Texas Christmas
Hey, y'all! Hee, sorry -- couldn't help myself.
Long, LONG time, no see ... I've been very busy with school (passed with a 3.5 -- BOO-YAH!), I've been trying to find work (not a lot of success with that so far), and trying to rev myself up for the holidays.
I recently got in contact with my cousin Margarita, whom I haven't seen since I was a kid but we've kept in touch through phonecalls and e-mails over the years. Since this past year has been so rough on the family, Margi was incredibly sweet to offer to fly me out to Texas for a few weeks and stay with her family, and I'll be here through the new year. I've been here for almost a week now and I'm loving it (which I can't help but find a bit ironical, lil' lezzie that I be =B). I'm in Kyle, sort of a suburb of Austin and have just been hanging out with my cousins Nathalie and Vincent, playing tourist. So far, it's been awesome and hopefully I'll go back to Tacoma with a clearer head and ready to conquer 2007 head-on *knocks on wood*
Um, I got a tattoo -- love it! It's a pisces symbol (two little fish intertwined) on the back of my neck done up in black ink. Hurt like hellfire for the first few minutes and my spine vibrated (not nearly as cool as it sounds, trust me), but it looks awesome.
Not much else to add, except that now I've officially dubbed myself Michael C. Hall's bitch forever. Dexter had its finale this week, and I'm blown away by what an amazing show it is. Shows about vigilante serial killers masquerading as mild-mannered forensics geeks don't seem like they'd have much of a shelf life, but DAMN. Fantasic writing, great performances, and I no longer see MCH as a repressed gay mortician. Yay =)
*resignedly tosses MCH onto her ever-growing man!crush pile*
Now, off I go to reconnect with my oft-neglected f-list. Happy Holidays to everyone, Merry Christmas, and have a fab New Year!
ETA: I'll be in Corpus Christi with my cousins until late Sunday night, but I'll be back here by Xmas, hopefully (yeah, rhymephile, I see you rolling your eyes =P). Take care, y'all!
