I must say that I had an amazing summer vacation and it was great to see all the smiling faces I haven't seen in a while. Some years. Humans are social beings. We don't live alone.

I actually read somewhere that when we evolved eyes on the front of our heads, rather than the sides. We gained greater depth perception but then lost the ability to percieve things that aren't directly in front of us. Many animals can see in an almost 360 degree radius but we couldn't. So to protect ourselves from predators we began to live together in groups so that rather than one eye we'd have many.

So I just wanted my many eyes to know I actually love and appreciated seeing you guys.

My soul mate aka we're two cuckoo bird. nicoel and I at the now infamous engagement party. Let me explain. We were both craving birthday cake so we went to pricesmart and bought one. So most places who sell cakes will write on them for free. So I suggested they write on it Happy engagement. Jokes are jokes guys, we@re not crazy. Actually yeah we are.

Gabrielle my soon to be lawyer and the interminable voice of reason in every situation.

Denise and Michelle, form back in the party mobile days. And when I say party mobile I mean the camry with teh windows that would start and stop working at will. But it sure took us everywhere we needed to go.

The Beaver Electric- nuff said.

My esteemed hosts in Gotham City, (note the juicebox sake and japanese train porn.)

My bffny Tim and I comforted each other when we lived in teh city of high rents and exploitative employers. The funny thing is I feel like we both want to move back real bad. So we can complain about our high rents, late subway trains and exploiative employers.

Darcy and I are gonna get married someday. I'm convinced.

All I have to say is <3

And to those who always bring the party.

Tiny dancer I will never be able to get enough you.
