The Sunshine in California Ain't No Joke

Sorry for the hiatus, been living life. That's the goal in life right? To be living it.
For those who prefer things to the point. I've been working and sleeping and eating and having fun. For those who prefer more detail in the things they read, carry on with me.

My job is more than I could have hoped to have found. I am a copywriter at a creative agency called Butchershop where we put a lot of meat into our ideas then grill them up right nice. I get to write for a living! How incredibly thrilling. Everyone I work with is brilliant in their own way with creativity coming out their ears. It's an amazing environment in an amazing place. And I'm beyond thrilled if you couldn't tell.
Yeah, they've won a lot of Golden Globes
RAD, amiright?

My younger sister, Bobo, came in town a few weeks back for my company Christmas party. We drank. We danced. We laughed. We laughed some more. The next day we packed as many San Francisco tourist activities into one day while taking public transit. The public transit aspect sounds like it was a challenge we decided to take on, but was mostly because we're poor and I have a monthly bus pass. She got to experience a guy threatening to fight another guy on a crowded bus–a spacious place to have a fight. We went to Golden Gate Park, Haight/Ashbury (where I live on the corner of the street, just kidding I live in an apartment), Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street, saw the Golden Gate and the Bay Bridge from afar, and ended at Magnolia, a small batch chocolate shop in the Mission. It was super fun.
We clean up real nice.

I was also able to go home for Christmas and spend time with my family in a house with so much food! Seriously, there were Doritos and bagels and steak galore. There was also some wonderfully historical conversation with family members. To put it really creatively and well thought out, I like old shit. Bobo, Mom and I went ice skating outside in Las Vegas. It was great. We also played with the train for hours on end when the kids I babysat in Salt Lake came to visit my family for a few days. We also had milk shakes, m&ms, pizza, built some bears at Build a Bear, and drank some serious cocktails.

I spent most of New Year's Eve laying in bed watching Netflix. You'd think I was sponsored by Netflix by now because of how much I talk about it. Plot twist, I'm not. In the evening one of my friends had a New Year's party that was loads of fun with a cherry on top. There were hats and kazoos and snacks and drinks and music and dancing. Everyone was dressed to the nines and smiles filled the room like oxygen. Thanks to my mom for letting me wear her dress from the '90s. And thanks Scott Lindemann for bring the camera.
Really life is just wonderful right now. To all my friends and family elsewhere, I miss you guys so much and come visit me in San Francisco!! I promise people hardly ever threaten to fight others on buses.
