How I spent my summer vacation
Why, hello there, internets! I have been off and about doing things for the past while.
First, there was lunchy-munchy's visit from 10 to 16 June (technically 11 June, by the time her tragically delayed flight got in (ironically she was stuck in Philly, me having vacated said city several hours earlier in order to get propinquitine and meet her in D.C.)). But we finally collected our Australian fangirl and caught the last train back to propinquitine's flat, so it was a success (plus, she had her luggage-had it been me, I just know my luggage would have gone astray after so many hours of travelling). So then propinquitine and I had fun showing off D.C. and lunchy-munchy seemed to enjoy it all, too, so much fun was had. Yay fangirls! \o/ Then I took lunchy-munchy back to the much-maligned Philadelphia (I literally offered my hostess services along the lines of "Well, I live in Philly, but I hate it, so I'll see if I can wrangle an invite from a D.C. friend too :D"). I had to go back to work, but I sent her off to the city with my popup map and travel tips and she seemed to have a good time, and she only got lost once and found herself again with minimal trouble, so it was all okay. And then I sent her on her way to New York, for further adventures with other fangirls. :)
Then, on 22 June I went home to my beloved California! For my mum's birthday on the 23rd, which I haven't been around for in ages, so that was extra nice and she was extra happy. Plus, you know, I have the bestest parents, so it's always lovely to go home. ♥ I stayed for a week and a half, which was not long enough, and then I tragically had to leave on the stupid 6AM flight on 2 July.
Unfortunately, June was full of too much fun (and good company omg, I miss people), and now the rest of the summer (possibly even the rest of the year) just seems sad and bleak by comparison. Blah. :(
