Okay, so I guess my New Year's Resolution should be to update Random-Osity atleast once a week. I wanted to do so these past few months, but, uh...looks like that didn't happen. A lot has happened, all good.
Here's the update:
Christmas was good. I scored a printer, vacuum, speakers & a mouse for my laptop, movies, Friends trivia game, photo box, candles, Trivial Pursuit 20th Anniversary edition, and some other good stuff. With the printer and vacuum, I am sooo going to be the envy of all the dorm co-eds. I will be completely self-suficient. No more having to use David's roommate's printer or borrowing the vacuum that sucks to no end [in that, it DOESN'T suck up the dirt, etc.] I am so independent, it's not even funny. Overall, Christmas was great. I liked the time with my crazy family, and it was nice to just relax.
The day after Christmas, I called up my good friend Will. He's back from George Washington University in D.C. We planned to meet at his house for some GW opoly [the GW version of Monopoly] with Deanna, Jason, and Chiwide. After Will effectively led us all to our bankruptcy, we watched Minority Report. It was really great to see them. Those boys are just awesome and I miss them to no end. Deanna, too, obviously.
New Year's was good. Gina, Jake, Noelle, Deanna, and Johanna came over to my house and then, realizing that anyone else who would possibly show up was already at Carlos's house, we decided to merge the get-togethers at Carlos's abode. All the guys were there, minus Jeff, who I haven't seen in months, sadly. I really think that whole group is just spectacular. They are all great people and hilarious. New Year's was really fun with them.
On January 2nd, I made the 3 1/2 hour trek to Coarsegold, land that I love, to go to David's house. I got there at 4ish and was greeted by Kelly and Anne who had already arrived. Cody showed up shortly thereafter. We hung out there, mingled with the family, and ended up not getting much sleep. We woke up at 2am, got ready to leave and were on the road by 3am. Disneyland, here we come [came.] We picked Sierra up at her friend's apartment at 7:45ish and were in Disneyland at 8:15. 16 hours worth of the Happiest Place on Earth later, [with a short break for dinner at Denny's across the street] we went to the hotel and showered and basically fell asleep as soon as our collective heads hit the pillows. We all woke up around 7 and were back at the park at 8am again. Same thing, different day, more rides, less people, good times all around. We left at 11:45pm ish. Showered and slept in until 10. Packed up and checked out of the hotel by 11, stopped at IHOP for lunch and were on the road, stuck in LA traffic, by noon-thirty. We arrived back in Coarsegold at 5pm. Kelly and Anne then left to go to Visalia and then Cody, David, and I took Sierra home. Seeing as how Cody and I [the two of whom had driven the whole way to Disneyland and back] had another 3 hour drive until we'd be homeHome, we decided to spend the night at David's. We all ate, showered, and watched Jurassic Park. Then went downstairs to David's and talked for 2 hours before going to sleep. We didn't wake up [with the exception of me, who had to wake up at 6:30am - for a short while - to move my car so David's mom could take his brother, Kevin, to the bus stop] until around noon. We had lunch and screwed around until David kicked us out at about 3 so he could go ride his horse before it got dark. Cody and I caravan[n]ed back to our respective homes, parting ways at the highway 5 junction. I got home at 6ish and didn't do much of anything.
The whole roadtrip to Disneyland was great. I've had my fill of Disneyland for atleast a few months, as it was 32 hours total. I had a ton o' fun. Cody, David, Sierra, Kelly, and Anne are just awesome people and I'm glad I got to spend the last 4-5 days with them. Overall trip grade: A - [this minus is because my feet just stopped aching and I have a cold from the lack of sleep over the last 5 nights.]
Which brings us to today. I woke up at 9, watched 2 of the 5 movies I borrowed from Kevin while I wrote on the back of all my pictures that I'd taken since the end of Summer. I dyed my hair at then at 3:30ish I went to the library, got some books, got a sandwich at Togo's and then ate it and read at the park until 5ish. Tonight I'm going to dinner with my family and aunts.
I leave for Fresno Thursday at noonish. Classes start on Monday.
Overall, good times and I'm tired of typing. Goodbye.
