I must try to make this quick - the library is closing.
A very, very long drive. Fourteen hours through Atlanta, mountains, Tennessee (and all of its mountaintop fireworks shops), Kentucky, endless Illinois (including Metropolis, the proud home of Superman), and flat, green Missouri.
Days on the lake near a permanent carnival of a town.
Surprisingly, people in Missouri have accents. More surprisingly, that surprised me.
The sun set three times.
An overnight drive back.
I finally saw the Mississippi River.
I must leave now.

This is Me
- No Direction Home
- I'm twenty-odd years old, and most of those years were spent learning. I live in rural Georgia, but am currently trying to simultaneously earn my BA and MA in Comparative Literature at the University of Georgia. My interests include the myth of altruism, the fight against hypocracy, and the color purple. I'm a little too self-centered, and not very sorry if I bore you.
"Try as I may, I'll never be your red, red rose. / A rose is a rose is a rose. And you know it." - Wislawa Szymborska
