This isn't going to make much sense, so I'm sorry if it gets on anyone's nerves. But Protective and I are cool now. In fact, I'm going to Pasadena this weekend with her, her BF, and Friendly to go sandboarding (I guess you use a snow skate and board dunes. I'm going to hurt myself, I know it already). And I'm probably going to be staying at her house. So I really hope we're cool now. We all drove down to Ventura today because BF has a car and isn't going to school right now (but next year he's going to Cornell because he's a smarty pants). We went to the beach and ate some good grub and it was just nice to get out. BF has this really cute white convertible he got from his grandma, so it was fun riding the freeway with the top down in the beautiful sun with the beach along us the entire time. Anyway, the gang may come with me to Tahoe over President's Day weekend too. So life's a party again. I'm only worried about the grill down from Shlorb, especially S, coming up very soon I'm sure! Ahhh!
