  • The past weekend was absolutely perfect. Backbone was more beautiful than it has ever been. Most of the trees were yellow or red or orange already, and the weather was perfect. My friend and I even walked the Backbone trail at night because the moon was nearly full and the sky was so clear of clouds. I could have lived in that weekend for a long time it was just SO perfect. Then Saturday we got back and watched “Merlin” and “Hidalgo.” On Sunday two of my friends came over and we watched “Zulu” and played Risk. Quite possibly the best game of Risk ever, and it is still going. We called a cease-fire between the two remaining players at midnight, shortly after I was completely obliterated but man, did I go out in a blaze of glory. It was a 65-47 army battle between Siam and Indonesia. Granted, with only 47 armies I was doomed to fail, but I trimmed my friend’s 65 down to around 20 before I was done. Heck yeah.

  • Thank you so much for that message you left me, you are truly a sweet guy. I to be honest had a wonderful birthday! My parents came to help me celebrate so that was awesome. they left by 5 but it was great to spend the afternoon with them. That night was alright. I meant by it sucked was I didnt get to celebrate it with close friends. The girls in the house I met less than 2 months ago. Im fortunate that they like me as much as they do and celebrated with me! anyways dont worry I was no crazy girl like most folks on their 21st.  I was home and in bed  by midnight.  ok so maybe im a dork instead but whatever… thanks again for the message and thankyou for your friendship also.. talk to you soon!

  • Thanks for the get well wish! It seems like I’m getting better. Instead of consuming 12-15 cough drops a day, it’s only about 2 or 3! : ) Talk to you soon!
