I don’t think I was a loner and pretty much agree with your comments. I tried to stick to what I thought of as the facts in that one. I’m getting around to posting my 20 yr reflections on all that. Just for no other reason than to do it. I’ll expect you to pick me apart on that one, too!

you were only a “loner” because you like labels.
(loner, rebel, original- you are not, sorry)
the names of friends are sprinkled thru out your writing. and although i can only remember names from 20 years ago after a glass of wine & something similar to the vulcan mind meld…
i don’t remember you being a LONER.

what i do remember is you were in the same boat as most of us-

wishing you were more than what you thought you were
and trying to find out what you could be.
i know nothing of where you were before you appeared in north dakota (also know as bfe) but i know exactly when you appeared and that you didn’t waste your time talking to people who weren’t worth your time.
we knew some of the same people, liked some of the same stuff (writing esp) , both skipped when we turned 18 ( i did in sept of my senior year- hee hee….but all i did was tan topless at my mom’s & call in sick to work), had no grad party unless my mom’s friends count, got a little action at dl after grad ( we- my cousin & i took the left over alcohol from the party and a boy from alabama kissed me )(for a while), and had parents that cared more about themselves than anything else.

butch up sally, you can’t go back but you can do better from today on.
and remember where you were with fondness & the attitude-
i wish i knew then what i know now.

and i wish i knew you then. but then i wish i had done a lot differently.

In order to leave North Dakota, you have to be engaged or in a relationship with someone outside of the state. Think Russian brides…

That’s true… if he had used a wood chipper, he cold have tossed the gloves in and been just fine.

Maybe he’s visiting Fargo because he was inspired by the movie.

He has a girlfriend? Who would date him?

Comment on India Trip: Part 1 - the logistics of traveling by andy

I can type, I don’t know that I can write. The food was really good as long as you stuck with Indian or Asian. The western fodder was spotty at best. There was a huge assortment of “Veg” meals, but the “non-Veg” was limited somewhat to fish, lobster/prawn or chicken. Not that that was bad. The seafood was pretty good and the chicken was either prepared in a dish or “grilled/fried” with a sauce. Everything had pretty good spice to it, but the standard Indian “heat”, not HOT Mexican “heat”. I didn’t care much for the desserts, however. I was raised on really traditional Western deserts and you just didn’t find the like there. Indian icecream really is different (almost, but not really like a sherbet) and is frequently served with bits of cold pasta. Obviously, I was not there to get a really good sampling, but I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.

Wow dude, I forgot that you could write. Also, I’m now strangely hungry for Indian food even though you really didn’t say anything that would warrant that. Man, I have issues…

Thank you, Sir. Your “Yo” shall be passed along.

Getting there and home sucked. Being away from the family for 12 days sucked. India… not that bad. I’d go again. Rob just doesn’t like traveling outside a 100 mile radius from Plaincity
