So apparently I...

...do the same couple of things over and over.

The nice thing about new friends is that they point out things that they notice about you, things your friends at home already know to be a part of you and your personality. When you meet someone new, you sub-consciously observe and note there actions, or so is my experience.

The top three things I've been said to mention more than often:

1. Soccer
2. Wanting to walk everywhere
3. Beer

* sometimes in the same sentence

Sounds about right.

A week in Costa Rica, I feel settled. The excited stage has warn away, and the fact that this is my home for the next few months has at last sunk in.

I haven't any real stories to write about, so I'll just blabber about things. Cool? Cool.

I met a homeless guy from Brooklyn in the park today. His name was Owen;
