifically would like to take the Engineer to New Orleans, because it is one of my favourite cities in the world and I'd like him to see it. But, I'd also like some national jet-setting totally by myself.
There's is nothing quite like the feeling of travelling completely alone. I'm almost junk-sick at the idea that I haven't done it in a very long time. Well, I've hauled myself up to NYC all by my lonesome (and with companions) on more than one occasion, but that's kind of like eating a candy bar when it's eight in the evening and you haven't eaten since eleven that morning. It cuts the edge off and that's about it. Likewise the trip to Vegas in April. That one was far enough away to really feel like a journey, but it was only for three days (not that I could have handled much more of Las Vegas after three days, talk about sensory fucking overload).
Thee Pumpkin Girl and I had discussed, long ago, doing another road trip to see Pedro's South of the Border (since some very mean ex-roommates of mine wouldn't stop there when we were driving to South Carolina; I'm looking at your husband, Rhiann). But again, finances. Coupled with the fact that I can't really leave this area for any good length of time right now because of my mother's health.
Beyond that, I'd still really enjoy getting in my car and just driving alone and aimlessly for a few days. Nothing but me, my cigarettes, and the Black Beast of Calcutta (my Caddy).
Maybe I'd bring Simon the Wonder Rat, too. He's the best rat in the world. But, don't tell any of my other rats I said that. It wouldn't be kind.
