CASEY IS COMING TO SPAIN!
Last week we finally got his ticket! He'll actually be leaving California ON Christmas, because it'll save us money, so I won't get him on my birthday but the day after Christmas, and then he'll stay until January 13th. I'm so fucking exciting, there are no words. Basically, all my Christmas money is going towards this ticket, but having him here is the best present I could imagine.
In other exciting news, SatAmrit and Mailee came to visit this week, and it was glorious. I discovered that I was definitely not prepared to be a very effective tour guide, and I feel like I may have been a little bit of a failure, but I did manage to take them to see the Alhambra and to get paella and I took them out to Camborio and to La Sal (randomly) and they got to meet Karim and Leto and we got to Skype with Zella and it was almost like being back together with my favorite Santa Cruz ladies.

It was generally just kind of surreal and awesome having them here with me. Made home somehow seem further away, though, especially since they're going back to CA in December, which seems so close compared to my return date. If I hadn't extended, my trip would already be a third over. Weird. It's also strange to think about the fact that they, and many other friends, are graduating, so by the time I come back people are going to be scattering. It's easy to forget that college isn't real life and that all your friends will scatter and do different things with their lives. I'm really glad I'll have Casey in Santa Cruz with me, though. House hunting with a dog is going to suck, but once we find a place life will be lovely.
Aaaanyway, yesterday was Friday, so Casey got:
Super strong manly mints! Not for girly men. Why? Because he has a mint addiction, and these are funny.
Well, it's a cold sleepy Saturday and I'm on the verge of either going back to sleep or making some tea, but either way I will be thrifting my life away in a while because the thrift shop down the street is having an everything for ONE EURO sale. I need some man-sweaters in my life, yesiree I do.
In closing, I leave you with this fabulous drawing that SatAmrit made of Gypsy, who is apparently a boy kitty:

Totally warmed by this. Things like: you having your friends, Casey coming, talk of "when you are back to SC". You are my super girl...big fat ass feelings.
