I actually had a social life for the last couple weeks of the year and it was pretty rad. My birthday dinner was on the 17th, and it was lovely. Jenny, Zach and Emily all came down from Phoenix which kind of blew my mind. I really didn't expect them to come down just for my birthday. Aside from them there was my mom, grandma, Serena, and my maybe-sort-of-boyfriend-but-really-I-have-no-fucking-idea, Efrem (yes, file him under "guys I've dated who have weird names" alongside Liberty and Gray). After we stuffed our faces at Pasco, Serena and I had everyone over to the house for some drinking and chilling. Quite a nice night overall.
Last weekend was my actual birthday, and I went out to karaoke the night before with Efrem and Serena and my friend Kerry from school. I had hoped more people would turn out for that, but it was Christmas weekend so it's to be expected that people are gonna be tied up with other things. It was still a solid karaoke night nonetheless.
Aaand last night was New Year's and it was a fucking blast. I put in some really quality time with Jamie and Sami. They were treating me like a goddamn queen all night, it was so sweet. I told them I was dead broke and wasn't sure if I could afford to go out with them, so they came and picked me up and paid for my cover to get into a bar AND paid for all of my drinks. And I told them about how insecure I was feeling about Efrem so all night they kept telling me that I'm hot and a total catch, etc. Haha.
SO yeah, about Efrem. He's so fucking cute and intelligent and he totally killed it at karaoke and I'm really into him but I'm just afraid the feeling's not mutual. I feel like I'm always the one initiating conversation and setting up plans to hang out. He never says no to hanging out or flakes on me or anything (and he was even okay with meeting my Mom and grandma so I figure that's gotta count for something?) but it would still be nice for him to put in a little more effort. I don't know. We've been seeing each other for like 6 or 7 weeks so it's about time for me to just ask him where his head's at and see if I'm wasting my time. I'd really like for this one to work out. It's been so long since I've had more than lukewarm feelings for someone.

I live for these fucking nachos, man.
Me with Jenny and Zach.
Took a mental health day on Thursday cause I was feeling super sad. I went to Agua Caliente park and just chilled with the ducks and listened to sad music. It hit the spot.

Us standing in reverse order this time, haha. And yes I wore the same dress for my birthday dinner and New Years because I just got it and I'm fucking obsessed with it and I have to fight the urge to wear it every single day. Don't judge me.
