January/life wanderlust.

I've had a serious case of wanderlust. 

The holidays are filled with parties and excitment (not that mine had a lot of either of those this year). And then comes January. You set goals and get back into healthy routines. But something is missing. You want to release all of the new energy you're finding in the gym. You want to meet new people. Go to new places. Experience new things.

I want to go to the beach so bad it hurts in my stomach.

I want to accomplish something. I want to hike!

I feel like I'm stuck in a rut.

Don't get me wrong. I love my friends and my job. My life is good. But I have the fever, and I need to sweat it out somehow.

I need a concert, that feeling of being smashed in a hot and sweaty crowd, complete connectedness.

I want to meet new people.

This is Gotye, I'd like to meet him.

I am obsessed with this song. It makes me feel a good turn in my stomach. It reminds me of picking dafodils off the highway in Virginia. It makes me miss Virginia and my life there. It makes me want to feel that feeling of community here.

Also, Gotye is SUPER attractive.

So far I've invited new people to do things with me. I've gone to a Jewish synagogue (I loved it and plan to attend many other religious services). I have talked to new people I normally wouldn't talk to.

Branching out...heh heh.

Suggestions for places to go, people to meet, things to do?
