Almost out

Yikes. I have so much stuff going on I can't even think of anything to say. This last couple of weeks has been completely overwhelming. I'm ready to go, and at the same time the thought of leaving California makes me so sad. But my room is slowly emptying out, the walls are slowly losing their decorations, and this house is slowly starting to feel less like home. I don't belong here anymore, and I'm ready for something new. I bought a car rack, and now all I need to do is install it, load it up, and take my life away from Santa Cruz.

I have to be out of this room by Friday. I might stick around in town for an extra night or two, maybe crash at Ann's house. Then I'll go up to Reno, drop some stuff off, spend a few nights with my parents. Emily will meet me there, and we'll begin our cross-country journey. Which is still mostly unplanned. I should arrive in New Haven sometime around July 15, and then it's just a matter of unpacking everything I've been trying to pack for the last week, decorating a huge, empty apartment, and trying to pretend I belong there.

Name that car!

My car needs a name. So far I've determined that it's a girl (and she now has a very chic roof rack installed on her head). Currently the favorite name possibility is Yoko, but I'd love some more ideas. What have you guys named your cars? What names have you had for cars before, or what do you think would make a good car name?

Maybe I'll even use my much-neglected poll option and have a vote if I get some good suggestions. Yaaaay, interactive journal entries!
