rock stars

weather: cool, windy.

first - here's a big shout out to amber for graduating from CU, yestiddy! yeah! she's done up and gotten herself all edumacated, like. fancy shiiite. what a blazin' family i done got. nice work, cuz.

so yeah. let's change tracks. let's talk about making friends. i haven't quite figured out the nuances of dealing with new friends again. i'm getting better of course - 7 times out of 10 i can find some way to entertain myself through socialization with others. yet there always seem to be those empty evenings that sneak up so stealthily... creeping in like those dark shadows late in the afternoon, which bring cold breezes blowing up from the ocean, and you realize you forgot your hoodie, and now your arms are covered in goosebumps, and no one has a jacket to spare...

it's funny to think after all these years i've just come full circle and have to teach myself to make friends again. is it a confidence thing that keeps me from calling my new pals here? or is it just that i'm tired of always doing the calling? am i vain to hope and wish for that day when people take the initiative and call me? or maybe i'm just being a big baby. chicken. scaredy cat. meow.

ok let's change tracks again. i watched ocean's eleven tonight with catfoooo. such lovely men in that movie! mmm. george. matt. brad (do i sound like US weekly?). there was just so much luv-lyness caught on those splices of film!

& good news - i get to go to LA next weekend for work. there's a big games conference (E3) that i am going to catch the tail end of. i can't wait! i've never been to LA, let alone a games conference. i have a feeling i will hate the city. but i'm curious.
