away we go

So. I'm off to Alaska--where the temperature is apparently ranging between 24 and 75, which has led me to pack way too many clothes--for the next twelve days or so, and I'll have limited internet access so the relative silence on here will be continuing. Lately I've just been out of words, so at a loss for what to talk or write about, and I've been trying not to let it bother me too much and to just wait until it passes. I think this trip is exactly what needs to happen right now; I've been feeling a little disconnected, a little less maniacally joyful lately, but I'm imagining that when I return I'll be back to my cheesy wordy ways. So wish me luck, cross your fingers that I can make it through the next twenty hours or so on minimal sleep, and I'll see you in almost two weeks, a little dirtier and with a giant smile on my face.
