The Difference a Year can Make.

I was going through MySpace tonight to see if I'd missed anything recently. Surprisingly, posts have been slim, but I had some emails and a page of friend request. Unsurprisingly, I didn't know any of the people making the requests.

I decided to go back and see when the last time I posted on my MySpace blog was, and it was July 27, 2006. About a year ago.

oh yeah
Happy Friday the 13th!!!

At any rate, I was reading the post, and one thing that really stuck out was my "To-Do list:"
"Go to Chicago in Oct. (oh yeah, and Albuquerque)."

For some reason, despite working for an airline now, the ability, care-free requirement, and opportunity to flit off to Albuquerque seems so much less possible now. It strikes me as very odd, but then again, I also feel a lot more isolated being in NYC than I ever did in Texas, even though Justin and I kept very much to ourselves even then... strange.

Oh, yeah, I guess I am still never satisfied. ;) And I miss the convenience of living in the semi-country, and being able to wander downstairs to the Keurig and get a cup of coffee. I miss the nice moments of living with people, but separate from them, so I could make the observation, as I had in my survey from a year ago, that I got a bowl of cereal because Dad had left the Honey Bunches of Oats on the counter.

And, at 9 PM last night I was probably just getting home from eating Queens's version of Mexican food, and laying down to go to bed. I went to bed super early yesterday. I guess I have been exhausted this week, and the one margarita I drank got to me.

Onto more exciting news: Justin and I (and Thao and some other work peeps) will be flying to California, Los Angeles to be exact, to attend the premiere of The Simpsons Movie!!! We get to go because we worked so hard on everything for JetBlue.com. I am very excited about this, but I still don't know what to wear. I am a little sad it's the same day as my JavaScript final is supposed to be. I really need to practice and study. :<

Anyway, I was planning on going to Chicago with Mom, Val!, Dad, and Justin the weekend before that to celebrate our birthday. I just feel like it would be too much traveling all at once, and a little too stressful, so I wanted to cancel or postpone the trip. Val!'s very bummed and angry about it, which sucks. I am not exactly sure what to do now, but I just don't feel comfortable with trying to rush to Chicago.

I thought it would be cool to go to Hill Country BBQ. I guess we'll see.

I hope to update soon with photos. ;)
