Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend, 2006. The second installment of a three-part series including action, adventure, sorrow, drama, shock, horror (almost exclusively Japanese), and always a surprise ending. And beginning. Usually a surprise middle too. Featuring me. To be honest, it'd have to have a pretty damn good trailer to get me watching. But that's me.

Last weekend I visited Florida for my sister's graduation. It really was a great time; I got to see my whole family. I cannot remember the last time we were all together. The sun was amazing, the sand nearly whiter than I was, and everyone was in great spirits! Granted I still managed to find reasons to segregate myself and get emotional over silly things, but I've come to see a certain amount of that as unavoidable in my life. aka I'm used to it.

And now I'm in Albuquerque, New Mexico! I'll have you know that I spent a great deal of time learning how to spell this damn city's name, and I'm a bit proud of myself! This weekend (yesterday) was Mark Scully and KT LaBadie's wedding! I've known Mark since high school, and I've been overjoyed to find KT an absolutely delightful person. This weekend was practically a high school reunion for me...which is always a bit sketchy. While I am the same person I was in high school, you wouldn't know it, and it's always strange (and a little frightening) to be back with the same old group from so long ago. I disappeared a few times during some of the parties (which took place every single night, much to my delight!), and grew melancholy once or twice, but overall it was a spectacular weekend. One of the best I've had in quite some time in fact! It truly was wonderful seeing so many old friends, and the new friends I've found have me quite intrigued. I dig intrigue. The future always keeps me guessing. The damn tease.
