reminiscing

Well it has been only one day since my last post, but hey, life is short, and so are my posts.

It has been one year this March since I started blogging. It has been a nice alternative to myspace. But as I was talking to my friend Nathan about the other day, who needs myspace when you've got smiley faces? ;)

Let me tell you about a pet hamster I once had. He was a good hamster, never bit me or showed any behavior umbecoming of a hamster. I had a little white ball for him and he would just run around my room, as happy as a little hamster can be. He would sit on my shoulder, his talons digging in my skin. "Hey little guy!"
One day, someone who will go unnamed left the cage open. I was crushed. My parents said he was probably blithely running among the cedar chips that is hamster nirvana. I believed them until I found half of his dismembered body one morning in our garage.


Anyway, this past year has been a good one. I am very much looking forward to this year as Kevin and I set off for Brazil.

I will now go dance the bamba and practice espanol, whilst sipping tea and dreaming of tortilla soup.
