here in the mountains
so basically i'm full of shit. and here's why. i have a good story for you and it's only been like two days since i called my strike.
tonight i met my cousin for dinner and as we were driving to the restaurant she says,"i've lured you here under false pretenses. I brought someone for you to meet." (insert mini heart attack here) "yea i thought it'd be good for you to meet someone and i'm sure you'll like him it's not like a date date it's more like a hey we're having dinner oh look this is my cousin isn't she cute" (hyperventilation may have ensued here) but i kept my cool..mostly. we get there and not only am i sick, i have my glasses on, and i'm looking less then attractive. we walk over to the one table where a guy is sitting with the menu blocking his face...of course. how cliche(touche!) and when he lowers the menu.....it's my cousin!!! now before you go yelling incest it was simply a ploy to surprise me(which works since i'm the most easily tricked person in the world). we all had dinner(the adam..being my cousin jane's brother) and then went for ice cream. and they invited me up to their dad's house in vail....veil?? vale? oh who knows..anyway and i'm so excited. it will be nice because i'm slightly bad at the whole social interaction thing and hanging out with my cousins will be a lovely break before i need to get back and prepare a presentation on Chile. speaking of which..it's chilly here and walking around in my reefs(which have a hole in them from mardi gras) and short sleeved shirts isn't cutting it anymore.
huzzah for lovely mountains this weekend though. sorry for my brief(aka lame) isolationism. i think it's passed and i'm a happy camper. surprisingly enough the sicker i feel the better things seem to be going. i'm enjoying wearing a scarf and my dad's old doctors scrubs. i think i look rather spiffy!
