someday i want to gather together a few belongings that i can't live without, pick them up and move somewhere else. leave everything behind, not lose contact with family and friends, but just go somewhere else, somewhere strange and unfamiliar and sort of start over anew. see how i fare, if i can make it like that. it'd be nice if i had someone, a man who'd want to do that with me too. make it a little less scary, give me a little more confidence. then we'd start a life somewhere strange, somewhere new, maybe across the country, preferably somewhere foreign.

i don't know if i'll ever really do it, but... stick around in platteville, get my degree. graduate, and head out of town. take my computer, some clothes, a few other things, board a plane and leave. sounds like fun.

more than anything else, i think i want to do something sorta crazy like that.
