The Interstate My Home Tonight, For One More Long Night

Read: Jack Kerouac 'On the Road'
Listen to: MGMT 'Electric Feel'

Here we go again, with my deuxieme blog finally underway (well, OFFICIAL second one, the others are either deleted by me or blogger) and I'm a little excited. The recurring theme of this 'un is designed to pretty much be me musing on the delightful topics of music, fashion and books obviously making lists as i go as a side dish to the rather meatier 'emotional' issues I'll address in the other.

I'm getting this irrepressible itch to travel right now. Not because I'm unhappy here - every things actually pretty peachy here right now- but more that i get like this every so often. I just become restless with my corner of the world and these places i know too well. And somehow familiarity slips into something more wide eyed, and i just want to pack a bag and go! I would say drive, but that's not something I'm fortunate (or perhaps skilled) enough to have accomplished yet. I'm so excited about the idea of this summer, this is (as it stands) a rough idea of my itinerary:

The North:

New York City, NY - yes, the Big Apple, the quintessential big city. Can barely wait to experience all it in all its seedy glory.

Ithica, NY- small town (well, relatively) upstate, where friends reside, and its generally pretty quaint in its New England-ness

Trenton, NJ- New Jersey is often referred to as the 'arm pit of the USA' but my optimism primes me to be intrigued by it none the less

Washington DC- Capitol Hill, the White House, need i say more?

The South:

Atlanta, GA- Home of the Coca Cola museum (yes, that was what i thought too) and birthplace of R.E.M

St. Simons Island, GA- really beachy and lovely, from what our friends who live there tell me...i'll wager it beats Camber Sands

Nashville, TN- the home of country music! I've listened to enough Bob Dylan (<3)

Chattanooga, TN- Fort freaking Mountain. Yes, i'm nerding out over the Civil War memorabilia, Ms. A would be oh-so-proud

Tallahassee, FL- Less gross than Miami or South Beach, but still the Sunshine state

Charlotte, NC -anyone who's read Bill Bryson (and really everyone should) will be drooling at the very idea

(OH! and freeeaking Dollyworld)

Trying desperately to sort out some gap year stuff involving AIDs orphans in South Africa, because i've registered the memo from the big man upstairs and realised that I'm wanted out there...
