it's kirs

Yo, this photo be cray. I just found it on my harddrive.

Anyway, went apartment hunting again today, but the owner and agent didn’t respond to our emails or pickup their phones when we got to the property to see it, so we just left.
Oh well.

Then I spent the rest of the evening sort of reminiscing in my head about the Con, and about New Years in Florida. Re-watched some of the videos, and I got me some mad nostalgia again.
I love that we’re all such nerds, conversing in speech memes and making references that only our community would understand. I look back, and I’m like, wow, we really don’t give a damn how strange we all looked together, or how strange we all sounded; we just enjoyed each other’s company. And we still do.

I can’t wait until November to see those FREAKS again, and meet up with others. It’ll feel so warm to see their faces and feel their presence again. 

EDIT: Oh god. Just watched our New Years video (I didn’t post it anywhere), and the very first thing we say after “HAPPY NEW YEAR!” is “HEEEEY JOHNNAAAAAY!” …

It’s weird to be back in a virtual space with my friends, rather than physical.


I’m starting to get over it, though, especially since we’re already planning our next meet up. Hopefully this time, it’ll be in my apartment in Chicago, and over Thanksgiving.
Finally, a chance to cook for my friends, and fein adulthood by hosting a holiday at my own flat. Funny how I’m actually excited for this, and would sooner do it for online friends rather than real life friends. I suppose most of that derives from the fact that I have more online friends than irl friends who would willingly come to my place instead of family for a holiday.

Anyway. That. 


ps. I have no recollection of why I was searching for “sauce” in the window beneath Skype. 

Sorry for the inactivity lately, everyone.

As some of you may know, I spent the last week in Atlanta and Miami. I met up with some of the greatest people I know, and spent the New Year with them. We pulled a bunch of crazy antics, sang and ate everything, shared laughs and endured tears. Those days all seem like they were forever ago, but at the time seemed like we had been together for a much, much longer time. It was amazing.
I felt so comfortable with them, and…It felt like for once, everything was right and meant to be. Seeing them was something that was meant to happen, and my little online world became real. It became something physical, and I wanted to be around them all the time. No more of this home body, glued to the computer business. I was with them 24/7, and I enjoyed every second of it. I wanted more.

Eh.

Now I’m in North Carolina with my sister, and I’m missing their company and comfort, dearly. Talking to them online again just feels weird and sad. Empty, almost. But hopefully, I’ll see them again soon, and I’ll be full of these wonderful feelings again.

I’m not articulating very well, so here’s a picture of us being HATERS GONNA HATE.

After my flight was delayed literally 5 times, having an engine failure, and some prolonged descending time, I finally arrived in Georgia and met up with my friends. We drove two hours back to Sabs’ house and now we’re staying the night. I’m awake cause I couldn’t sleep and my brain was exploding with thoughts.

After spending only a few hours with these people, I feel so comfortable with them. It’s ridiculous. I feel like they’re friends from back home in Singapore, friends I’ve known in person for my life, and…generally, people I’m really comfortable with in a social setting. Sure, there are still some awkward bubbles, but those will pass.

Tomorrow, we’re headed to Dave’s place. And I’m am BALLS excited to see him, as we all are.

Here’s a picture of when I landed. It’s Will and Casey with me.

I’m flying to Georgia today.
Oh god.

Despite the fact that my uncle is three hours late to pick me up for Christmas Eve dinner prep/dinner and nochebuena, I’m still in a holiday spirit. I’ve got my snowflake swag on, my presents wrapped, the pink tree in the corner of my room lit and family waiting to celebrate everything.

Aside from that, I’m leaving for my Georgia/Florida/North Carolina trip in three days. Now, just try and tell me that that isn’t something to be happy about.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE! 

ps. Stayed up until 6am wrapping those presents.
