So, I’m at my friend’s house in Pennsylvania, trying to gauge the next leg of the trip to Connecticut. Evidently, there is some sort of freak storm that is flooding the entire Eastern sea board and we’re going to drive directly into it and a flood of epic proportions. I’m fairly certain that I have life jackets, my iPod and maybe a few bottles of wine. We should be ok, right?
Excellent.
So, Pennsylvania is interesting. The roads remind me much of I-40 between Memphis and Little Rock, the road under-forever-construction. It kind of feels like home, if I actually claimed Arkansas as my home, which I don’t, so there.
So far, I was forced to make guacamole in order to secure a sleeping space indoors, and I’ve had some excellent spanakopita at a local diner. I’m told that all the local diners are owned by Greek people, which makes me want to move here because where else could I get Greek food 24 hours a day… aside from Greece, that is. We also managed to see a $2 showing of the Squeakuel, which was marginally good. I’m kind of curious how anyone can be given credit for “creating” the Chipettes when they’re obviously just the Chipmunks in drag.
Tomorrow, I get to finally meet my favorite shape on the planet. Yep, its the road to Circle. That’s all I have.

Ok, I have to tell you that I hate PA. . . even though I’ve never officially visited the state. But I have a deep hatred for the state for these reasons.
1) I’ve known two girls from that PA and they were both complete whorebags.
2) My husband is the biggest Pittsburgh Steeler fan walking this earth. (He’s from NYC. I don’t get it.) And I’m jealous of the time that the Steelers get. I feel like they are stealing from me. (No that pun wasn’t intentional.)
3) To get to my hometown of Virginia Beach from Chicago, I have to drive the PA turnpike for an ungodly amount time. I usually take this trip in the middle of the night and there is so much construction. I don’t care about the construction but why must the speed limit be lowered when no one is working and there are no obstructions. I’m a speed limit Nazi so I end doing 65 for ten minutes, 45 for ten minutes, 65 for ten minutes, 35 for ten minutes, etc etc.
(Damn this was a long comment. Sorry.)

I should post about obscure reasons to love PA… like the fact that its not Gary, Indiana.
It could be like a blogging rumble, really. If only I wasn’t in Connecticut right now.
