WE LIVE LIKE VAMPIRES

...minus the blood-sucking, of course. I seriously feel like we're vampires. Our humble apartment receives little to no sunlight at all! I think of my room as a dark, dank, musty coffin. *shudders* Darn tree that wraps around our apartment... blocks ALL our sunlight. Oh Penthouse, how I wish you were ours.

REASONS WHY LIFE IS GOOD RIGHT NOW:

1) First Lady Sharon Davis! 'Nuff said. She came, we talked, we hugged, she left. (And yes, she's still alive... I have no intention of doing away with her to sleep with her husband!)

2) Banana milkshakes! Yum... potassium overdose, for sure!

3) Bacon-flavored butter! I don't know why NOBODY has invented this yet! It is the BEST thing to put on toast. I feel like a fat chick after I eat, but it tastes soooo GOOD going down!

4) Dried mango slices and Jelly Bellies! (Hmmm... are you noticing a food pattern here?) My mom sure does know what I love to eat. (Ooh, she also bought me my favorite candy in the world! Too bad you can only get them at Chinese supermarkets! Yum... crushed walnuts and date!)

5) Breakfast with the roomies. (Yes, had to be another reason relating to food.) Saturday morning was Gabby's mom's famous 13-egg omelets. (Mine was heuvos rancheros-style. It's WAY too hard to flip 13 eggs at once... okay so, mine wasn't exactly 13... 3 eggs are just as hard to flip!) This morning was waffles and bacon fat on toast. Good stuff!

6) Hooray for wall space! My room finally feels like my room. I finally figured out how to put pictures up on my side of the wall so I don't get too homesick for my family and friends. I have to kinda scrunch up the curtains so that they don't hang too much over the windowsill... it's a pain, but at least my pictures are finally up.

7) My cutie-patootie of a brother isn't so little anymore. He looks so grown up. I can't wait to go back down south to watch him play basketball.

8) Kris(ten) and I have a "date" at Norms in November. Can't wait to see her (and the gay waiters at Norms)!
