july was a busy month
for some reason this past july was… busy. i know i’m usually busy, but not this busy. or was i??
july is a favorite… it’s in the middle of the summer, my favorite season. it has my favorite holiday, the 4th. my (and my birthday twins’) birthday.
a lot of stuff happened this july. russ, my boss, quit as VP of tech at my company… we began venturing into coding things some of us have never coded before… went to ensenada for my birthday… got into some pretty serious fights with iris… went to a dodgers game and almost had a dodger dog (almost!)… spent time with my sister… started my carpool…
now it’s august. where did it all go??
i had dinner with fry tonite, and i had to say it was great… sometimes i struggle to define our friendship, and not in the sense of us struggling to be friends or stay friends or something like that… a few years ago iris once told me that fry and i are very much alike… and i thought about it and saw that it was pretty true. i mean, if you looked at our room situations when we lived together, i think any other way would’ve been a bit chaotic… between my roomies and i, i think fry and i are the introverts, and bean and gold are the extroverts… but i digress… what i’m trying to say is that we have some connection that, while not as outspoken as with our other friends, remains a deep connection.
who knew what kind of other things july would usher in… i’ve always seen that as another starting point in the year, not just because it starts the second half of the year (scary!), but it starts a whole new year in my life really. think about that on your next birthday.
in any case, i’m not sure what the next part of the year will bring… i’m hoping for new ideas, new ventures, new friends, new places to see, and new foods to eat. i’m also hoping to continue to hold close those things that are most important to me.
also, let’s hope i can keep this thing a bit more updated than i have been… heck, i even used a new template to spiff it up a bit.
here’s to the rest of 2006.
