The Summer in review

As summer comes to a close I figure I'd update you all on the craziness that has kept me away from the computer, complete with pictures. Summer really started with my 25th birthday. I had a Rodeo pro and cowgirl hoe party. Both my sisters and my BFF from san diego came out and we al had a drunken good time.
That is until I was stung by a wasp for the first time ever. I was stung right on my ass, not fun! But I just did a few more Jello shots and all was right in the world again.
After my birthday I headed out to Colorado for my family reunion. It was really fun to be able to hang out with my cousins and the rest of the fam. The last time I saw them was about five years ago and we have all grown up a lot since then.
After Colorado I came back home and hit up warped tour in SF. My roadie got me into the show and I had a great time. I hung out with my co-worker and then got to chill with the band for a bit after the show before heading off to my first Pride, where I danced the night away in the middle of the street surrounded by half naked people. Both were really fun!
I think one of my favorite parts of the summer was the culinary adventure crew. My friends Adam, David and I started our own little cooking adventures. We all got together once a week and made an awesome meal and dessert and watched a movie together. It was a really enjoyable experience and I was really glad to get to know the both of them better. In between all these dinner was lots of fun nights at the bars especially Hunters. I think I went to more gay bars that straight bars this summer and had the time of my life dancing the night away. There were some fun bon fire nights, plenty of games of I've never and even a few hikes and late night drives. I went to a few ball games with friends but never rooted for the home team. I think the craziest two weeks though had to be when my friend Tom came from England. Most of that two weeks was a blur so I'll just give you the high lights in the form of a list.
1. Hanging out in the Haight and buying some awesome drum and base
2. Josh and I took Tom to his first baseball game.
3. Mini Rave at my house, dancing the night away
4. Hanging out at the beach house it Watsonville
5. Playing in the ocean
6. Drinking games with a big group of people
7. Driving down to Long Beach
8. Disneyland and CA adventure

9. Concert in the park with Josh's Aunt
10. Driving to San Diego and talking about the most random things in the world.
11. Baring it up in San Diego every night.
12. The San Diego Zoo cracked out of our minds on Caffeine
13. Playing at the arcade all day and getting enough tickets for a black light
14. Being able to show two of my closest friends my hame town!
15. Driving back from San Diego listening to awesome music
16. One last party before Tom left back to england
17. Warped tour again and hanging with co-workers and my good friend who always gets me into shows!
I think that's pretty much my summer. I'm sure I missed things but those are the high lights and now I have two days left before school starts and I take a month off from drinking and partying. We'll see how that goes. I'll try to be better about blogging on a more regular basis. Hope you all had a wonderful summer as well!
