The best part of L.A. is being away for a while. It allows me to get my head on away from the silly callousness I experience on a daily basis. Because the absense of L.A. allows me focus on the ideal of the city. To remember the reason I came in the first place. There really is no city like it in the world, and when I return after being away from a bit, it really feels like home.

I was in Pennsyvania from 12/22-12/30, flew to Vegas for a New Years event and woke up in a strange bed, fully clothed in a Ryan Seacrest-like tux, yet missing my friends and about $300 cash I had won at blackjack. Yea, I was so bored I actually gambled.

Vegas included the usual cast of characters, minus Pepperdine Barbie-who went back to meet her friends and see REO Speedwagon at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills. We had seen enough of each other at that point, having spent the week together in Pa. Plus, I knew Tracy would be in Vegas, and although she has a supposed new boyfriend, I didn't want to flaunt my relationship in her face. Actually, strike relationship from the record, and replace it with something less committal. Maybe "banana." Yea, that works.

On the intellectual front, I got my SATs back. I beat Alex but lost to Summer. I ended up with a 2200. I can live with beating my best friend but losing to a fictional OC character. That's just how life is. Also, I decided to give the two hookers to Alex. I've already lived that fantasy. I would only be comparing things if I did it/them again. He really needs that experience more than I do. Stay tuned for that weekend.

I am ramping up the game right now and preparing my student. The end of 2005 tired me, and it was nice to get away from life for a bit. But now I'm ready to return.

Peace to all, and have a safe and healthy New Year.
