Well, anyway, vacation was awesome. Got to see a lot of friends that I don't get to see very often, including my brother and sister-in-law. Got closer to a lot of people, met a few more, overall a good weekend. I'm content knowing that I have friends a good distance away; although I wouldn't mind them being here, and even if it is a good car ride to visit any of them, I happy that they are there. I know it sounds strange, but having long-distance friends helps me cope with a lot of things, especially during those times I need to "get away." Like I needed to this weekend. ^_^ I think it's helping me grow up, too. I know that sounds strange, but honestly, growing up is something I've been working on a long time. I know I'm not that mature when it comes to a lot of things, and some of those things I don't want to change. But I still need to concentrate on bettering myself, and it's good to feel like you're accomplishing something within you. Eh, I'm rambling. Anyway.

Had a good time at the game, got to spend a lot of time with Mike, Mark, Jamie (whom I just met. Damn, she's hot. Go Mark!), Wes and Miranda. There were quite a few others, as well, but those were the main people I actually got to visit with, as well as the people I really wanted to see (well, except Larry, who couldn't hang with us very much). It was sad to leave, but at least I know I can visit them whenever I just need an escape again. I feel very much at home there. Hell, if I knew I could land a good job, I would consider moving there. But that's not really an option.

Then again, maybe it is... Hmm... I shall dwell more on that topic at another time. Whatever my decision is, it is not now, surely.

Anyway, point being, I'm nice and relaxed now. I really needed that. Thanks to everyone that went, and to those that put us up! (and since Dade is the only one on here in that grouping, I guess most of the thanks go to you! ^_^)
