Sparrow has been in BC for the past 6 months, so that doesn&apos;t really count (and if you&apos;re reading this, I&apos;ll try and keep you better informed of my comings and goings &#8211; fair is fair). Mg is being kept way too busy by the lovely people he works for, so basically, last night was the first time I had fun with people other than my co-workers and my roommates. Felt good. <\/p>\n<p>It also made me realise that I need more face time with the people I care for.

I have to go pick up my passport on Monday (and dear lord, I hope I don&apos;t look like a serial killer on my picture). I&apos;m going to head to the parental units&apos; place and eat too much home cooking until the 26th. I&apos;m leaving for SF on the 27th (way too friggin early in the morning), and I&apos;ll be in California until the 4th. My goals for this trip are to relax, see some sights, and kiss a beautiful woman on new years eve.
