So, today is the day. It's 5 in the morning, I'm so super tired, and I can't sleep. In a few hours, I go to Charlotte airport, fly to Cincinatti, fly to London, then ride to Cardiff. I will have plenty of time to sleep, right? Somehow, I doubt that it will work that easily. The night before I leave anywhere for a long time is always just...really weird.
Anyway, I'll be back on July 1st. My 22nd birthday is on June 24th, so if anyone would like to send me something, I would love (probably more then you realize) to recieve a hand-written letter at my house in Raleigh when I return. Tell me anything and everything that you want to. The address is:
Kevin Sykes
8905 Jeanew Ct.
Raleigh, NC 27613
Since I've been at home, I've mostly been rushing around cancelling stuff, dealing with the subletter (sp?), doing Wales "homework", organizing things, packing, etc. It's been hectic when I've really just wanted to lay around and do absolutely nothing with friends and family. However, there have been some highlights:
*Bike riding - I hadn't done it in a long time, but this past week, I have been riding to the lake in my neighborhood every day that rain isn't pouring down. I also went riding around NC State's campus with Philip one day and later by myself, Lake Lynn, which sucked because every stupid person in town walks there and you have to stop while they realize how stupid they are. That's been a fun discovery though, and I hope to continue in Boone. Picture of the lake in my neighborhood:
*Visiting with my grandparents (my mom's parents) - I love seeing them every time. We always have so much to talk about, and I often feel like I have more in common with them than my parents. Last night, we went out to eat at Casalinga, which is basically the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to.
*40's in the street: one night, Cassie, Jacob, Will, Simmons, Ben, Hannah, and I hung out. Most of us got 40's, we dumpster dove and found a pinapple and cash register, we were "attacked" by a beast that was a possessed owl at the very least, and got my boombox. Singing "Kiss From A Rose" (hereby known as KFAR because I'm lazy and moreso because I'm dumb), "Another Night", and other 90's classics as loud as possible while drinking 40's, eating pinapple, and sitting on the pavement near Ben's house at very late hours was a major achievement, I feel.
*Hanging out with Philip: We biked to Golden Dragon and Schoolkids Records, played guitar hero and foosball, and caught up. It was really great.
*Seeing Garrett and Leah: We talked and played Rayman something or other on Wii. It was relaxing and good to be with them.
*Tonight, Jacob, Will, Simmons, Ben, Cassie, Kristen (gahhhh, I'm so glad you came, you're super awesome and the best also!), and I pitched a tent in Cassie's yard and sat around inside of it while it rained outside. We drank wine and such and played what in my mind was very beautiful music. The Semen Song/Nipples Encore made my life complete probably. As did our version of KFAR and others. It was just a really really cool thing to happen on the last night. Why don't we hang out like that all the time? Let's start.
For now, though, I'm gone. I love you. |
