I'm a big fan of Sobe Fruit Beverages, but they market them by saying they're energy boosters. How come every time I have my favorite, the Lizard Fuel (strawberry and banana flavored concoction), I get super tired? I think that all of the sugar in these things cancel out all of the energy-boosting ingredients.

I just realized yesterday that I'm turning 28 in nearly two weeks. I've been thinking about how I want to celebrate, and I am nervous. Even after making many new friends here in San Francisco over the past year, I'm afraid of inviting them all to join me at some celebratory spot and ending up with a harsh reminder that my life-long relationships are still all on the East Coast. Insecure? No, I've just learned some tough lessons about being on my own, on the other side of the country without the security of knowing so many people who are there to catch me if I fall. I've learned that I need to be able to count on myself, and that I can do so without hesitation. I'm going to be fine. After all, how many other people do I know that could have gone to another part of the country, or world as some of my new friends have done, and succeed. I've made friends and know people I can count on without even having a social outlet through my job. GO ME!!!

I have a horrible kink in my neck from sleep last night. I didn't realize how late it was when I had that Double Mocha after dinner. I will next time.

I had a great weekend. I met some new friends that I've been meaning to hang out with for a while, through a social club in the bay area. I helped a friend move. I ate at two new-to-me restaurants. I played catch with a football at the park. I got sunburn while sunbathing at another park. I took a nap. I had dinner by myself and people-watched to my heart's content. I spent time with a new friend. I read a book. Definitely makes coming to work on Monday morning easier.
