leprechauns and a city of dirty gold

so i'm in baltimore with my sister and my best friend. and i think that a "retreat" with just the three of us is exactly what each of us needed. i don't think that either of them understand how happy this makes me, that we can all just hang out together for a week, i'm loving it. and i think each of us thinks that same thing. we all have fun together. elaine pointed out that a lot of people think that they have fun together, but they don't. we really do. we can be sitting around at home, in elaine's office, or dancings at magurks, and we're bound to be having a great time (busts into "with or withoooouuut you").

every now and then, its really necessary to take a break, from school, sure, but from the life you're used to. this not only gives you a fresh perspective on your life, but it leaves you refreshed to get back into your life. being dropped in a plalce you really don't know anyone and allowed to explore and make friends and have fun is just a spectacular experience.

also. something that i had noticed before, but really struck me recently... new england girls... just not that pretty. midwestern girls are just a lot hotter (...per capita...) so not only are we the most fun. we're hot too... heh.

and thats where the leprechauns come in.
elaine is really lucky to have made the friends she has made in such a short time of being in "baldimore" and i find myself once again hoping that i am able to do the same when put in her place. this didn't work out so well in college, i didn't have the incredible friend network that elaine had in the dorms, and i wish i was more social, or did something different in order to have that, but i made friends. we'll see how i work out in her shoes next time. so back to the short green people. we've had an awesome time so far celebrating st. patty's. in a city with an irish overstock, this celebration seems never ending, it's been going on for a while, and yesterday was the climax, i suppose it'll continue to the weekend... who knows. green beer, irish folksongs, and GOLD for everyone! (minus any real gold.)

i woke up in mah baythin suit and IIII feeel FIIIINE.
