Happy New Year to you all. Let me first say that it has been 4 years since I had this space that is my home in LA and I have failed to throw some kind of New Year’s Eve party. So count on New Year’s Eve 2004 at my place next year. Guaranteed.
It was family time throughout most of the holiday season. It seemed as though every relative I have came over to our house at some point, especially my dad’s side of the family. It was a nice time catching up with them, seeing as though I left a lot of them behind when I went up north to college. Strange how some things change as my mom seems to really like to entertain guests now; probably cause she got a lot of new furniture and stuff over the last year.
The last three days have been spent trying to socialize with my old friends from Lincoln. It again feels like I managed to everyone I ever knew at high school, which was cool. I went to lunch, dinner, and the movie Stuck on You (mildly entertaining I thought) with assorted groups and saw people that I didn’t expect to see again like Matthew. Also, I found out Pedro has moved up to the Bay Area and wanted to see me when I get back there. That’s pretty cool.
So all in all I was reunited with people from the past in the past three days of the past year. Now to await the future.
Interesting Fact-The verb “cleave” is the only English word with two synonyms which are antonyms of each other: adhere and separate. (source: Subprofile)
Happy New Year Allen!
Do you have any resolutions? Mine are:
1) to not drink as much Diet Pepsi (Vicky is quitting!)
2) to be more punctual
3) to channel Nikki and maintain a more organized room
4) to get over my DMV phobia
*sigh…
I’m glad you were able to hook up with your friends…I think mine are going back to Utah/Idaho soon but they never tell me anything
I hope you are enjoying yourself! I miss you guys =) it’s quite dull over here.
Ringing in the New Year’s Resoultions
The New Year’s Resolution I think will be posted soon. I was planning on posting them yesterday, but decided against it, since I didn’t know what I wanted to do yet.
As for your’s,
1) it’s good thing you are cutting down on the diet pepsi as it was starting to become excessive
2) I got a new watch so I’ll be trying to hold you on the punctuality thing
It was alright seeing friends, though at the same time I kept on being reminded of how much I missed you guys too. Everytime I walked by a Diet Pepsi can, heard a Simpsons Reference, or heard somebody complain about men, I couldn’t help but chuckle and be reminded of you and so many others. Until we meet again.
