long time no si

so, apparently i have not really kept up with this thing for the past two months or so. hilarious, i know.

it isn't that i've been sitting in my little hobbit house with the world going on without me. oh no, far from it. i think it actually was more to the fact that tons has happened - i've had a few minor little go to pieces, traveled to the antipodes and back, questioned my career, and have simply been trying to get my brain around what i am now aware of is 'my life.' and somehow writing it down seemed like a completely impossible and overwhelming task.

but with the (not so subtle) urgings of my friend (thank you, amy), i am persevering.

to sum up:

since april 22, i have...

chauffeured wealthy tulsa folks around town in a 16 passenger van

spent a hot afternoon at the stables of a race track

voted in the mayoral primary

visited the aunties in connecticut where i was told, once again, that i 'will never be a great beauty, but [i] sure am cute.'

attended a fancy dancy wine tasting at the marriott marquis

sobbed yet again while watching the end of 'roman holiday'

became a plumber

strolled on the long island sound

helped a man who fell off a bike

realized how many burt reynolds movies i haven't seen

got ruthann all fixed up...kind of

ran into an old friend on barrow street

performed an irish striptease

finally saw 'wicked'

almost ruined my graduate career

got a raise at the job i'm not legally allowed to talk about

attended my lovely friend's book reading

turned the historic age of 33

starred in a screwball comedy

stayed for two weeks mere feet from a giant teepee

saw the wild bill hickock memorial

ate pig brains

drove across three states

went clubbing in buenos aires

sang vamos vamos argentina

ate at the meager loin

witnessed the strangely disturbing 'florida tango show'

'learned' to dance the tango

was told i look like a campbell soup kid and justin bieber

continued to purchase and eat loads of candy

walked a tightrope

slept in a renovated stable on the pampas

watched gauchos compete to be the best darn gaucho

got stopped at customs

met some amazingly, talented wonderful new friends and writers

laughed my ass off with amy

swam and floated away at a lake

i think that's it. i shall expound later.
