"As un-american as British Apple Pie" (or) "Back in the US of A"

San Francisco had a very misty, foggy, earthy lilt in the air as I got back last night. It had been a long, long day of traveling. While I don't really mind all that much, there is something about airports that truly makes you feel as though you aren't anywhere. Eternity's waiting room. It seems incredible that it just over 3 weeks ago yesterday that I decided to take a trip to the UK, that 2 weeks ago today, I landed in Gatwick and spent my first day in Lewes. A very lovely town, really. I am very relieved that my travels, though initially marred by a surreally grueling trip to England, did not continue in that vein. I have found an excellent collaborator in my friend, and it is a colossal relief to have someone I can trust enough to go with through this writing process. As it turns out, (gasp) is IS OK to want to have someone to write with! Being emotionally vulnerable is still pretty new to me, and that aspect of spending time in close proximity with someone about whom you cave very much can be a bit of an uncertain game. Thankfully, it is made less of a dangerous issue when communication is as open as it needs to be, yet emotional privacy is lent when needed. It is a remarkable thing to know that someone can think you are still an OK person even when you are being strange. Or that they don't really think that you are that strange at all, really. It is also a little disheartening to realize how much you have missed something from your life....simple affection, for example, and how even something as sweet and soothing as curling under a blanket, sipping tea and watching a documentary can make you feel like a whole new person. I got to go into London a couple of times: once to see a production of Carmen at the Opera, and once to hang out with a friend recently transplanted to London for school. But oh my holy GODS is it expensive to just go about daily business there! It hardly helped that the exchange rate keeps slipping against the pitiful USD. I will say that I am now severely addicted to the Mark's & Spencer Shortcrust Bramley Apple Pie. HOLY FUCK THAT IS A FUCKING ASSKICKING PIE. I went through quite a bit to bring several of these home with me. One went to my friend who looked in on my cats. The others are whispering evilly in my fridge. One just went into the freezer, for later. I also was totes p0wned by...a biscuit. While down in Brighton having tea with my friend's Mum and stepdad, she broke out the seriously big guns, in the form of a shortbread square covered in caramel and topped with chocolate. This fancy-ass treat was, of all places, from Tesco and was so good I had to maintain my composure from eating them all right there in front of everyone. But that was OK, because I got a shitload of them to bring back with me. Aha! SO, here I am. ....now what.....  Mollena
