Went on vacation to Myrtle Beach. It was...just okay. The room was nice, the pool and hot-tubs were okay, but I feel like I didn't do much while I was down there. Most of the time we just sat in our hotel room doing stuff on our electronic devices. I guess we were hoping it'd be warmer because it was close to the beach, but that was not the case. Once again not a bad vacation, but definitely not in my top ten.
As a native South Carolinian, let me tell you, none of us know what you yankees see in that place.
 
The Carolinas seem to be good at that - tourist trap stuff.

Of course, SC has exactly three toll roads, and one of them happens to be on Hilton Head Island.
 
I mean we pretty much went there just to have Christmas, if we did this at home it wouldn't feel any different. Its like my parents payed hotel price just to laze about for 4 days, when we could have done that at home for free!

I'm sure you could have stayed home and it would definitely have been cheaper. But as you get older, you'll come to appreciate the pure bliss of sometimes being lazy somewhere other than home.
 
I'm home from Disneyland!!

Was I missed? Please say someone missed me at least a tiny bit...:p

I will probably post a re-cap with photos later..because I feel like sharing my life with you guys.
 
It was quite fantastic! I spent a lot of my day at the Animation building in California Adventure, watching the sketch artists draw. And I got to wear a button that said it was my birthday, so all of the staff wished me 'Happy Birthday' all day, which was fun. My in-laws took me out for BBQ for dinner (my favorite food).

Yes, I know, I act like a 5 year old, not the 24 year old that I am.
 
I miss high school band and marching in Mardi Gras parades. :(

Don't miss high school, though. Gods, I was glad to get out of that hell hole.
 
Welcome back! I hope you had the best birthday ever!
Thank you!! It was so much fun and I feel so lucky to have the family that I do.

My old HS band was there over the weekend, too. They're marching in the Rose Parade tomorrow. :)
Hey, I saw them! There was a bunch of them running around the parks. My brother-in-law and I were talking about them since he's in marching band, and I was in marching band when I was in high school.

A recent post on Tumblr reminded me of one of the stranger events in my life, it happened back when I was a teenager. I was at church for the Ash Wednesday service, and I was sitting with some of my friends up in the balcony. One of my friends, Brian, started talking about how he thought I liked a girl named Meagan. He wasn't content to just suggest that I liked her, he went on to suggest the sexual things he thought I should do to her, and that's when I punched him. Laid him out with one punch, then helped him back to his feet as he apologized. I still wonder if the pastor saw it or not.

You surprise me sometimes. Pleasantly, I assure you. I always come close, but I never quite have you pegged. That's a great story.

... God works in mysterious ways?
 
That is an awesome story FigmentPez! I've hardly ever gone to church myself. Mostly because I figure if I sat there for too long either I or the church would burn in unearthly flames. And that would just RUIN my weekend.
 
Apparently mulling spices can go bad... especially if they're over a decade old. Oh well, brandy for drinking in the new year then, instead of mead.

I really love that I can rate posts stuff like hugs, informative and brofist here on the forums. I feel so limited by like or favorite. Seriously, that moment when you want to like an unhappy post to show support, but you don't want it to come across as schadenfreude...

"I liked that you're sharing your troubles and I hope things get better, I'm not really liking that your toaster caught on fire.*"


*No one's toaster caught on fire, but what did happen someone might think I could conceivably be happy about for petty, selfish reasons.
 
Does anyone else think "anti-life equation" is a weird name? I understand the Martian origin of the name, but when I first heard the name I thought it caused the opposite of life being DEATH! Its more an anti-will equation than anti-life.
 
I got punched in the face last night. This girl was really drunk and decided to punch me for literally no reason. I wasn't even talking to her. Worst part is, she has a fairly hard punch and I was feeling it a bit even this morning.

She apologized a ton today but I basically told her I'd only accept her apology if shed start drinking less. This isn't her first incident (or even her only incident last night).

Jake and I are having a conversation about Mel Brooks. He just asked "what would it be like if he and Louis CK wrote something?" I'll have to think about that.
