Why I Am Still Here Dancing.

After being home and feeling simultaneously productive and useless for over 48 hours, I've compiled a list of things that home is:

1. Home is the place where you're supposed to feel useless.

2. Home is the place that brings you back down to earth when your ego has outgrown you.

3. Home is the place where you don't have to pay for your laundry.

4. Home is the place where people are (almost) always happy to see you.

5. Home is the place that you never want to be and always want to go back to.

6. Home is the place where you can walk around in the dark without walking into anything.

7. Home is the place where it's acceptable to wear a fanny-pack (NOTE: this also applies to Bonnaroo).

8. Home is the place where it's not acceptable to sleep past 10:30 am.

9. Home is wherever your family, self-made and inherited, is.

10. Home is where you can sleep naked without making your roommate feel awkward.

11. Home is the place where it's completely acceptable to pour yourself a g&t and bask in your own fabulousness.

So my friends, take advantage of being home. Sleep naked. Do unnecessary amounts of laundry. Go buy a fannypack. Remember that the universe does not revolve around you. Buy your family dinner, or maybe matching hats. Most importantly though, pour a couple of drinks for your best and put your feet up. After all, it is summer.
