The Daily Antics of a Hopeless Meanderer

Never too old for a slumber party

Never underestimate the cure-all effects of extremely spicy Thai food in helping to clear up sinus congestion. In fact, it was so deliciously hot that I'm still experiencing the aftermath. Ahhhhh... It's like a sauna in my mouth.

It's funny, if anyone had ventured to tell me five years ago that I'd become good friends with Brian, enough so that he and I could have long winded conversations about social perception, books, climbing, meditation, and essentially anything else random and quirky, I would have probably looked at them as if they had burst into an entire dialogue in Pig Latin. But lots of things change after high school. Last night he and Emily, his cool camp counselor friend from England, came to visit en route to Chicago and ended up crashing at my place for a night since it was quite late when we finally made our way home from dinner and chance encounters with entirely too many people with the "I'm surprisingly and overwhelmingly cheery for a Tuesday night syndrome". It was definitely interesting setting up camp in my apartment and trying not to step on them as I was getting ready to go to work in the early morning, pitch black still, hour of the day. They won't be leaving until later today ( I figured it would be cruel to make them leave at the ungodly hour that I do for work). It's strange to think that just a few short months ago this whole city seemed so foreign and lonely to me, but now not only do I call it home, but am comfortable and excited to share it with others.
