Hello World!
I said I would be posting more, and I am following through with that promise today. Things have definitely changed since my first post back in October of 2010... I think that's part of why I put the blog on the backburner. There are two people in particular that used to be a big part of our blog, that not only don't participate on the blog now, but aren't even really in our lives anymore. While it's always disappointing to lose close friends, life goes on, and so have we.
Now, three years later, a lot has changed for us. Everyone has now graduated from school, and are seeking jobs and new apartments. While T has finished med school, and is soon to start his residency, he still screams insanity... which I really need to start taking notes of, because it's been awhile since I've updated our twitter account with quotes. D has just finished grad school, and returned home to search for a job. By the way, congratulations D, for finding a job! Compared to most people, the time you spent job hunting was very short. D is still the voice of reason, often listening to me and offering his advice. Although a few years ago his advice was based on how to deal with being friend zoned, these days his advice is basically telling me if I am being unreasonable or not. Which, unless I just feel like ranting, is exactly what I want to hear. R is still the master of videogames, comic book lore, and all around a great friend. Currently we are in the process of starting a gaming channel with J. Title of the series is pending. J is still playing with his band, and essentially making us realize we know little about music theory... Or making me feel the need to practice guitar more often. He's also the best boyfriend ever. C is, and probably always will be, the life of the party. Or the person most likely to know where a party is. While we don't see C as often as we used to, he still graces us with his presence when he deems it worthy. A actually has probably changed the most, going from the most obnoxious person we all know, to a much more tolerable person... Unless he's around me, then J starts to ask us not to please stop fighting with each other. G is starting to make his way into "the inner circle", as he called it. The more often he's around, the more likely you will hear stories with him in it. As for me, I honestly don't think I've changed that much. I think it's harder to evaluate yourself as far as how much you have changed. Mainly because I don't think we are necessarily aware that change is even happening.
Here's a gist of what's gone on in the past year:
Starting with New Year's, we continued the tradition of celebrating it in D's basement. There was a lot of hugging involved... and a lot of rough-housing:
D flew home from Chicago with Deep Dish pizza for us. He said he got a lot of weird looks from people on the plane:
For a few months the boys started a bowling night once a week. This is a picture of R showing off his skills:
D, R, J and I attended WrestleMania! We froze our butt's off in the process:
J was attacked by small children. They discovered his weakness, being tickled... I have no idea where they discovered this information... ahem:
The 2013 Dessert Championship was held, and Ice Cream was the winner for the second time.
(The 2012 champion was Pumpkin Pie, something that couldn't be mentioned without my disgruntled response. It was quickly shot down in the first round by Pecan Pie, and I could not be happier):
And T took one of the best photo's I have ever taken, and made it into the most American photo I've ever seen... (America! Fuck yeah!):
Well, that's it for now. I can assure you though, there will be more posts here in the near future.
Love from,
I'm pretty sure there are good stories to tell from this past year that I need to remember....
