hello again blog, and happy birthday to me

 hello blog. 

This semester really took it out of me. I came dangerously close to failing more than one of my classes, I felt lonely and bored and etc etc etc. I stopped posting on here because, like many people right now, I didn't have enough room in my wee little head to store yet another hobby. I'm also back working in a restaurant but only two shifts a week so it's not much time occupied (for C-U friends, it's Siam Terrace on Saturdays and Sundays if you want to come pick up some pad thai and say hi). Speaking of hobbies, I've gotten back into collecting dolls and stuffed animals, and currently am trying to pare down my collection a bit before I go back to college. Solomia got me a stuffed anteater for my birthday (which was yesterday-- happy 20th to me!!!) that is also a puppet and I am so in love with him (and so in love with all my friends!). Yesterday, aka my 20th birthday, me and Xanthe and Solomia went for like a 3 mile walk between 4pm and 7:30pm in fancy outfits and took a ton of pictures, most on disposable cameras that I need to get developed still. And if you're reading this and wished me a happy birthday, thank you!! I'm so happy to be getting older and learning every single day. Plus my mother made the best cake I've ever had and my dad made chorizo tacos and I felt just so happy. We watched Arrested Development as well, I think my family is currently on our like 8th or 9th rewatch since I was a little kid, and I love noticing new things about it every single time. Anyways there's a quick life update for you. It's 2:00pm and I'm currently still in bed (snuggling the cats, both of them are in here as per ush) so I'm going to get up and eat some ramen and cake and have a good lazy day. I hope to post on here a little more often, just for the consistency, maybe I'll ramp it up to quite often, hopefully for a long while. Wouldn't it be cool to have a semi-public account of my life to look back on? Anyways write to you soon!
