happy new year, yall.
since jan 1 was my 21st bday, it held special significance for me this year haha. it was fun. to be honest, i wasnt too thrilled or whatever, being that i just spent almost 4 months in europe where i could drink all the time, but it was still fun.
(plus my shannon was in town til the 31st (she moved to florida with frankie in october and manages a jewelry store in the keys) and as she is one of my best friends, it was WONDERFUL to see her. ive missed her SO MUCH. and she got me the coolest things from down there. :))
NOTE TO BRETT: youre going to be jealous haha. robyn got me a poster of QC...and its SIGNED. hehehe. with my name, and pintsize drawn, and jephs signature on the back. its AMAZING.
i was supposed to go to mt p to kps and robs apt for a party...but i was housesitting and couldnt. so about 2 days before new years eve i decided to stop being antisocial and started calling people i knew were still in town...it ended up being a good time. lundy came, robyn came up from mt p to save my bday haha, emili and emily came over, and so did norton. alisha and her boy eric came over for a bit before going to his parents house. we had some fun times haha. then the night of jan 1 robyn and i went to the casino and met my mom and sister and brother in law there, along with some friends, carrie and her fiancee ray, and her mom mary. ive known her family my whole life, they are some of my favorite people. mary was trying to get me "loopy" as she calls it, haha, but im pretty sure i had the highest alcohol tolerance of anyone there, so i was fine :). thats what comes from the last semester i had hahaha. the only one that might come close is robyn ;).
my friends are the best...all who came here, plus got a bunch of calls right after midnight and a ton of messages on myspace and my wall on facebook. its really sweet...i appreciate being thought of :) yall are great and those of you i cant see right now (or anytime soon), I MISS YOU LOADS!!! i love my friends (even if i couldnt recognise lucas' voice right away haha :D). im starting to adjust to being home...but i realised after being around people for 2 or 3 days straight...im still not quite ready yet for all this. part of me is still enjoying/needing this solitude waaay too much...i havent talked all day pretty much (which sucks considering my aunt is coming back tomorrow...well technically today...but i go to mt p again on wednesday to move into my apt...so i guess ill be all right. ive still got a lot to process i suppose.
well im rambling...thanks to all you who made my birthday and new years awesome!!!

ps...i have insomnia in the worst way. someday im actually going to sleep. someday. but apparently not anytime soon. ive had the worst (or no) sleep schedule for weeks...since before i came back. and its really frustrating. staring at the wall or the tv trying to sleep is the most frustrating thing ever. 430am has been the average time ive been falling asleep...and then the dogs usually get me up about 6. not so fun.
ps again. speaking of dogs...when i move into my apt, i want a kitten. (i know, i need to talk to my roommate about it...but my landlord accepts pets, which is AWESOME.) and i really want a pet. more specifically a cat, b/c they are relatively independent souls, as opposed to dogs (though i love them too), and i simply dont have time to give a dog the attention it needs. i couldnt do that to a pet. (my allergy to cats is irrelevant. there are ways around that. :) night!)
