Travel-blog: Livonia, Michigan Day One.
Details:
* The flight was easy where I slept and barely woke up in time for feedings & such. Which makes me feel like a farm animal.
* Detroit’s Airport has gone absolutely fabu since I first moved from here 6 years ago. I’d take a date there.
* It’s a bitch waiting in the cold for the car rental shuttle to come getcha.
* It’s snowing. I like it. The cold air against my cheek makes me feel both shivery and very alive.
Differences:
* SF is and the bay area in general is curvy like my ass and belly unlike Michigan which is as flat as my chest.
* There are sooo many white people in Livonia. I mean really. Wow. White people everywhere.
* No vanity plates in Michigan. How refreshing.
* Every stripmall looks like every other stripmall for about a 10 mile radius around my home. I could get lost easily using them as landmarks.
Disappointments:
* I’ve missed the changing of the leaves and they’re already all on the ground.
* The trees are naked and look like thin, taut house wives who’ve had too many martinis.
* There are no thuggy white kids rapping next to the 8 mile road sign near my home.
Delights:
* Setting up my dad’s brand new computer and watching him grin like a little kid as he takes a mouse in hand for the very first time.
* Eating my step mom’s cooking. Damn good stuff. *DAMN* good stuff.
* Baking chocolate chip cookies and sharing good talks & memories with my best friend of over 20 years. Yes, over 20 years.
* Spotting a boy from Catholic Central with his varsity jacket on. *Man* Did I used to crush on those types of boys 10 years ago or so. It still makes my toes curl in giggly delight.
