I am back at home at the moment visiting my family right now. I am having an early thanksgiving next week since I am here and I can not come back for the actual event. The trip has had its ups and downs. I have been working on my brothers car since it needs some maintenance. It always seems to break down about a week before I get here. The weather has been pleasant though and I have been doing stuff with my parents. I went ice skating a couple nights ago, and that was fun. I have not done it in years, but it is a little strange to go ice skating now that I have been living in LA, the room felt pretty cold. I guess living in southern California has made me a bit soft temperature wise. We have watched some DVDs and played miniature golf. Also ate some sushi since no one else except my mom likes fish so she really only goes when I am here. We are going up to Mt. Hood on Monday, and that should be interesting. I have never actually managed to go up there even though I lived in Washington for 6 years, and now my parents have lived here for 8 years. It is sort of amazing how time flies.
When did I become 24, it really does not seem like all that long ago... There are times though when it does, coming back to Washington normally means a trip up to Seattle at some point to visit people up there. The brings some unpleasing memories up though, some shit hit the fan my senior year of college and for quite some time I was broken inside. I have since put the pieces back together since then, and in some ways I am better now than I was then since I learned from the experience. But every once in awhile when I see something that reminds me of what happened, or when I am actually going back to were it happened I feel an ache, something cold inside. Not that I am trying to be melodramatic.
I guess R.E.M says it best with Everybody Hurts
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on
'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone
