yes, folks, you read it right. i currently reside in the state of maine! it's so.. NOT ME.. but hey, when the bright light flashes on, you can't help but move toward it, even though it might not be the fate that you wanted.
and no, my boyfriend living in virginia is not the only reason why i say this. there's family (of course), friends, familiar environment (although sometimes it's not a bad thing to be adventurous and wander about unknown territory), better weather (not as of late with the horrendous flooding and constant rain - mother nature has certainly not been happy this year!), cultured life (bangor has not really progressed to the present times or so i've been told by a few), and the list goes on!
regardless, i've accepted the fact that i am going to be a mainer for a little while. it's not so bad now, but boy, when winter comes roaring up that northeast coastline, i am doomed (who wants a frozen trangsicle for dessert!?)!
i found a nice apartment in the downtown area (aahh, civilization!), close to restaurants and bars, which, i'm praying, will make my life more sane. thanks to stan for helping me move up here (poor guy for driving from philadelphia to bangor with a uhaul and my car strapped to the ass of it).
the people here are quite friendly, though sometimes i think they look at me funny.. because.. maybe i'm asian..? i have no clue. i told my boss that and he laughed.. i couldn't really interpret what kind of laughter it was - either it was true or he found my way of thinking humorous. either way, it seems alright so far. and oh, the shopping is ridiculous.. and not ridiculous in a good sense. the newest arrival (three months ago) to the mall is express. REALLY?! online shopping it is!
first day of work starts tomorrow, and i am going to husson university with the boss to speak to the students for a round table activity - a fun first day, i'd have to admit!
photos of my apartment (soon-to-be completely finished) coming soon! and oh yes, to my friends reading.. COME VISIT ASAP! :)
