Blurb My Brain:
It's such a weird feeling, this whole moving thing. I think it makes you much more philosophical. You start to appreciate things when everything you own is packed into 9 crates and hauled away into the sunset. Well the sunset thing wasn't exactly what happened, but we still had 9 crates. I probably had a crate to myself, but then I realized that all my belongings are not in just that one crate. I still had crates back in St. Louis, from when we moved to Germany and stuff was put into storage for us. So I began to philosophize about how much my perfectly average life is, well, perfectly average. I own a bunch of things, most of which I probably can do without. In fact, I HAVE done without for the last 3 years. This means I will more than likely end up throwing out a good chunk of whatever comes back from storage.
But when that time comes, I have a feeling it'll be like opening a time capsule. I always wanted to do one of those. I know it's corny and cliche, but I've always wanted to. The problem is that I'm never in one spot long enough to do anything like that. With my luck, I'd plan to do it, and then have no idea where to dig once the designated allotment of time has elapsed. But regardless, I'm going to probably post a bunch of pictures and give you all (23 of you, based on my facebook fans.. . seriously, just head over there and click "like" if you haven't already) a detailed rundown of the most significant findings.
Which somewhat reminds me, I will be having limited internet access (the hotel has free internet with the network cable about 15 feet long...SCORE!) once we get seriously moving on the road trip. Probably won't be updating very frequently, unless I can update from my phone at a McDonald's or something. But still, I promise I will be keeping you up to date depending on the availability.
Did you guys know that I journal as well? Ok, not as frequently, since I've been blogging, but I do tend to journal. I love it because as long as you have a pen, you have yourself a blog. My Average Alyssa life is going to be very well documented for when I get famous for something I haven't figured out is my passion. Besides talking about myself, which I do love to do, but unless I'm famous for something else, that won't make me famous. If you are still with me, you deserve a gold medal.

In case you were wondering, one of the first things that made me think of the Time Capsule aspect for Blurbing, is that I found some OLD pictures whilst moving. I was going to take a bunch of pictures, and then show you how incredibly dorky I was in high school and middle school, but I got busy, and didn't do so. BUT. I did take one photo. It was when I graduated Kindergarten. I'll commentate after the cuteness.

Yep. That's Me. I'm A-OK!
I forgot what the name of my school was... I know it was Oak...something. I have a hard time remembering it because my rival high school was Oakville, but I'm pretty sure it was Oakland. So the OK stood for Oakland Kindergarten. I refuse to think of it as such though. I definitely was OK to move on in the world. And the other kids at other schools with the other 25 letters of the alphabet were doomed from the start. So if you went to an "O" school, and your kindergarten also made your caps to brand you as "OK" then kudos for being dorky.
The other thing is, LOOK AT THAT OUTFIT! How ADORABLE! I was one cut scene away from a Sailor Moon episode! I want my daughter that I haven't had yet or may possibly never have to wear something JUST as adorable, so that when she's 21, and. . . technologically sharing with the world...she can have something to D-AWWWWWWWWW at as well. :)
