December 2005: At A Glance
I am a bad, bad blogger. I can't believe I haven't written anything in almost a month. My apologies.
Well, since my last post...
Brahim and I are no longer dating. We stopped talking for various reasons sometime near October, and we had absolutely no contact for about a month. Then he said he wanted to talk, and for the next month or so we were making and breaking plans to get together during the weekends. I finally saw him on his birthday, and we did talk, but we discussed our lives more than our relationship. We ended up having a pretty heavy make out session though, something that both Lisa and I had predicted. But then, a week after that, he went to Richmond with his friend and had a threesome with two girls. If I had any question as to what our "relationship" was, I think he made it pretty clear that night. I went to his place after he got back, to pick up a ring I had forgotten on his birthday, and he didn't even say anything. I haven't talked to him since. I was very angry and hurt for a few days, but life goes on.
I successfully completed my first semester at George Mason University on December 19th. It kinda feels official now, I'm a college student. It wasn't so bad, I'm still adapting but I think college and I will get along. And it's pretty damn sweet to have a month off, spring classes don't start until January 23rd.
I'm still working. I got a raise.
Lisa and I still go out a lot. The hooka bar is our new "home away from home", we go there at least once a week. It's a great place to just relax, talk, smoke a hooka, and have a drink - non-alcoholic of course. We're friends with the staff and the regulars, all older men from Middle Eastern countries. No girls - I like that a lot.
Sam and I celebrated the day we left for London exactly a year ago, December 26th, with dinner and a pedicure. We reminisced a little and talked a lot about our current lives and future plans. If everything goes as planned, Sam will be living in London this time next year, and I'll be over there visiting and celebrating the start of 2007.
Christmas was nice and quiet. I spent most of the weekend with Isabella and JonCarlos, my cousin Sara's babies. They are a handful, being only 16 and 5 months old, but they're also beautiful, adorable, and so very lovable. Even when they smell like poop and throw up on you.
The new year celebration should be wild and crazy and fun. Our family from New York is coming down, and they are famous for making great parties. We'll all spend the night at Sara's and probably drink, dance, and laugh our way into 2006. We might even go to the casinos in West Virginia, and I'll be able to go this year, although I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to gamble.
And now I want to self-tag myself from Sam's blog and list five strange things about myself in no particular order, because coincidentally I've recently been reminded of all the strange things about myself.
1. I am madly obsessed with Vick's Vapor Rub. Whenever I'm sick I use/overuse the ointment, the inhaler, and the decongestant nose spray. I just love how it smells. I used to have a humidifier that used Vick's as a kid, because I had mild asthma, so think I associate the smell to comfort and relief. But I love the stuff.
2. When it comes to men, I have a thing about hair. I like guys with shaggy hair, red hair, curly hair, facial hair, happy trails, leg hair, arm hair, chest hair...you get the idea.
3. I can't be in the same room with a pimple. If I know you, I will attack your pimple. It's gross I know, but I can't help it. The other day I popped my cousin's nose pimple, and it exploded onto my forehead and all over my fingers. Disgusting, but it was such a relief.
4. I can bend the top joint of my fingers. I used to think everyone could do it, but in middle school I realized I was wrong when I freaked out some classmates.
5. I can't think of anything else, so I have to steal one of Sam's, which also applies to me. I clean my room almost daily, everything is usually clean and organized, but my car is a mess. I think there are about 10 empty bottles and cans of various beverages in the back seat, I haven't washed it since the summer, and if it wasn't for the can of orange scented odor neutralizer I keep in there, who knows what it would smell like.
