Which of the X-Men Are You?

i really like x-men. my brother, jeremy, collected the comic books when i was in high school (and beyond). i really enjoyed them. and, i suppose that cyclops is okay - but dude, i love LOVE rogue. THAT is who i want to be. i suppose that by not saying that powers have ruined my life i doomed myself to being NOT rogue. ah well.

so, yesterday, it snowed here in our fair city of Sparks, NV. did you read that? SNOWED! we went to a birthday party for one of irene's classmates and the plan was BIG WATER FIGHT, WATER BALLOONS, get the picture? BIG OUTDOOR FUN....it snowed. crazy. and it was beautiful with no cluds an hour or so ago, but now i see big, dark, black, scary clouds in the sky. yeesh.

today we're going to our friends' house for a late lunch/early dinner. we're working on cultivating our friendships. we don't have many friends here yet. maybe when i get back into school, i'll make more friends. i've made some friends of the parents in irene's classroom, but next year we will be attending a different school, and i'll be back at square one. oh to have the ability that children do of just being friends w/someone minutes after meeting. not having any awkwardness, just being friends. ah well. it will happen. just slowly. i used to be super socially competent. i'm not quite there anymore. it's odd to have spent most of ones life as an extrovert only to become a bit more introverted...

and b/c i apparently just sort of write in a stream of conciousness format, i'll just move along :). today i have 2 very good friends celebrating birthdays. TANYA and CHRISTY. HAPPPPPY BIRTHDAY, my friends!! Christy now lives Far Far Away in wisconsin and Tanya lives in the bay area. we used to get together at least every 2 weeks, but usually weekly. our girls all loved playing with each other. they still do, it's just a little more difficult to get together.

today is also the birthday of one of irene's friends at school, and one of her friends in petaluma. boy oh boy it's a busy day! and just in case her mama or daddy sees this blog, we'll holler a big HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY, HANNAH!!!!!!
