one of my cousins is trying to organize a family reunion this summer. i feel a little guilty because i dont care if i go. my family, on both sides, tends to do their own thing. loyalty is generally to immediate family, if then. im one of those people. also, i have an issue thinking of things to say if i havent seen someone for a long time. especially true with my family, as the course of my life and my views are so different from almost everyone im related to.

then again, maybe im making excuses.

as a member of a social species, i feel like im more solitary than most, whether by preference or choice (perhaps bred from necessity from past events; /shrug. cant escape your past it seems).

i saw redwoods for the first time yesterday. i drove to humboldt redwoods state park. the drive was pretty nice after i got away from san francisco. turns out northern california is quite pretty even if you arent right on the coast. getting back was a pain in the ass. i spent an hour in traffic in the city.

its raining. im sitting in my hotel room playing wow. oddly looking forward to getting back to new york.
