West Bound

Tonight I'll be packin' my suitcase and shavin' my legs, because tomorrow I'm headin' to Kentucky to visit Kenny! He's come to see me twice in Knoxville so far, but this will be my first trip to his hometown, the grand metropolis of Madisonville, KY. Or, as I've been calling it, "Medicineville" (based on the fact that, in recent years, it seems to have become a hotbed of illicit drug activity...which makes it my kind of town!).

I have no idea what we'll be doing in Medicineville, although I have been told to bring clothes that I can get dirty. (Maybe Kenny's taking me down into the coal mines!) Also, he just bought Season One of Arrested Development, which may just be my favorite show of all time, and which he's NEVER SEEN before, so I predict that we'll be spending some time curled up on the couch, laughing our asses off.

Also, I'll be meeting The Parents (well, for the first time as Kenny's girlfriend). I actually met Kenny's mom back in 2006 (when I met Kenny), but it was very brief, and at that point I was just the random girl he'd met at a bar the night before. (Classy!)

I just can't believe it's only been a little more than a month since Kenny's and my first "date" (as much as you can call spending an entire weekend together a "date"). It feels like that was ages ago, especially when I think about how close we've become in only a few weeks. I will say this, though: As much as I like (even...wait for it...love) Kenny, this long-distance sitchiation ain't gonna cut it forever. And that's some scary shit to think about. I mean, if we were to decide to live in the same place, who would move? And would we live together immediately? Just thinking about it makes my head hurt.

Still, when you know, you know. And the best way I can sum up how I view Kenny and me is that we're two sides of the same coin. (I guess that would make him "heads" and me "tails"! Okay, bad joke.)
