So I haven't posted in forever. Like in months.
The summer has been busy thus far.
Turkey and Greece were incredible. I loved Turkey more than I could have imagined.

Then my parents left for Ireland. My brother and I spent a few days in San Francisco, going to the Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Mary, Joy of All Who Sorrow for the celebrations of St. John of San Francisco's feast day. We also spent time with our
family in Petaluma. We spent the Fourth of July with some dear friends from church, and watched the fireworks from their front yard. They have a nice view, and I would imagine the spectacle of Mount Roubidoux catching fire is within view as well. Much to our chagrin, the mountain did not catch on fire this year. Next year, maybe.
Then not a few days after my parents returned from Ireland, it was time to go see THE DECEMBERISTS at the Hollywood Bowl. It really was our lucky day (7.7.07). Meh. Okay. So good. Photos
here. Bootleg mp3's
here.
The next day,my brother and I went on the
Annual St. Andrew Teen SOYO Campout. We went to Kings' Canyon, the Monastery of the Life-Giving Spring in Dunlap, San Simeon, Santa Ynez, and Santa Barbara. It was awesome. The end.
Since then, I have been working at trying recuperate, and ignoring the giant mess that has accumulated in my room since moving back into it. Nothing really ever got put away, it just got thrown onto my sofa. Now I am trying to decide if, since I have to move back a month, it is worth it to put it all away properly.
Last night I went with my dear friend Samuel to see the Fray and it was good.
Tomorrow I am going to Orange County to spend time with friends there, and then on Friday after work I am taking Katie to the Harry Potter Midnight Madness Book Release Party Thing. Even though I already ordered mine.
I still have a ton of reading to finish from Torrey Europe. Sigh.
So that's the ERIN UPDATE. I hope you enjoyed. :)
