Parting gift

Elizabeth is sending me off proper it seems.

She bought me a moleskine notebook and a small flask. The Moleskine notebook is actually very neat. I had no idea what it felt like to write on quality paper. It feels good using a Zebra pen. I wish that we still wrote like they did in the past with fountain pens. In general I wish that my writing we a bit more mature and elegant.

Anyhow, she is sending me off with the front page being occupied with a quote from my favorite book. It's quite appropriate for my life right now. I've spent a lot of time wandering and not really realizing my full potential. She, like a lot of other people in my life, see a lot in me and is helping me realize what I can do.

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish...The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
-Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"

Thank you Elizabeth.
I love you.

Almost gone..

I'll be heading out to LA tomorrow at noon.
I still have a couple things to take care of but I am mostly ready to go.

I still can't believe that I'm gonna be gone for two months. For someone like me who enjoys his surroundings and is a homebody at heart, it's going to prove to be quite difficult to get used to it.

Eh, I'm not sure though. I remember going to college and feeling a bit homesick even though I was only 35 minutes away. I got used to that though. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Couple of photos I took yesterday while gathering everything..
