i'd like to make a few observations---10 to be precise...and 1 piece of advice.

1. New friends that feel like old friends are the best sort.

2. Big siblings, even the over-protective ones that get so paranoid right when you really need them to chill and be cool with things, are very comforting and wonderful.

3. There's nothing like a good old blanket dance to lift the spirits and cheer the soul.

4. Staying up basically all night with friends is totally worth it. Even if you've got a killer headache and look like death warmed over the next day.

5. The upside-down triangle that says "Yield" in the middle means that you should yield. Must remember that.

6. Brian Regan is funny. But Brian Regan at 4 in the morning is hysterical. 

7. The flying experience is fun...once you get on the plane.

8. Gabriel Yared Pandora station is grrreat.

9. It's not a good idea to try to balance two drinks in each hand while carrying your plate in your mouth. Even if you've done it a million times before. You don't always come out looking like someone with great skills...

10. Six Flags is fun just thinking about it.



1 {piece of advice}. Don't pass up an accent.

Brian Regan, just watched him at one in the morning with a kindred spirit and laughed so hard I thought my braces would pop right out. =P

hmm...that leaves a 50/50 chance that it was me. so ellie, who IS your most wonderful big sibling, me or logan? hm? OOPS!!

1. and old friends...they're also the best sort.

(do you mean the chance to use an accent, or the chance to meet one? or the chance to eat ice cream with one?)
