i haven't been online in about a million years, so i could write about a million things that have built up in my mind because they have no place to go.

i am moving off the farm. i'm conflicted about leaving, but it's for the best. i need a place in town so i can get around on my bike and get a real job. it's funny, though, i gave the old ladies my month's notice and now that i'm leaving, i find myself opening up to them and talking and laughing and enjoying their company. is it always like that, or is it just me?

also, i'm going home to Philly for thanksgiving. so i can see all the angry siblings whose phone calls i ignore. but i write them letters, so they have no need to be angry. just because i'm not into their technological doodads like the telephone and email doesn't mean i don't love them... or maybe it does?

oh ho! see how i sowed those seeds of doubt at the end of that paragraph? it takes a very talented writer to do something like that.

i saw a dead deer at the side of the road on my grueling ride into town today. i was thinking about stopping to see if it was still warm but there's no way i'm touching a dead deer. plus that seems kind of morbid, right?

and yes i do have a jesus face medallion. my friend (who used to be in a gang in D.C.) has this medallion that is just a big jesus head, with the crown of thorns and all. he used to wear it, even though he claims he's never been religious. anyway, i love it because it's totally cheesy and stupid and i asked him for it and he gave it to me. so now i carry my jesus head in my pocket, everywhere i go. it's about the size of a small police badge (but it's not flat, it's 3-D), so i sometimes flash it and say i'm the jesus police. ho ho ho! jesus police! i'm the funniest.
