midnight pumpkin - it's all just a dream

The return of the wanderer

In college, some friends of mine once nicknamed me the wanderer. It has nothing to do with where I've traveled or how many places I've been. Instead, it was described to me as being related to my personality and how I wander from one group to another to another and how social and eager to meet new people I can be, but I don't think I always am. Today though, I get to put this supposed social personality to the test. As I embark on the real part of my journey, the wanderer better live up to his nickname and meet some people or I'm going to be damn bored traveling the world alone. Cheers.
