Arizona

We have arrived in the barren Sonoran Desert and The Valley of the Sun. Arizona is very exciting in its prospect for intrigue and adventure. This move (being our ninth) was somewhat easier then the last eight. This surprises me because last year's move was the journey back to the town of my birth. Back to the adventure, orientation for my new High School was last Thursday and I re-met lots of people I previously knew from Junior High. I met new people too of course but it was extremely over-powering when people who had once ridiculed me for my nationality strolled up and greeted me as though we were the best-of-pals. I tried to ignore such fallacious behaviour but sometimes others would look to me expectantly and I would curtly respond. Some of these instances were depressing to say the least. Living with the our friends has helped tremendously. My friend and I have gone to parties and social get-togethers in an effort to get me "well-connected". In essence, I want to be able to say, "I know a guy" with a wink. is that creepy?
