tomorrow i make my way to vermont.
its my first time out yonder and im anticipating great adventures.
i'll be meeting db's family. technically ive already met his father. but it was pretty brief and informal.
this meeting feels formal somehow. like two tribes have agreed to come together to negotiate trade or peace or intermarriage for the creation of an alliance or the return of a hostage (perhaps db?).
and im not the only one experiencing anxiety over it. apparently db and db's mother are nervous too.
we're all nervous. very very nervous.
wait, i bet db's brother isn't nervous. in fact, its entirely possible he has no idea he might meet me. so, at least one of us is sleeping well tonight.
and db's father doesn't count since we already met when he originally came to take the hostage home for a visit in December. but i wanted to mention him once more, for the sake of being inclusive.
i have no clue what we'll be doing in vermont. it seems that we will do some wandering about. walking here, walking there. perhaps go to burlington, perhaps not.
db's mother has made certain to buy ample fruit and chocolate silk for us during our visit. and i think ive found a nice and small handmade gift to bring her from my collection of stuff-ive-made.
if this treaty-making goes well, all of boston may profit.
apparently the sleeping arrangements have also been adequately mapped out by the parentals. i shall sleep in db's room. db shall sleep in his brother's room. unless his brother comes home for the weekend, in which case, db will sleep on the couch. i have no idea where the parents will sleep. likely in their respective homes and beds.
its my first time going on a trade/peace/intermarriage/hostage negotiation with someone and not sleeping in the same room/bed with them. even in high school ASL and i slept in the same room. often the same bed. but i suppose not the first time i stayed there - although i was all of 16.
the idea of sleeping in a separate room makes me feel oddly childish... i remember my grandmother making sure i understood "girls sleep with girls and boys sleep with boys." i sure did take that wisdom to heart.
anyway, from what i hear, vermont is cold and cuddles are a necessity. what shall i do with out db to keep me warm?
will i survive the hostile environment and learn quickly enough the customs of this strange and curious tribe? or will i be found frozen one morning, never to report back my findings of this uncharted territory?
you'll just have to tune in to find out.
sting - if i ever lose my faith in you
