this post would be better suited had it been done on saturday... but procrastination is an artform my friends. =)
verra sad am i to have departed from my happy sunny home in orange county. probably the best summer of my life has ended and back into reality i have returned. there was much fun on the sand, both under the sun and the moon. drunken debauchery was a regular event, almost every night of the week! toss in some swimming, a grip of concerts, a handful of poker games, and plenty of other good times and i find that summer 2005 was simply glorious. i only accomplished half of the goals i wished to accomplish (more reading, more exercising, more cleaning), but a new year has begun at school and so new oppourtunities will arise. i already miss the ladies and gentlemen and morkoopals back home, but we all know that all good things must come to an end... only to begin again soon enough!
as the sun sets on my happy vacation, it rises back onto my education. life in boston begins again. textbooks and exams await.
dear sweet janice picked me up from the airport and provided an abode for me to sleep over the weekend until i could move into my apartment. i was quite glad she was there for me that first night, for if left alone to my devices, i probably would have cried my eyes out at the loneliness. (i only shed a few tears this time at the airport!!) it was great to see the girls again. i love annie for she and i share an unexplicable, uncontrollable desire to shop, especially with an inclination towards expensive coutre. beth gave me a long list of concerts she wished to hit, and so now it looks like october will be a very musical month. tracy and i tried to decipher what the hell was going on on general hospital... we still don't really understand why nikolas and courtney are having an affair with each other. janice and i were able to hit our regular korean restaurant; i never realized it, but i missed that place!!
the new apartment will remain empty until the movers can come on saturday. i am without tv, but my neighbors have kindly provided open access to their internet, and so, i am not completely bored out of my mind.
due to the highly alcohol drenched nature of my summer, as well as the spending spree that could not be stopped, i promised myself to not drink or shop for two weeks. well, the shopping part is out the window because i just bought something on ebay this morning. as for the drinking part... janice wants to go out on friday because it's a three day weekend and she doesn't have to workk. =)
leaving the place you know is always hard. there is a fear that when you return, the place that you knew no longer exists. places change, people change... you yourself will change, thus causing the gap to grow even further apart between the old and the now. there is little we can do to stop it, that's just the way life is. we grow up, we graduate school, we get promotions at work, we break up with boy/girlfriends, we make new boy/girlfriends, we change careers, we move cities/coasts, we play less poker, we develop higher tolerances... life happens afterall. hopefully in the end, though, we'll still meet on the sand under the moon and drink and laugh until the sun comes up (or until the patrol kicks us off).
my good side
a birthday SOS, thank god they didn't make me take one too... i need to find the picture of the SOSOS.
mr. T!
last night with the pals
one last time--for now
i see drunk people
sad to say adieu, and that is why we say hasta instead. peace, joy and daisies always.
Despite it's clear appearance, that glass of liquid is not water. My friends, it is Grey Goose vodka. Doesn't it look terrible? I asked for a shot and they brought me a GLASS of vodka. And champion that I am (or blinding idiot, you pick), I chugged it all down in one swoop. It tasted about as bad as it looks. You'll be proud to learn (depending on who you are) that I did not gag nor did I yak.
