wow, it's been so long since i've updated my journal. it's funny how after a certain amount of time, it gets easier to stay away. maybe it's kind of like getting over a breakup? maybe not...but my thoughts are random tonight.

it's a sultry summer night, although it's still may. barely. i'm in a tank top and shorts, lounging around my apartment for what might be the last time ever, since i'm moving to maryland this saturday. my new apartment is walking distance from work, and the rent is a few hundred dollars cheaper... plus it's a short term sublet so i don't have to commit to another year. while i've immensely enjoyed my stay in the washington dc metro area, i am so looking forward to moving back to LA at the end of the year. i miss it! i can't wait to rediscover LA... i've never really lived at home since i went away to college, so i don't know any of the cool hangouts or places to go... and i can't wait to find out! :)

but 'til then, i'm still an east coast babe, and i'm determined to take full advantage of it while i can (case in point: for memorial day weekend a couple of my girl friends and i went down to south beach! and i'm considering a trip to europe this fall... and i'll probably squeeze in another nyc outing or two before i move back). :) yay! i think i'm an unwitting travel buff -- i didn't know how much i loved it until i realized how much of it i do.
