Well it took about 6 years, but Los Angeles finally had an earthquake that I felt. Six years and one earth quake. I’ve almost been mugged, shot, or stabbed more times than I’ve felt an earthquake out here. I’m not sure what to say about Los Angeles, at times, but all those who warned me about earthquakes were way off, at least for now. I’m well aware that “within 30 years” we’re supposed to have an earthquake of magnitude 6.8 or greater.

Is anyone else a little weary of that statistic? You give me a 30 year window and I can predict one of the world series winners, world cup, and probably two or three super bowl winners. What i am trying to say is that I’m not too convinced that it’s certain, more than it is likely.

Anyways, it has come to my attention that I have not gone on many dates lately. I don’t think this is really a fault of mine, as much as it is I’ve been having so much fun just going out and having a good time. Going out with Dan, Jordan, Brian, Steph, Russ (whenever he gets his ass out of lab) and whoever else I run into is a lot more fun for me.  And it’s more important, as well.

I’ve generally had friends through circumstance- we worked or lived together, but now I’ve got a solid group of friends that I can go out with or talk about anything (I emphasize anything) with. It was one of those things that I always felt I lacked, even though I’ve been popular or funny or whatever the hell you want to call it.

I’m going surfing Saturday- and I’m pretty excited. I’m renting a board and what not from Cal Tech, and I’m going to get my ass kicked, I think. I’m going with a friend who is only here for the summer, but seems to take advantage of it more than most people I know. Regardless of how I do, It’ll be another thing I can cross off my list of things I’ve been meaning to do. And who knows, maybe it’ll be simply amazing and i’ll do it all the time.

Or I’ll suck at it and want to sleep about a million hours afterwards, like Blue Bobby always used to. I guess I’ll find out.
