you're a freaking electrical engineer and you haven't seen 'short circuit'!?

yo. yes.

i nearly cried when i opened up a package of socks on christmas morning, for peeeete's sake. i've been 'poor' before, but the amount of happinesss i experienced upon receiving those things allowed me to recognize how freaking broke i am right now. santa was surprisngly right on - didn't receive mass amounts of stuff or anything, but everything was functional and fairly necessary and purchases of such items in sf would have resulted in no grocery money. oh my god i have a pair of jeans with no holes or frays and i love them.

my brother and i have been spending a good bit of our bored time attempting to create the greatest 'that's so myspace' photos. here are our finest attempts:
pudge wearing the most disgusting shirt in all the land which i gave him for kuhhdeeeesssmaaaahhs


this is the first thing that's embarassed me since tripping over a trash can junior year in high school when a 'hottie' asked me about my soccer game. god this photo is horrific.

been dabbling about with various kids in the area. eg: was able to see van, my old painting t.a./current superhero before she left for rhode island and france and other far away places. she makes me want to travel again and paint for a living. was also able to hang out with friend from 16yearsoldplusland marcos last night. so freaking good. i haven't been able to just sit down adn freaking talk (minus london) in at least 3 years and i remembered again why i miss him so much. two prime examples that texas is a fine place with lovely people.

been running, yoga-ing and taking care of siblings who are all got their wisdom teeth pulled. my sister held my arm the whole trip back frmo the dentist and it made me 18x happier than i already was to be around this place. and neither of my sibs can talk and it's hilarious. they're seriously pitiful right now, wallowing in my parents' bed, moaning and shit. it's awesome. and the both have dentist office stickers slapped all over their shirts. i feel for those kids, and hope their pain is over soon.

if you are in texas, i hope we meet again. so thankful for so very much. take care out there -
