LOL Leslie. I've missed ya too!
I've been back for...let's see...bout 2 weeks now. Been back on GC for prolly a week now.
Left from the end of July to August 10 on a trip to Vegas then to SoCal. LOVED Vegas, but I definitely had the most fun in SoCal. I've always thought of SoCal as my second home (I usually stay with my aunt and uncle down in Anaheim for a month each summer), though I hate an L.A. sports team in particular, the Dodgers

. Anyhow - I was only in SoCal for a week this year but loved it. I got a mean tan, and was able to wear flip-flops and tanks everyday - something you can never do in SF! lol. I'm outside in SF almost every day year-round and never get tanned

.
I went to visit colleges (UC-Santa Barbara, University of Southern California (USC), UC-Irvine, UC-San Diego)...and went to Disneyland for 2 days. The rest of the week, I spent time chillin with my sister, who just moved to Los Angeles. I also headed out to Santa Monica and Newport Beach. All in all - fun, fun, fun!
May I add, SoCal has the finest male specimens

- especially at USC and Disneyland! lol.
I really didn't want to come back home to SF. Was having too much of a blast down in LA! When I came back home to good ol' San Fran, I was greeted with the usual intense fog and cold - something that I wasn't used to anymore, after being in such warm climates for a few weeks! It was kinda weird wearing sweatshirts and hoodies again.
Anyhow, I start school on Monday. I won't be posting regularly anymore once school starts - sr. yr will definitely be very hectic for me. So I'm treasuring these last few days of summer - kinda sucks though that I'm sick right now!
P.S. Leslie, did you get the hang of the private-message thingey? I PMed you back btw
