CharleystonSo I slept through my first-ever hurricane. Good ol' Charley wiped out Florida but was just a little wind & rain by the time it arrived in Charleston at about 8am today. Now it's a pretty decent beach day (but I'm avoiding that impulse - probably not a good idea).
I went bowling a couple nights ago and scored a 20. Yes. 20. How is it exactly that I'm the worst player of any and all sports? How can one person be so totally athletically inept? I mean, I work out often and dance and everything, but when it comes to throwing or hitting or rolling balls I just can't handle it.
I'm having a good time, but I miss the people in Bloomsburg, I really do. Not really the town itself - I dig Charleston more than Bloom - but those people were wonderful to work with. Sigh. I need to find a way to meet more people I have something in common with - the random friends that Ryan and my other buddies make are not necessarily my peeps. My peeps are not the ones I would meet in bars, so where does one go to make new friends? I have 9 more months with these people and I don't want to get sick of them.
I think I'm gonna go to Marybeth's (my boss) hippie intellectual church tomorrow morning - should be fun. Maybe my peeps are there.
