I just realized it's been nearly two months since I wrote anything here. Probably because nothing terribly interesting happened to me for most of November and December. Then that thing that was sucking the life out of me went away for a little while. Yes, I'm referring to school.
Winter break was really, really nice. The whole sleeping in all day, hanging out with people, eating whatever the hell I wanted (sooo many cookies) and general laziness was amazing. I went up to Berkeley and finally had dinner at Downtown with Sami and company, which is something I never did while living in Berkeley. That was yummy. There was also much movie watching, well, I guess I just mostly saw Juno and Sweeney Todd. Juno was great, witty and kinda surprising in the end. The characters develop very well and it was a highly enjoyable film. Sweeney Todd was completely different. It was waaay darker than I thought it would be, but it still worked in my opinion. Very strange though with the whole singing and killing thing. Very strange.
I also hung out with the family a lot and honed my technology skills quite a bit. For example, I installed a new router for the house, and it was only supposed to take me 20 minutes according to the manual. It took me 3 hours. This includes a frustrated call to Sami so she could look something up on the internet...because I killed mine. I also found a way to hook up my laptop to the tv. That only took about 10 minutes, not including the two trips to best buy, because I forgot to buy something I needed the first time. Yeah, I'm so awesome. Anyway, it all worked out for the best. My mom now has decent internet and I got to watch whatever I wanted the entire time I was there, which, as the youngest, never ever happens. I was pleased with my efforts.
Christmas was nice and quiet. New Year's turned out to be a lot of fun this year, somehow. My track record with New Year's isn't the greatest. Either I stay home alone and cry, or something goes horribly wrong if I go out. I went into the city for the Patton Oswalt, Doug Benson and Arj Barker show, which was hilarious. I didn't even have to be drunk during the show to enjoy it, but I totally was anyway. Yeah, I think I may have sprained a muscle from all the laughing. Those muscles are out of shape. I also got to ride in a limo to the show, which was my first limo ride ever...and it was sweeeet. Limos are really, really cool. Once I'm making doctor money, that is how I'll be rollin' to work. You best believe. Then there was much walking to make up for the awesome limo ride, but after the crappy walking there was much drinking and dancing to Journey, so I think it all worked out well in the end. And now it's 2008. Fuck.
Anyway, I'll try writing more later, it's past my bedtime. Also, I have pictures from way back when. But I got a new phone, and it doesn't want to sync up with my computer... so I'll be clearing a 3-hour block to deal with this problem. Hopefully there'll be pictures some time in the future.
