Creating New Habits

Alright so the last time I wrote here I was telling you about beeing in Denver.

Well I left Denver and kept going east and ended up in Memphis Tennessee, now forgive me all eventual Tennessee readers but that town looked shaby. Nicest ppl I've meet in a long time but the town looked so run down it was sad. And the heat was unberable. Couldn't be outside, it was horrible.

Anyway spent a night there before running of east again this time the goal was Watertown New York State. Took me 5 transfers and 29 hours on a bus.

While waiting for about 2hours for the next bus in Syracuse I pick up my computer and start watching a movie that I have saved on to it. Pretty soon a young woman, very cute, walks over to me and asks if my computer are able to recharge her Ipod. I say yes and we begin talking and I tell her what I am up to, and she assumes that I am heading to New York. I tell her that I am not and that I don't plan on going there either. She tells me that I have to go there and that it's the best place on earth. So she offers to show me around there and gives me her number. Now I want some advice from you guys, shall I go for it? Or go somewhere else?

I fianlly made it to Watertown, only to be picked up by the famous Norse from Archmage back in the days. I meet him and the first thing we do is to go of to the pub to meet his brother and a couple of friends of his, and suddenly I have a screwdriver in my hand. Now I hadn't eaten for quite a while, that screwdrived hit me pretty good.
We go for some chinese food and then end up at his place and talk good old memories from Archmage.

Today was my birthday, so we sleept in and then we went for a 4 hour drive just lazily driving around watching the scenery and talking about this and that.

After a while we turn of the road and stops and he tells me that he want me to meet the person living there. So I follow him in and he askes the person living there if he knows who I am, supricingly he dosn't. When he is told that I am Archangels he is very suprised, it is another famous Archmage player, it's Sorrin one of the first guys I got to know in KSO. We don't stay long but Norse wanted us to meet atleast.

We keep on driving and around 6pm we are back at Norse place. 30 minutes later Seraphim is calling and tells us that he to is in Watertown. I knew that he was comming and I had told Norse about it, but he had apparently not taken that for real so he is suprised when Seraphim shows up. Anyway we find Seraphim and goes back to Sorrin and spend a couple of hours there talking about the good old days in KSO. It's the biggest KSO get-together since when I attended high school. And this time there were ppl there who had been in KSO longer than me. That was awesome.

On the way back to Norse place we stay and pick up some groceries, among other things Seraphim buys me a birthday cake. Very generous of him.

Tomorrow there is talk about going out to the Thousand Islands, but nothing is set in stone yet.

KSO stands for Knights of the Silver Order

I've been on the road for so long now that ppl will start hurting me if I don't start sharing a litle about what I have been up to.
Anyway first thing first

I havn't told you everything that is going on, but long story short I had to pospone my flight back to Sweden 10 days to feel that I had enought time to get back to Vancouver in time for my flight, apparently I couldn't change my ticket without just voiding it and buy a new one for over $1000. My advice to you, never fly Continental Airlines Ever

Anyway I started my trip of from Vancouver to Seattle and stayed the night with a friend of the family.

After that I took the bus south to California and meet the notorious Gullegumman... and helped him move out of his appartment. The smart dude timed his moving out to the same week as I came down so I was drafted to moving duty.
That meant that I had to sit and drive back and forth between the new place and the old place with stuff in a nice Swedish Volvo.

After that was done it was monday and he and his girlfriend were busy with everyday stuff.
So I explored thier new Village carefully, I was warned about Rattlesnakes and lost my appitite for adventures. Went back to thiere place and finished a book.

Word of the week, Shagnasty, anyone know what book that comes from?

On the thuresday, my last day in California we finally had time to do something. So we did what all americans does, we went for a drive and then we went shooting holes I paperpads. The next evening I left for Flagstaff and Grand Canyon.
My first view of the Grand Canyon was this literaly, this picture is taken 3 seconds after I saw the canyon for the first time.



Ended up in the same dorm as a gay guy who liked talking, with no connection to anything, when he started talking I stopped listening to anything. I was happy to get out of there, not of his sexuality but of his personality. He was quick to annoy me.

After Flagstaff I decided to go to Denver to see the arena of my team and some other stuff for shits and giggles.

No, my time in Vancouver and my Vancouver friends have not managed to convert me, I am still faithful.

Tomorrow we are off to new adventures east somewhere, we'll see where the bus stops tomorrow.

Okay just a quick update to let you guys know whats up. I am now out busing around the US and today on the first day I got all the way down to Seattle, a bus trip of 4h that took us 6h, 2h in the border control was way more fun than it sounds. The bus driver had tons of stories to tell about what has happened there over the years.

Anyway I arrived in Seattle and meet up with my friend and we spent the afternoon/evening looking at the sights in Seattle and Washington state. Tomorrow we will do the space needle before I jump onto the next bus, this time the goal will be Los Angeles and the notorious Gullegumman.



In America eat sugar ;)
