just not a blogger.

though i'd like to be. i haven't blogged since january.


as for life i suppose, thank god i am no longer 23. apparently i'm falling into 24 quite nicely. new job, new scooter, trip back to mi in a few weeks, working things out after recent relationship collapse.

i spent the day yesterday working, then picking up my new scoot with meesh and dan. we stopped at the cantina for dinner and the pope for dessert. meesh on her scooter, dan on his motorcycle we proceeded back to fishtown. riding with the wind in our hair and motors between our legs. it was great. then meesh and i met up with ryan for a mini-ride, hung out at his house, and ended up taking a quick stroll down through northern liberties and back up to our house.

ill probably ride my scooter to work tomorrow for the first time. ryan worries i will die, but only because he cares i guess.

as for my birthday weekend, im fairly certain i love all my friends who showed up, who've stuck by me through probably my worst year in life. so thank you for celebrating that with me. it was harder to get there than you think. i was happy to see some new friends there as well. fire pit, dancing with sparklers to good music, party boat and matching cake, i loved it.

the next morning, meesh, ryan, amanda and i went out to brunch at the mercer cafe. it was cute of course. ryan and i took a detour afterward to birthday present land, then i registered my scooter. dan met me and him, meesh, and i headed to shadfest to walk around. i laid in the grass while meesh taught dan to do cartwheels. then we jumped bikes and headed to franklin square for ice cream, then olde city for sushi and window shopping, and eventually ended up getting ice cream again (ice cream twice!!!) after all that, meesh and i headed home and dressed up in our finest 1920s outfits for the murder mystery at sue and marilyn's house. donna wannabe was my name. al capone was there too and sly sleaze. it was a very fun night, ending with me being the super sleuth who figured out who the killer was (i have the certificate to prove it!). However, i was absolutely exhausted from the night before, making it quite difficult to play along as the movie star hussy i was born to be. ha.

sunday, i spent cleaning the house, then having coffee with dan, meesh, and ryan as we brain stormed possible bruncherie names for meesh and i's future restaurant...brunchwitz, jaburnchskis, the muffin trough, ballards, meesh's keeshes-quishes-quiches. then ryan, meesh, and i headed to a double feature (date night and kick-ass)...divided by a 20 minute stop at a pizza shop blasting television at our faces. after the movie we headed home and meesh and i probably bugged each other.

oh! and monday, i worked all day, then meesh decided to be super hyper then ditch out on hanging out with torsten and me at the el bar, which was fine because i do have to say that torsten and i ended up having some really great conversations despite it.

and to round off the post, i spent today working, with stacy, emily, and meesh being close by to have lunch with. and then tutoring nasariyah for a few hours and then having the ol' cell group at our house.

leaving me to now, ready for bed. id like to keep better notes of my days...so maybe i will because a blogger, we'll see. as for now, at least i've got some documentation of such a great weekend. thanks again to all of those who made it to my birthday celebration.
