oh the mockingbirds and mild humidity

hello, loves. i am back and it is nice, though predictably disorienting. blah blah.

my grandparents' 50th anniversary party was so beautiful. i nearly cried when they started dancing. my grandparents are amazing, and apparently know 22% of the population of san antonio - so the party was enormous and ridiculous. i was able to see many fam members i havent seen in a while, but not for long enough. i need to go home for a longer period of time next time round.

amanda's bday: man oh man was that mess fun. tons of photos are already posted, but i'll put a bit more up later when my computer stops being a jerk-face. i miss you kids a lot. and amanda you're freaking bee-yoo-tiful.

i have come to the stark realization that being in sf is, in fact, NOT just a trip - as i've been fooling myself into believing since coming out here. i mean i'm still treating this city like i'm a visitor - throwing myself into things i havent seen or explored - but it's definitely not like i can pick up and go to texas for weeks at a time anymore. jobs only give you something ridiculous like 10 days for vacation or something. it's a wierd feeling - i think i'll be a bit sadder now than i have been recently.

i. love. austin. would have no problem moving back there. i seriously love that place, though recognize that if/when i do move back - very little outside of geography, birds, parks and temperature will be the same. the majority of my friends there are about to graduate, etc and move onto different cities.

was able to see mario and van - 2 kids who will defintitely not be around when i visit again. mario: you are loooooovely, and i miss you tremendously already.

i miss diane arnaout. ugh.

beth. paul. dad. mom. gosh so good to see them. beth, thanks for the three-legged monkey adventures and deep discussions on psyche and how we're all tapped into another dimension - ha - paul, thanks for inciting me to read more than i already do. you are both geniuses.

must work. miss you kids a lot. wish i wouldve had 14+ more days.
