Already Gone.

Mom: "Well this is going to be your last weekend at home, and I want you to enjoy it."

And boy, am I ever glad it will be. I've got plans for this summer, and staying in this piece of shit town isn't one of them. Let's see.... I'm going to North Carolina, Seattle, and Dallas. And my sister is coming in from Dallas to stay for a month.

I'll get to go to the gym every day and I'll get to go to the fights every weekend.

I'll make new friends this summer, and I'll learn more about life in one day in Manchester than I could ever learn in ten years in A-ville.

We're going out on the lake, having cook outs, and I'm going to Covington to see the family some. Also, Chelsey is coming up from Mississippi to see me and I haven't seen her since Christmas.

The only thing that could make this summer better is if I got to see Tyler graduate. And I think he understands why I can't be there.

But even if I do miss it, there's all summer for me to see my brother before he leaves.

Summer 2010 is looking pretty damn good. ♥
