8 hours + green buick + nervous me + a case of diet coke = love? or perhaps, fate fulfilled?

for what its worth, i have an interview tomorrow.

i will drive 4 hours into the unknown.

into the spacious, slightly populated state called south dakota.

it will be my first attempt at landing a real job.

i will drive 4 hours home

and return to my feeble attempts of creating a fantasy world that includes me being happy, carefree, successful, and loved.

although, as may draws near, reality (i'm afraid) will end up slapping me in the face. and i will wake up.

life isn't always fun. i learned that long ago.

thankfully, my mommy is coming with me to keep me company. and you thought i was a grown up! silly you.
