I almost just fell over on to my mom. THERE you are equilibrium-disorienting-hangover.

I've woken up everyday for the last 5 days singing "And so this is Christmas..." The holidays are over and for once in a really long time, I'm very happy that they happened. David pulled out the old video-camera last night and asked everyone what their most memorable part of 2009 was and what they are looking forward to in 2010. My response was as follows: The most memorable part of 2009 was moving to California and MOVING BACK. What I look forward to in 2010 is... getting my shit together.

It's the truth.

Here is something I want every prospective love interest/slumber party host to know about me:

If you decide to wake up and make my breakfast, I like my eggs scrambled together. Please I beg of you, do not bring a plate of over easy/runny eggs. I will pretend to be pleased, but you will know the truth. You will be disappointed in yourself for failing to make me happy and breakfast will be a failure. Omelets are the key to my heart. Omelets with a lot of things in them (spinach, mushrooms/olives, feta cheese and sundried tomatoes a.k.a. the Mediterranean being the ultimate) are the best.

Oh and before you go milking up my coffee, ask me how I want it. My preferences changes with my mood. Everything changes with my mood.

I've been trying to figure out what I'm supposed to write about for weeks now.

But here are a few things:

- My least favorite question, so far, has been "So. How does it feel to be back?"
- My family is amazing. I just never tell them so. The word have always felt too weak.
- After convincing my nephew that her name was not "Jeffrey," Jess hung out with me for a bit at my sister's house. She told me that she'd finally invested in an air mattress... So that I can come and stay at her house whenever I need to. That's love. That's why I came home.
- Taking the train is so great. I really took it for granted.
- My nephew Brandon is my new favorite person. I now understand the appeal of children and dogs. They are still in the same category, though. That's the second step I guess... separating the two.

This happened to me:


I got warm, dizzy, and felt completely euphoric. That's also an accurate description of being on drugs. Now I have a cold. THAT's what I get for believing in crushes.
