"Laying low again, high on the sound"
Okay, me again trying to reclaim the glory periods of my LJ. I don't know why I just kinda stopped, but oh, I will begin again.
So I need to stop being so cynical and lethargic. My parents are saying it's still me recouperating from the surgery, but it's been a few days and I have a feeling it's more than that. Anyway though, I reflected on break thus far, and it appears I've done nothing productive. I am going to still try to learn how to knit. My mom tried showing me the other day with her old needles and stuff, and ended up remembering how much she liked it. Now she says she's going to knit me a sweater =D Woot. All I'm trying to figure out is a scarf for now.
Aside from that, Christmas was good, and after that we took a family trip to New Orleans and I got to hang out with Tommy. Because I'm chicken-shit and wouldn't go clubbing with him we ended up going to this really neat hookah bar two days in a row. When we left New Orleans I actually got really excited thinking about how much fun I'd had there, and since I've been thinking what it would be like to start a small hookah cafe of my own. It's got alot of benefits in that it's a space where I can share chillaxation with everyone around me, and it's legal, and it's fun. I've been doing small research over the past few days and I need to get more info on prices to rent space, decor, hookah prices, sheeshah brands and prices, locations etc., etc. This wouldn't be something I'd be able to do until after I graduate, and perhaps this is just a passing phase, but research can't hurt. Unless you're the patriot act.
New Years was pretty cool too. I got to hang out with lots of people I hadn't seen in awhile, like Jud, which was awesome. And I also saw Patrick (yes, Woodlands Patrick) who I hadn't seen in a year +, and Tommy, Jenna and me had a reunion of sorts with him. Oh the good times walking the Edinburgh streets with our comrade...Unfortunatly I left even before midnight, cause' my teeth were bothering me (gee I wonder why) and I was starting to feel the same brand of lethargy I've been experiencing all day.
I have a week and a day till' I go back. I pretty excited about starting classes - like American Philosophy which I'm gonna be in with Ian and Jordan, and the ever-awesome Kevin O'Neill. Score. Although I have a feeling I'll really have to buckle down for this class and study as opposed to the predominantly discussion-based class that was Intro. And I'm also taking Intro to Film, which I'm hoping might renew some inspiration.
But...in the week that's left I'm gonna try to be less reclusive and leave my house. Tomarrow I do believe I'm going downtown with Tommy to taxitaxi, leopard lounge, etc., cause
A. we have coupons
B. I'm bailing on him tonight for clubbing (teeth again)
C. he said Adrienne's gonna come too
And other than that, life's okay. I'm glad I actually sat down and made myself type this. I really only feel like filling out pointless quizzes. As for the date, I'm excited for 2005. All in all, 2004 was a really good year.
