the sun is up, it shines on you, it's beautiful and so are you

i'm looking out the window noticing the first iota of daylight breaking through the blackness. and yet i am still not asleep. i really did mean to ― after all, i'm flying to california in a couple of hours ― but life happened instead.

first i went out to dinner with joe after work, which was okay except he made a few comments about me which hurt my feelings but i didn't vocalize that, then i turned around and made a similar comment which he flipped out about. i was half-temped to walk out of the restaurant right then and there but instead i just apologized and then we moved on. whatever. then i get home and omg, somebody should have told me that there was a party going on in apartment 410 tonight because it was HOPPIN'!!! drea was there along with josh dunietz as well as josh dunietz's new girlfriend, who is fabulous and i totally approve of, and we definitely had a bangin' time, supplemented by a trip to d.p. dough's. the old-enoughs never quite made it to the bar, because before we knew it, it was 2 am and everyone was exhausted. so josh dunietz and the g/f went home, then drea and i had an espn-esque post-hangout discussion which quickly turned into me recounting my entire love life from 2004 to the present. life. so then drea left, and of course i still hadn't packed, so i just decided to stay up all night instead. got sucked into a few aim conversations with some california friends i'm dying to see, blah blah blah, so here we are now, i'm about to catch the metro to greenbelt and take the b30 bus from there to bwi (a.k.a. bothersome while inexpensive). going to arrive at lax at 11:45 their time. good stuff.

moral of the story: if you're around, i'm around, so let's be around... each other! :)
