Hello from afar(aka-the Cape)

Hello my long lost friends. I think you'll all be happy to know that I was JUST about to go for a run, but then briefly for the first time in weeks checked Lamda, and, needless to say, have made the wise choice to post here rather than sweat like a maniac in the 90 degree heat. Cheers!

Life on the Cape is wonderful and I am going to be very, very sad to leave in a few weeks. Though the tri-state/Mass eternal rivalry runs deep, I must say, I do like this ol' Commonwealth you call MA.

But seriously, life here is awesome. I got screwed out of my teaching job for the summer by some woman who couldn't remember my name (long story, will tell at later date) and so have been babysitting 3 days a week. Translation: I go to the beach/drink beer almost every day and feel like I'm 21 again. It's amazing. Also, I will be 25 in 2 weeks. Crazy. B- I'm having a quarter of a century party on one of the islands out here that weekend if you're able to come...think beer, lobster, blue crabs and late night swims. Sweet.

Matt and I are doing great. First time we've lived near each other in almost two years, and it's been a wonderful thing. He's still the same Beam you remember, only slightly more mature and with longer hair. He's next to me right now and says 'Hi'.

What else, what else. Yes, our town had a Harry Potter party on the night of the book release. Many children and nerdy adults from the OCeanographic Institute were dressed in costume and all the bars had wizard-influenced drink specials and at midnight, the streets were flooded with children reading. It almost made me cry (but that was mostly the dragon martinis, I think).

Harvey, I'll be back in the tri-state first week in September, where I will more than likely be stressed out about school/work, so let's plan an evening of dinner/cocktails for that weekend or sometime close to. Care, I like to waste time online looking at your Taiwain pics, so please continue to post. Roy (who I'm sure is reading this). I met a kid from Boston the other day who looked like your twin, only shorter. His name is Ian. Beware. Brielle-call me. You know how we do.

Wait, does Jackie still post on this, or is the blog now a Hungerford thing? Anyway, was with her all weekend-looks great, her Cali. boyfriend who I finally met is more than great, and her big move to Portland Oregon, which is happening in a few weeks seems like it will be great as well.

Ugh, now that all that BORING stuff is out of the way....
Dude, Nicole Richie's TINY body preparing to pop out a wee Richie. Discuss.
Also on the list of important, earth-shattering news: Whoopi-WHY are you going to do the View?!?!?!?

Miss you guys. Care, when do you come back to this side of the globe???

Lets start posting more regularly...aka, once a month. Love you all (even you, Warchild.)

Hearts,
A sunburned Gella.
