message from the future: happy california new year

ok this one's long. yikes.

the past few days have been flooded with meeting up with kids i havent seen in what feels like years, and it has been lovely.

first off, my cousins are freaking awesome and i am so glad i've been able to hang out with them. seriously, why are they so awesome? we went to a place called 'cowboys' instead of 'midnight rodeo.' hhah... actually not tooooo bad - i thoroughly enjoyed time spent gawking at people spinning around and throwing each other into the air to the rhythm of the steel guitar. photos below:

cowboys rocking out.

she's about to get flipped.

with my cousin lisa and her friend margot. i love lisa and sarah i love lisa and sarah.

my camera exploded the next day, so i haven't been able to visually document any events since... blast. blast.

hung out with marcos, mike, sara and danny (give or take) for a bit. really good to sit around with those kids. it's nice to see that we're all taller, but still easy-going and content and like smiling a lot. danny - you are remarkably trusting with that sweet-ass camera of yours. looking forward to the photos, and i grow a bit queasy when i think of that monstronsity of a dessert we stuffed into our faces.

new year's eve was freaking hilarious. sara and i moaned and wallowed like babies in our indifference about going to austin - but we went regardless, and it turned out to be super fun. austin's celebration was pitiful: a shoddy, glitter-eee pinata unsteadily raised above an ugly building as it hit midnight. soon thereafter, sara and i chanced upon an untapped bar, with few people and cheap beer. i swear, everytime i hang out with that woman i like her more and more. we agreed that it was fairly ridiculous that we spent our new years with someone who also lives in california, but she is freaking awesome so i was juuuust fine hanging out with her all night.

final notes:
1. i am so incredibly glad that the phone calls i received at the stroke of 12 oh'so were from three fantastic women. no freaking boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend, calling me up to chat or some crap. i feel really lucky.
2. this was the first new years i thought of the previous year as well, instead of solely the upcoming. i was super blessed in 2005 - and feel super fortunate. as that stupid pinata raised into the sky, i couldn't help but smile and think about how much i was able to accomplish/happened to me recently. so lucky. so hard. so glad.
3. i am nervous about returning to california
4. i miss di
5. amanda i love you

i hope all is well on your end. i hope every day is better than the previous -

  • Sounds like your New Year's Eve was pretty SWELL . . . good to hear!
    I also look back on the great hang-out session of 2K5 with much fondness . . . of heart. I'll get those pictures up on the website by tomorrow or the next day, most likely =B
    And I am QUITE glad you guys go to screw around with the camera! The good Lord has blessed me indeed, and I can't help but share its wonderfulness with as many photo-loving folks as possible . . .
    2K7, here we come!
