Here, there, and everywhere

I am currently in Baltimore, Maryland visiting my friend Indigo. Tomorrow I'm taking a bus up to New York to see Patrick. This is a lot of fun. I am really excited and a titch nervous about going to NYC. I've never been before. I'm simply excited about meeting Patrick. I'll come back to Baltimore Monday evening, and on Tuesday begin my trip south, probably stopping in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia at least for a night. In addition to a special blog friend, I also have a cousin who lives there.

Indigo and I have had a great time together. I got here Wednesday late afternoon, and he and I went out for dinner. Later we watched a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 movie on DVD. (Very funny- the best way I know to make a bad movie good.) Thursday he worked all day, and we again had dinner out, including some really rockin' ice cream, then came home and watched a movie. Indigo took a day off work Friday and we went into the Inner Harbor area of Baltimore to the National Aquarium. That was very nice. Today was cloudy and rainy until late in the afternoon. He went to the gym for his weekly super-workout, I stayed here and played catch-up on a few of my favorite blogs. (Still have a lot more catching up to do. Don't expect to do much blogging until Thursday or Friday, after I get back home.) The rest of the day was basically chill-time. We fixed supper here, and later went out for some ice cream, then back to his house for another really goofy MST3K movie. Right now I'm trying to get some of my stuff packed up and decide what I need to have in NYC for an overnighter that will all fit into my bookbag.

It has been nice being here with Indigo because we have developed a good close friendship. It is good to have close friends. The blogs have been great about introducing me to so many wonderful people. Spending time in person, though, is a much more complete experience than just being good buddies on the blogs and in email. At least it has that effect on me and on the friendship with Indigo. Although I miss my family and am eager to get back to my beloved relations, I'm going to miss Indigo when I leave. I've had mixed emotions all day; excitement about a trip to NYC, excitement/anticipation about getting home again, but sadness about leaving Indigo. It' enough to wear a poor girl out!

The time has come for me to say goodnight. The sun has gone to bed and so must I. Good bye.
