o, cult.

well. so much has happened since i last wrote. i had so much fun in baltimore that i almost fell apart. i had a wonderful drive through virginia and tenessee. i stayed in a house full of radical queer anarchist punk ladies. and i escaped a cult! whew. events.

the cult thing... i dont know. they were really nice. as individuals. mostly. they made good food. on paper they sound awesome. in real life... it was creepy. if i had a friend with me, it would have been different. good fodder for a future story, for sure. i kept thinking i would stay either as an excercise in open-mindedness, or so i could tell a good story later... but i didn't really want to stay. especially with no other human to look at like, "hey- this is crazy, right?"

anyway. now its like all bets are off. i don't know what i'm doing. i feel like i really have to choose one way or the other- traveling adventure or farm apprenticeship.... but in the meantime, i think i might go to a radical fairy farm. where the fancy gays farm and ferment food and play and dance and make art... that sounds so much more awesome, no? so i'm going to look into that possibility today.

i'm staying in the house with the rad ladies for now. one of them plays accordion- really well- and one just started playing banjo so i'm actually helping! and one makes kimchi and sour kraut and last night i learned how to crochet! so its cool for now but i don't want to overstay my welcome plus i want to farm.

i think i'll try the radical fairy farm, but i also need something to change. i really want a traveling partner if i'm going to have adventures. it makes everything so much more fun- DO YOU WANT TO COME WITH ME?! please tell me.
OR i need to sit down seriously and apply for real internships where i'll learn to be a farmer like farm school.... so something. but i know i want to be in chicago for halloween, so i don't know if i'll make firm choices before then... who knows really....
anyway... that's where i'm at. i'd like to write more, but i'm on a timed internet session in the anarchist bookstore in asheville and its almost that time.
so, much love <3
