and you know what that means? i didn't succesfully update this blog! i'm nothing if not consistent.
Well here i am in the year 2010, month december, day 7, degrees low 30s. and what does that mean? that i'm back home! A-town Stay down! (does anyone still say that?) i feel so disconnected from Georgia, which, being too connected to Georgia was the reason i left, may be a good thing.
Sitting here in Nina's room waiting for her to come home has been my reality of Georgia for the latter half of this decade. I love coming home. And this time around I feel like not just coming home to visit, but to actually come home. Maybe it's time? I just feel like if i actually do come back, i'll regret it. Who would leave tropical paradise for black winter? But being that my whole family is here and that living in paradise has led to me only meeting my newest addition to the family after she has already learned to walk... i miss my family and don't want to miss getting to know them.
i feel like i'm typing funny... am i typing funny? and no, i'm not talking abt misuse of caps and grammatical errors.. i feel like my words... i'm not using them right. write? wright? wrong.
as i was saying, the time to move back to reality might be creeping up with me. i guess it goes hand in hand with time creeping up. age is a bitter bitch. i remember when i couldn't wait to be 16.. then 18... then 21... after 21 what's there to look towards? why am i so not positive right now? maybe i'm going through sun deficiency. not that i even go to the beach that often when i'm in hawaii, but i've come to realize that i like being able to take things for granted. is that wrong? i love that the beach is there when i want it. omgosh... i'll be regretting these words later. i miss you beach!
My trip back home has been a great one so far! i have spent alot of time with my family, my sister is here from singapore w/ her 3 boys and i haven't seen them in forever and i'm surprised they still remember me! i was able to attend my mom's 80th birthday party which had an auditorium full of familiar faces without names. so many ppl that i grew up with, but don't have the slightest idea who they are! it was good to see them... even though i don't remember them... so maybe i should say that it was good for them to see me. heh heh
aside from my family and being able to spend time with them i have been staying at nina's house so it's good to see her and jane and be able to do all the things we used to love doing! Pretty much the theme to me and nina revolves around balls. yeah i said it. balls. but not just any balls. these balls are to the wall!!! muahahaha everything we do, we do balls to the wall! ok i'm gonna stop saying balls. but yeah, eating, drinking, jumbo bucks.. even an innocent trip to kroger's for a bottle of wine turns into an all out shopping spree! that's what i love abt nina, she gets me. balls.
and i got to see my long lost african sister from another cambodian kpop mistress, IRA! and what's the first thing i do when i see her? felt her dreads! i don't think i've ever touched them before! but maybe it's because before when i saw her she had crazy hair, but not dreads. i love ira for her phases! uga phase, wasabi dooms and a dooms crazy moves phase, lesbian phase, jew phase, korea phase, AA phase... and i think if you ball (yeah i said ball again) all of the up in one, you have current confused ira who wants to go to africa (or was it india... i don't know... it's one of those places i would never go to or ever want to go to... or ever want anyone i know to go to...) to volunteer for 3 months! Volunteer! Free! No Pay! Well there is pay involved, but not towards her... from her. she pays. $2000 was it for the ticket? in the words of miss i herself... HUHLLLLL!!!! i have no idea what that means, but it feels appropriate. but i love ira and everything phase she's gone through makes her the crazy bag lady she is today.
So the first day i got here, my sisters picked me up and after taking me straight to the hospital to dethaw my frostbite, i went out w/ ira to meet up w/ nina at changs where she was bartending! miss i is currently into dirty martinis and while i've always been fond of filthy martinis, haven't had one in forever! So we started the night (or should i say half hour, with 2 greygoose dirty martinis made by the heavy handed tender! every thing i just said in the last sentence is awesome. after downing the tinis, we headed out to the second and last stop of the night... changs. how do i always end up there? but this time to the one in perimeter to see my zimbabwean bestie, marjorie kanheema! i can go years w/o seeing this bish and the second i see her again, it's like we're siamese twins joined together at the head! after another dirty... then a mysterytini... then a beer which i took the the face... and then another beer that never had a chance... and then miss i's tini that i demolished... i... was.. done. Who turned the lights out? Blackout. Cut to the next day where I wake up hungover... my phone blowing up w/ everyone telling me to get to my moms bday party... where am i? how long will it take me to get there? Whoa! One question at a time and make it a good one... let me ask myself one... WHO AM I? Ugh... bad idea partying like a rockstar... i'll never learn.
So cut to (i love doing cut tos...) a cpl days later and i'm ready to get back into some mischief! which is why i'll be going out with nina and a good portion of.. wait for it.... THELUSCIOUSPEACHES! MUAHAHAHAHA pictures and details to come... and i better not blackout bc this is gonna be good!!!
