Special.

I can't write rants when I'm this happy.

What will become of my blog if I'm not perpetually pissed off? Will this wither away and die?

No, it won't - but this blog may no longer be the same anymore. Someone please piss me off so I can rant like I always have.

Thus far...

If January 2010 is a precursor to the rest of my year, I must be the luckiest girl on the planet. This is a sure sign that karma or whatever cosmic force out there has come my way and I know that every decision I've made since coming back from Spain was the right one.

My life has never been so complicated yet enriching and fun. Whatever wave I caught, I hope I can ride it all the way to shore.

Elaborations may or may not come later...

Baseball bat.

Let's see...

Chicken parmesan. Wine.

Last episode of Conan. Beer.

Weird card game that made ZERO sense. Sake bombs.

Bed at 6 am. Water.

I came home hurting today... There's a possibility I might not make it out of my room for the rest of the weekend.

Torture.

This was a lovely picture text earlier I got from my crazy chef buddy. He knows my biggest weakness in life is jamon de pata negra. So what does he do? He sends me pictures of his jamon every once in a while, just to be a punk ass. His captions to his texts are usually pretty hilarious and totally inappropriate, but no matter what terrible things he says, he cannot take away the beauty of pata negra on the jamonera.

In other news, I'm back to being an insomniac. Today's insomnia is caused by a late start to my day which means i didn't have my regular pot of coffee until much later in the evening and now I"m still high on caffeine so here I am... Blogging about nothing important.

I never did post about my trip... Mostly because I haven't been inspired to write and I only seem to really write updates when I'm suffering from insomnia.

I went to Sanibel Island/Fort Myers, Florida. I went to see someone special to me and I had an incredible time, despite me being there the FREAK WEEK Florida had of unbelievably cold weather. The day I left it decided to be beautiful and sunny. Of course, that's how it always works. It was sunny the whole time I was there, just cold. Behind closed doors/windows you would have thought it was 80 degrees and humid. When we were able to go out his boat and fish, that was a lot of fun. I can't believe how we'd fly through the mangroves and just speed around all over the place in such shallow water. We went out for what seemed like a million miles and the depth of the water was no more than 10 feet. For the most part, it was about 4 feet and I was able to see everything. It was so incredible. The dolphins swimming in just a few feet of water and all the manatee zones... That just blew my mind completely. I felt like I was in a different country, it just looked so different from anything here in California that it was hard for me to believe I was still in the US. It all felt so foreign but it was really cool. Since the weather was shitty we went out a bunch and I drank a lot. I literally drank from Wednesday night at the airport until just before I landed on Tuesday. I was drunk for 6 days and it was awesome; I should take vacations like that more often. Hopefully I'll head out again there sometime after NYC and before Puerto Rico... Who knows. All this travelPLANNING is giving me a headache. Once I'm traveling I'm happy. It's planning it that gives me a headache. I might be taking a break in May and not go anywhere as my parents are planning on doing to eastern Europe in late June/July and I'll be hitching on to that free trip.

Oh, and someone that reads my blog has been pestering me about when I'm going to update about him on here. Well, here's my update: I'm making the "baby" (this name suits his personality) dinner tonight at his place. He wants me to teach him how to make chicken parmesan... So, chicken parmesan it is. I'm almost tempted to post his "fishy face" picture I took of him on here, but then he might get upset. I'll save that for another day when he's least expecting it.

My life has gotten entirely too complicated lately. Thankfully this complication can be cured by consuming large amounts of alcohol and just saying 'fuck it.'

Soundtrack of my life circa 2002-2003.

"Once again, I leave your house with battle scars..."

After 7 years have passed, it turns out that things haven't changed a bit.

Pillaging.

Sometimes I worry myself when I'm TOO happy. It's like this crawling out of my skin feeling but without the anxiety I would normally have with said crawling out of skin feeling.

All I know is that this morning I'm a big ball of happy. I can't even sum up my feelings into a few words. Symbols might be more appropriate. Last night I hosted an Italian feast and had a beautiful spread on the table. This was actually the first time I've done the entire dinner completely by myself without having mock-sous chefs. Well, when I needed to put on my war paint I did ask Jocelyn and Tosh for a bit of final touches on setting up my appetizers, but almost everything I did myself. Everything came out fantastic. Between the food and 10+ bottles of wine, we all had a good time.

Great food, great wine, great friends, great night... I slept like a baby and it felt so good to have my 'old spot' back...

Today's a stoked on life kinda day, aside from blogger not letting me upload pictures and blackberry internet constantly being down.

35,000 feet up...




Currently in the air.

First class, greek salad, free drinks, live tv (food network), wifi... I'm comfy. :D

Insert Frustration.

Yesterday my flight was canceled due to a tire issue. Delta changed the tire, then realized after they changed it that the tire was expired.

So, after sitting on the tarmac for over an hour waiting for them to finish the tire issue and sign off, we end up getting off the plane and having to reschedule all of our flights. Earliest flight was the next day.

Get here at the airport at 4:45 am. Check in for my 5:45 am flight. Get to the gate and my gate was moved. Get to the proper gate and my flight's been delayed until 7:15. Because of that, they had to reschedule my flight back to LA. Again.

Now I'm sitting at the gate waiting to see if I'll actually board. Ugh.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

Tonight I've shopped, done laundry, semi-packed, scrubbed my ass and am now vegging out waiting for another load of laundry to finish.

All I plan on doing until Monday is being a raging drunk.

Sleep is an illusion.

Once again, I'm blogging at an ungodly hour. The picture above was taken just a few moments ago. I always turn into such a mess at this time.

I know I said I was going to write my 2009 recap and post it. Well, I wrote it and posted it. I backdated it to the 31st. When reading it back to myself several times, I felt as if there was a little too much vulnerability of myself via the interwebs and I didn't like that. I deleted most of it out and kept it for my personal use as a majority of it didn't feel like me when I went to post it. I like being a ranting and raving like a nonsensical crazy person. I prefer to be known for not making sense than being a wah wah blogger. So, the half-paragraph is all you get. Sorry.

I did want to take a moment though to say that 2010 has started on a really incredible note. Between NYE, this past weekend, certain people in my life and my trip in 3 days... I've been blessed. :)

I will resume my perpetual insanity tomorrow.
