pasttimes

i'm laying in bed, trying to fall asleep;

i miss home; thinking of family,

and things we've done together that make me smile:

-spring break in florida;

-65 hour round trips to california;

-walking around the Vegas Strip with my sister at night, watching the Bellagio fountains;

-sitting around with brother, sister, and mother, late at night, talking about relationships and dating;

-thousand-piece puzzles;

-chinese buffets and yummy steakhouses;

and countless others...

in the last 4 years, i have never had a longing to go home, to be with family...until now.

spring break is a month away...=/

michael,
i have no siblings, so i can't say i share those bro/sis memories. but i so feel you on the in the past 4 years i never felt a longing for home, yet somehow since i moved here, all i can think of is being home. don't know what's in the water.

i'm wondering if another part of it is like the homesick kings of convenience lyrics:

"a song for
someone who needs somewhere
to long for

homesick
cause I no longer know
where home is"

that's all.
miss you, mj
