fee fie foe fum!
well its been a while...things are good bad up down and around again. but that is life. I was in st thomas for a week, which was fantastic, yay for vacations! had all sorts of fun. i honestly think i drank more while there than i have in the past year, free booze+beach=happy. to really illustrate their attitudes towards alcohol, there was an activities board, and one day, before bingo there was a "snorkel booze hunt". and i should add that bottles of booze are frequently prizes for bingo. i went diving, it was an ok dive over all, its been 10yrs or so. but the reef wasnt anything fantastic. i did however see a nurse shark, or atleast its tail. but it has made me realize i should really try and find more opportunities to dive again. i kinda forgot how fun it is. ive also decided at some point i will live down there. or atleast in the islands, ill have ot explore more. the pace of life is ment just for me ( : plus its paradise. some of the beaches there were just fantastic, but the beaches on st john(took a day trip) were hands down some of the finest ive laid eyes on. in other news, i spent some time in chicago on each end of the trip, which was nice. saw nicky again which was fun as always. and i saw one of my friends from when i lived there. that was a little weird, but cool. even weirder tho was seeing his little sister, who all my memories of was of a bratty 3yo that got in our way when we were playing, and now is a very cute young woman. being at his parents house there again was like flashback central. weird how just being somewhere can trigger so many memories you would have never remembered just thinking about the past. things around here are interesting to say the least. i will be moving out around the feb. 1st so i will be without internet for a bit. *cry* stupid moving interrupting my internet goodness...but moving is a fantastic thing since it means being out of here. wooo! so far the apartment hunt is going ok, theres plenty of places, just finding one in a suitable neighborhood is the problem. a property management company we went by today the guy said, with what we wanted in the apartment, the only location with units availble like that, was in a bad neighborhood as politely as one can put it. hehe...so hopefully the sunday paper will yield more options. im hungry! ( : so this is all i have to say for now.
