I will miss you....

For the first time in my life I have a huge twinge of longing to go back to Minnesota. I could have stayed a month. I think this is the first time I have left knowing that a full time job with little to no more time off in the next year awaits me. (Ug how I loathe schedules and having to work!) I love New York because of my friends and the new people I meet constantly; however, I think I am made to live in a less stressful environment. I quickly pick up on the nervous energy in the city, and I think it has a negative affect on my general health and person as a whole. Sitting in my backyard, reading, being with my family- it was wonderful. I’m sure I will be in the City for quite some time, but I am not a “life-er”. At some point I will need space, trees, water, relaxation, and I will need it more than just a weekend vacation.


In other news I finished the last and final installment of Harry Potter (in two days – it felt like two hours). It ended perfectly and I loved it. I find in incredibly odd that right-wing freaks are so opposed to the series. It is a classic tale of good vs. evil, and it doesn’t get much more biblical than the (STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT YET) “laying down one’s life for another” theme. I also get annoyed with people “too intellectual” and dislike it because, I think, the mass popularity. No, you will not find some enlightenment in the final installment, but it is damn entertaining. I find that most people against Harry Potter (in both the religious and snob parties) haven’t bothered to read the book. I think it says volumes about the person and the opinions they form/information they gather in general.

So whatever nah-sayers, just read and enjoy.

(P.S. I also am over the "I read the last 5 pages" group of you as well.... that's just wrong.)
