I am back in California after a long long long flight (yes the airline had problems AGAIN). ALAS. SIGH. Back to the mundane every day life of me. I start working fulltime for two weeks tomorrow @ $12.23/hour which is quite nice. This summer by far has been one of the most unique, one of the most fun…and one of the summers that has allowed to \”grow\”.

Many thanks to CHEEZ and TAN TAN for the REALLY REALLY REALLY INTERESTING trip in Minny Soda. And all those that tolerated me for the 6 days.

EDIT: and i also met justine! CAT\’S LUVRGIRL. awwww!! yes, cat she is as WOWY as she is online.
