back and forth....

Forever. That's how long it's been since I posted to the blog. Sorry! So here goes:

I think the last time I blogged was early December. Since then, I finished my first semester of grad school (as did Tara-- yay!). Grades were fine, but I'm still a little helpless.

I then went NYC to my parent's in Harrisburg, PA. Spent a few days there, soaking up cookies and Christmas and presents. super fun :).
A few days later, Dan came and picked me up (and gave me lovely presents!) and the next day we headed down to Annapolis for a few days. This included my super fun birthday '05. Geoff, Paulie, Dan, Stacey, Elliot, and others came out and partied it up at Pharmacy Bar in DC until I was drunk enough to eat a jumbo slice.

On the 30th, Dan and I went to West VA to go skiing at snowshoe with 15 of his closest friends. Turns out, they're super-cool. We had hella fun. I'm not such a bad skiier, if I do say so myself. There was a sweet hot tub, lots of games, and some cool people. Mikey and I are now set on planning a co-new-years trip of our own. Penny, meanwhile, had a great week in nap-town with Dan's sister.
We went back from WVA to Annapolis, and from there I hit Harrisburg for a night, and then back home to NYC.

Dan moved up to Queens last Friday! He had a lovely Lost/birthday party here on Wednesday, and is finally 24, so I don't feel so old. He got a job at a restaurant a block from Mikey & I's place, and started yesterday. Geoff-- remember Annie's? The place with the insane brunch of great happiness? He's working there.

I start back to classes on Tuesday-- I think it's going to be a tough semester. We'll see though. I guess I'll make it through. :)

So that's all for now-- sorry I'm not more interesting. Happy New Year to everyone; I hope all your dreams come true and each of you moves to New York.

i'm commenting for the sake of commenting. i think as a general rule, commenting should occur more often than it does. it's quick, it's easy and it says "hey, i read your shit. i care about you and what you're doing."

(note: erica, i haven't read your shit yet, but i swear i care about what you're doing. ;-) love you!)

I agree, Geoffrey Scott. Did no one appreciate the hilarity of the joint post below? And Erica, I read your shit. Who would have guessed that Homer Simpson would spend New Year's in West Virginia? Let's be friends with him.
