Defining me

I have had this fascination about ice-skating. If you have ever seen ice-skating in the olympics you would know what I mean. You can't just sit there and not get absorbed in a beautiful ephemeral word (and I do so hope that is the correct word.) Guess what!! I got a chance to try it out myself. And even though I would have been quite the hippopotamus on skates, I had a great time trying something out which ....even in my wildest dreams I never thought I would get a chance to do. All thanks to Ramya. :)

In the last weekend that has been, (Labor day weekend) I have rediscovered myself and Tucson in many ways I had not thought possible. And yes, since the place is always defined by the people, you can say there are more than one responsible. There were 5 of us who hung out this weekend, with chats extending nearly till 2 in the night. If anything, it was reliving college. Life takes your breath away when you least expect it to.

Seattle gave me on one hand and took away with the other. (I have composed and recomposed this line so many times, its now almost a part of me. ) I agree I am always the complaining, whining depressive mode person, but Seattle saw me in my worst element. So why did I fall in love with Seattle ... it made me realize I can come out of a crisis alone, without whining to someone. It gave me independence, spending power, ........ and believe me, that changes the color of the glasses you are looking thru, at the world.

Why I didn't blog for so long ? I suddenly got very conscious. Ever since I heard, googling my name brings this up. I lost complete touch with blogs that I was reading , commenting on and following. I just shut that only writing part of my life. Took to a diary, and felt thats all I need. Still not sure why I came back. :) Something just made me appreciate life a little more. Something just made me feel a little young again. Something just brought me back to my blackboard. Probably the flow is missing, and I am leaving out a lot unsaid. I am happy ..... even though Tucson should be the one I should be in love with , Seattle is still quite my hangover. And till I have randomn thoughts like these , I guess I'll still continue to write.
