Haha, this is Elena, my cousin. My bro and I thought it'd be funny to make them wear the ugliest clothing we could find from the Salvation Army, and they werent allowed to oen any other gifts until they put the clothes on. Well, it wasnt funny. It was HILLARIOUS. And it worked. I know we're bastards, but it made my day.
Back from Xmas
Had a nice trip back to freezing Syracuse for Xmas weekend. Saw the family, etc. Got some kick-ass gift certificates, which I asked for since I couldnt bring much back with me in my carry-on. I think this was, and will be, the only time that I'm excited about getting a gift card to Pier 1. But when you have an apartment to furnish, Pier 1 KICKS ASS! Wow that was sad. But true. I'm gonna buy a blender...but so as to not feel wussy, I'm only gonna use it for liquor-based drink mixing. No food processing, smoothies, or milkshakes. Ok maybe milkshakes.

Off to Cuse
I'm heading out tonight on an 11pm flight out of San Diego, getting into Syracuse at 9:15am. Yay. For the next 4 days I'll be in Cuse, then back to sunnyland on Monday afternoon. I'll post some Xmas pics eventually.

My new tv, mmmmmmmmmmm. If you knew how good of a deal I got on this you'd cry. In fact, while crying you'd probably beg me to get you one for my price. The room was dark and the flash went off, so I got that white blotch in the bottom right. And notice, Miami is only losing to the Pats by 4. Craziness.
UPDATES BELOW
Ok, this post is so you know that I've added a bunch of stuff showing random things I've been doing in San Diego for the last few weeks, so just scroll down and you'll see where the "Road Trip" stuff ends and the "Latest Happenings in San Diego" stuff begins.
The very "festive" holiday party
So this holiday party I was invited to by Laura, who very few of you may know from high school...but since I only talk to about 3 people from high school still, we'll just refer to her the girl I went to high school with who now lives in San Diego, Laura. She invited me to the holiday party at her apartment complex, which was very cool. Basically it was a large rectangle of apartments surrounding a large courtyard. It was extensively decorated for Christmas, tons of lights, etc. I actually arrived before Laura, who was coming back to the party from another event. So when I arrived, a nice woman let me in the entrance gate, and I told her I knew Laura. What Laura failed to tell me was that about 85% of her entire complex was gay. Ok that's cool, whatever...except I didnt realize this until long after I arrived wearing my "I am the man from Nantucket" t-shirt. Oops. Oh well, it was almost an honor to get hit on all night. It doesnt happen to me that often, so I didnt let the fact that it was all men ruin my flattered happiness. I felt like the belle of the ball. Laura thought it was hillarious..luckily I had another shirt on underneath, so the man from Nantucket went bye bye. Regardless, the party was actually a lot of fun. The mini keg of Becks that I drank helped a bit I'm sure, but still it was a great time overall.
