Much has happened since we last partook in electronic literary communion. I've traversed the Pacific and visited Meredith, I've risked my life bungee jumping, I've met an Australian chap named "Mick" (yes, exactly like the legendary crocodile hunter from the epic 1980's films), and I've moved half-way across the country.
These happenings have rendered me what the kids today like to call "emo." In the last month alone I've felt homesick, ecstatic, exhausted, energized, adventurous, creepy, hermit-like, friendly, frustrated, on top of the world, and all too much of some lady's sweaty leg on a red-eye back to Texas. It's okay though, I hear mood swings are great for weight loss. I'll be California skinny in no time.
On a much happier and more committed note, even more of my beloved friends have been tying the knot, or at least making the bunny ears in preparation. I think I might start an engagement ring store in College Station catering specifically to the young Christian crowd, I'd make a killing. Look, getting engaged is the trendy thing to do people. If you aren't well on your way to hooking yourself a lifelong partner-in-crime then high-tale it down to the closest gathering of single Christians (might I suggest a highly charismatic church?) and put yourself out there. What's the worst that can happen? Ah, the excruciating sting of rejection, or worse, finding yourself a tease. Don't be mad, we were all thinking it...
I'm not bitter, I promise, and I really am doing just fine here in the City of Angels. Living alone is growing on me and once I make some friends I'll be just dandy. Thanks to all of you who have been keeping me sane with your text messages. Also, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone in Dallas before I left. Catlin, so sorry I missed you, but know that you are the inspiration for this post.
Lastly, if you are not utterly obsessed with the soulful rantings of Elliott Yamin, you should be. Check him out. May I suggest "How Do I Know" or "Can't Keep on Loving You."
