I just returned home from the Pali-High fireworks display. It represented a few firsts for me, first 4th as someone out of the nest, first time going to something like that by myself, first LA public event.

So I just got a nudge in my e-mail from the lovely Miss Jessica Davis reminding me that I haven't updated this in a loooooong time, so I thought I'd best stop in ( Read more... )

I haven't updated in a long time. I wonder how many times I'll start entries that way... Finals and work and everything has been really crazy. Whatever.
