yes, i am still alive. here is photographic evidence:
sorry, i didn't feel like making a facial expression. (and no, i don't have something on my lower lip, i just have some weird dent that i dunno wtf it's from.)
what's up with my life? well, i'll tell you. i really like my job. i have muscles in places i didn't know muscles could grow. being outside is nice (because i live in california now where the winters are generally in the 60s during the day) and i enjoy the physical labor.
what else? i still am nuts about my girlfriend. she's basically she awesomest girl i've ever dated. i don't think i've ever been this happy with anyone and even the 600 mile distance can't lessen it. of course i wish we lived in the same town, but she makes me ridiculously happy nonetheless.
mikei is still fluffy (whee more photographic evidence):
she has a lot of fun chasing kiwi around and sometimes he chases her back (although sometimes he just gets annoyed and hisses). tailer pretty much hates her. he runs away whenever he sees her. it's kind of pathetic.
i've been doing a lot of xmas shopping. it's really, REALLY nice to be able to do it. i am usually jobless and broke around the holidays and it's nice to be able to do some giving as well as receiving for a change.
DUH how could i almost forget?? i bought a plane ticket to portland! i will be there january 9-19th and although some of those nights are already claimed by aforementioned girlfriend, i will definitely have time to kick it with other people and there will most certainly be a night of epic karaoke that everyone should come to. anyone who wants to kick it should hit me up.
