clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am

So if you haven't heard by now I am moving. haha hard to imagine you not hearing since I've been throwing that out there daily. But if you didn't know, now you do!

I have a feeling once I move, or while I'm in the process of moving I'm going to be blogging a lot more.

I am moving to Bloomington Indiana. "Why Indiana??" you might be asking yourself. Well my older brother Bill got into Indiana University-Law and asked me to move out there with him and his gf Teener (Christina). I had very little notice (about two months from hearing about it to doing it) and I applied to Ivy Tech (a community college) out there and obviously got in (who doesnt?) for biotechnology. So I said yes to the move.

I am notorious for picking up and moving to some far away land with no notice so I'm trying to make sure all my friends are aware that I'm moving. Obviously my closest friends I told in person or via..can you believe this..phone! But just incase somehow you didn't get the memo or you wanted more details, this blog is for you.

I am moving into a college town that is full of culture. They have everything you can imagine there, kind of like south florida without me being a minority. The Dali Lama's brother owns a resturaunt a few blocks from my apt. and he comes and eats there. Bloomington is the only place in the United States with a monistary. So there are robed monks walking around. There is a HUGE gay population and arts/music population there. Most of the town residents are multi-millionares and are famous for something in the arts/academic world. John Cougar Melloncamp lives there as well. Most people bike where they are going there so that will be refreshing! AND boys listen up! It's rated Playboys #4 hottest campus in the world. haha meh.

I am moving June 30th so if you would like to hangout, go to kings, go swimming, whatever... before I move I would love to see you! I am housesitting until Sunday but I can go out and hang for a few hours.

I have my address out there and my apt already. (LETTERS AND CARE PACKAGES ARE WELCOME AND RETURNED!), it's a 6 1/2 to 7 hour drive to Bloomington from Franklin and YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME STAY WITH ME! I am about 30 minutes from Indianopolis and two hours from Chicago. My bedroom is 10'x16' so I will have plenty of room for you to visit.

I am really going to miss Franklin and my friends. I really wasn't looking to move, I am very content here. I am in love with this town. But socially everything is always so messed up and I suppose it will do me good to get out of that drama/contention/whatever for a while and progress with school and expand in new social circles. But I am going to miss my nearest and dearest here so please please please find the time to come visit me. please.

I have been to Bloomington, IN once. My friend lived there and worked at IU, so I had to go and attend her wedding before her and her husband started working for the State Department/Foreign Service. Anyway, it was an amazingly little town in the middle of nowhere with so so so much to do. You'll love it there. Think Franklin, but bigger, and with culture.

I am so glad to hear from someone who has been there. I keep hearing amazing things about the place so I have high expectations! How are you doing Jason? I haven't seen you in a while. I hope everything is going well!
