So, for this week's Weekly Roadtrip, I headed over to Brighton to meet a new friend, who shall be known as V for the time being. He and I have been talking online for about a week now and decided to finally meet in person, so we agreed on Brighton as a middle point. We had a nice lunch at Stillwater Grill and just chatted, getting to know each other better. After lunch, we went to Borders, had some coffee and talked books for a couple of hours. Overall, not a bad way to spend a Memorial Day. =)

Weekly Roadtrip 2011 #1: 5/21/11 The Drousy Chaperone at the Kalamazoo Civic Theatre
Something I've been thinking about the last couple of weeks is I need to fill up my time with some more excitement. As my friend Tanya says, I need more circus in my life. While she probably means that I literally need more circus in my life (she does love her clowns!), I'm looking at it as I need more out of the ordinary, off the beaten path fun. To that end, I've decided on my Weekly Roadtrip 2011 adventure!
I may not make it somewhere every single weekend, but I want to try. Maybe it's to the next town over, maybe it's somewhere farther away. I just want more fun.
So, this weeks Weekly Roadtrip is to the Kalamazoo Civic Theatre to see my co-worker's wife, Dee, in a musical called The Drousy Chaperone. She invited me to the last weekend of the performance's run and I decided this was the perfect opportunity to start my adventures! I'll post more after the show.

Searching
What exactly am I searching for? I'm not really sure right now. But I know that I am searching for the new me. I think I've finally found all the broken pieces from the last year, and now I want to put them back together again, but not the way they were before. I want something better. I want to be better. Part of me is scared of what is going to come out of all of this, but I am equally, if not more so, excited to see who I'm going to be. Is everybody going to like the new me? I don't know. I don't even know if I'm going to like the new me, but it's me, so I'd better learn to.
I relate so much to music, and for so long Madonna was my inspiration, and she will always be my Diva Goddess, but lately GaGA has been speaking to me on many levels. I feel like part of what I'm searching for is in her music. I don't know how better to explain it, but that's it. I think I'm searching for accepting myself the way I am, that this is who I am and it's time that I started embracing that instead of trying to be somebody else that I think people want me to be.
