Is anybody there?

Um...hello? Does anybody still read this? I can't be sure, but I don't care too much since I only write this to satisfy my own narcissistic whims. I also thought a quick post would clear up any rumors or worries that perhaps I was no longer alive. Four months is an awfully long time to catch up on though, so I would like to try a different format for this blog... one that includes bullet points. I really think bullet points get a bad rap. Pity.

Annyywaaaayyyyss.....here we go.

*I'm back in Australia.
*Season has started and we are 9-0 currently. Yep. We're pretty good.
*I work at the store that I worked at last year in my free time. I now speak fluent Aussie.
*I went to an Eminem concert in Sydney. It blew my mind.
*I'm still best friends with my coaches sausage dog. We take lots of selfies.
*I will be playing in Europe again next season.
*I don't know where yet, so relax.
*My mom arrives tomorrow and is visiting for a month.
*We haven't seen each other in almost two years. Our airport scene will be epic.
*She's 100% going to be in tears before she even sees me.
*I won't cry.
*Not because I'm heartless, but because I recently watched Toy Story 3 and I'm all cried out.
*I am taking my mom to Bali Wednesday for her birthday. And because I'm awesome.
*Hopefully that last point encourages more people to visit me.
*My hair is very blonde these days.
*I'm still accepting care packages in the form of cash donations. Things are pretty tight.
*I'm totally kidding. I don't need your cash. But a box of goodies is always delightful.
*If you aren't clear on what goodies means,  don't guess...email me. I'll give you an itemized list. Please don't send me random crap.
*I'm coming home for Christmas this year. Clear your calendar. And then fill it up with cool stuff for us to do.
*I can't believe it's already May.
*I can't wait to see my mom.
*I am planning to backpack through New Zealand after season before I go back to Europe.
*I just did two weeks of camps for my club and have concluded that kids are the worst.
*Seriously. Have they always been this way?
*I finally finished How I Met Your Mother. Way to go writers, even I didn't see that coming.
*But one cool twist doesn't make up for a largely depressing final season.
*NBA playoffs are fantastic right now.
*Was I the only one really disappointed in American Hustle? More like American Snooze, am I right? Ok that joke didn't really work like I thought.
*I had a delightful Easter. I went to church in Perth with friends and then spent the day with them in the city. God is good.
*One of my oldest friends from middle school recently got engaged. So that was cool for her.
*I miss Seattle.
*I miss home more.
*My best friend created his own awesome App called Players Coach. Get it. Otherwise I'll de-friend you.
*Has anyone heard of this book called Kite Runner? I just read it. It's fantastic. I bet they end up adapting it to a movie. You heard it here first.
*Who's missed my comedy? Raise those hands proudly. Don't worry, no one can see you, so no one can judge you.
*I started biting my nails again. Then I stopped. But now I am biting them again.
*I'm obsessed with the rubik's cube again.
*I'm in the process of inventing a contraption that will scramble the cube for you after you complete it. You're welcome.
*I'm a huge fan of this new format.
*Donald Sterling is a douche.

Alrighty folks, I think that should answer all the important questions. If not, feel free to comment, remembering I reserve the right to ignore the stupid ones. Hope you are all well!

  1. -I like this format, too, especially if it means you would post more. Photos are nice, but not necessary.
    -I cried at the end of Toy Story 3, too. If you cried, that means no one can resist.
    -So GLAD you're coming home for Christmas!
    -I loved American Hustle, but Searching for LLewyn Davis was my favorite film of last year.
    -So glad you got to go to church on Easter!
    -I've heard of Kite Runner, but am afraid to read it. Is it depressing?
    -The reason you bite your fingernails is that you have trouble sitting still.
    -Love the idea of the Rubik's Cube scrambler. I bet it would have sold like hotcakes in the 80s.
    -I'm excited about your visit with your mother! I already miss her. Take good care of her. (I know you will.)

  2. You're not dead. Yay! Nothing against dead people (except the smell).
    "selfies with sausage dog" -yeah that we never get to see.
    I wanna go with you to Kiwi land! I can fit in a backpack if you make two leg holes.
    Make some good memories with Mum!
