Back From the Shire

Yes, as Ian calls it, I'm back from "The Shire." I went home to Iowa last weekend and spent some time in State Center. It felt good to be home as I hadn't been home since Thanksgiving. I spent a couple nights by myself; I love just sitting around and watching tv while I'm home. On Saturday night, Rachel and I headed to Iowa City to meet up with Jay. When we got to Iowa City, he greeted us in purposefully ripped jeans, a faux-mohawk, and a green and white striped rugby with the collar unfolded. Yeah.... Upon placing our bags in his room, we came to discover that he had a 10-week old Chihauha running around his room. The little bugger was quite cute and then we asked the name. The dog's fucking name is "Armani." Ok..this is definitely not the Jay I used to no. Ok, so he's gay now (he claims he's ONLY bi), but still! He never used to be really into fashion or anything of the like. And suddenly he names a dog Armani??? He's totally buying into the stereotypical gay culture.
That night we ended up going to a Gay Club. I had the fortune of seeing my ex-boyfriend dance groin to groin with other gay boys. I just kept wanting to tell them, "Hey! I'm his ex-girlfriend!" For the most part, Rachel and I just danced together, but later on some Indian boy started dancing with me, which was fun. At one point he turned me around, put his back to me, and he started getting down and was dancing against me. Heh, he was a better dancer than me.
So now I'm back. And it's sad. I want to be back home. I feel bad about staying away for so long for it's obvious my dad really misses me, though he never says. My dad and I have never had a relationship in which we really talked to one another; or at least we've never shared our feelings. And it's not like we've had a bad relationship; you couldn't be further from the truth. But as I spend more time away, I find that my dad and I are talking more. We're not sharing feelings or anything, but there's just more talking. It's nice, I enjoy it. That's all I'm going to say.
