HOME SWEET HOME

On Saturday morning, i finally moved out of my dorm and back to Long Island for the summer! Everyone asks me if I like(d) living in the city this past year, and my response is always the same... it's one of the most excellent experiences in the world, but we all need a break once in a while! And I seriously missed driving around aimlessly, drinking iced coffees from the local deli and spending time with my high school friends.

Therefore, I'm looking forward greatly to this huge period of rest, relaxation, and time with friends. Also of working my ass off to make money but we can overlook that part for now...

After I came home, my fam and I went to my aunts' house for my baby cousinfaces' first birthday party! I can't believe they're already a year old (it was their actual birthday today). So unreal. For the longest time I didn't have any cousins, and I'm so glad I'm at an age where I can help take care of them when they need it. The party was Elmo themed and included a guest appearance by Elmo himself. Or a creeper dude dressed up as him, anyway. But I digress... Everything was great, the weather, the food, the people... minus the awkward confrontations with family I haven't seen in a long time and friends of the family. Something I've always despised is really awkward small talk, and usually i have the ability to make people smile by saying silly stuff, but it's so hard to do that when they're awkwardly hugging you or asking about college even though they don't really care. A friend of my aunt's actually came up to me and we had a really great convo for 5 minutes and then she admitted she didn't remember my name.

And some random friend of my aunt's that I've actually never met before was mean to me right to my face. We were talking about college and I said something in response to a comment she made about my possible majors (Psych and Marketing/Advertisement) being unrelated but also related... i dunno. And she goes, "You know you're not as funny/smart as you think you are... excuse me, I have some friends to go say hello to." And fucking walks away!! WTF. I guess she didn't read the handbook on automatically being a pathetic human being by taking cheap shots at a girl 20 years her junior...

ANYWAY I think thats enough shit for now, not that i have anything else to do besides unpack and I think it's pretty obvious how much I'm looking forward to doing that... but my concluding thought for today? I watched Gossip Girl tonight and I find Ed Westwick a lot more attractive than I thought I did. Shee-ZOW.
