sea of love
“I was living in a devil town / didn’t know it was a devil town / Oh lord it really brings me down / ’bout the devil town // All my friends were vampires / didn’t know they were vampires / turns out I was a vampire myself in the devil”
—Bright Eyes
“All I want is you, will you be my bride? / Take me by the hand and stand by my side / All I want is you, will you stay with me? / Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.”
—Barry Louis Polisar
I’ve done so much and written sooooooo little! Sorry folks. I just can’t keep up. The most recent excitement I can remember is my little midwest tour: Anna/Stephie in Sauk Prairie, shopping with my mom and dining with her and my dad in Middleton, hanging out in Madison briefly, then visiting Jenny in Chicago which was awesome!, and saw Stephie and Mike and Talked Republican (hey, I agree w/ you on SOME things, Steph), then to G&G’s in Baraboo. All in all a lovely trip, and a great surprise to see my SF-bound sister+family! Other recent excitement: finding a bike for Jeff! Woo! Well, we haven’t found IT yet, but we are gonna. I can’t wait to bike the lakes w/ him!
Anyway. I have OLYMPIC FEVER. THREE MONTHS from yesterday aaaaaaaah. I can’t wait.
Diana returns to the US tomorrow. AH-mazing.
My job is totally kickass.
I’m totally getting married in less than six months. Woo!
I finally saw JUNO and it totally got to me!
It’s TOTALLY SPRING.
Obama is TOTALLY WINNING.
Woo! Now, time for a retrospective…
Things I was doing around this time years and years ago:
8 years ago… senior prom, which, contrary to typical-ness, was amazing
7 years ago… end of frosh year in college, arriving back to my hometown of the time, Madison
6 years ago… getting ready to go to YELLOWSTONE with Matt! Put on my weird show for my roommates. Moving into Apt 3!
5 years ago… SPAIN!!!!!!!! First time ever in Europe. Incredible! To see Jenny Jane!
4 years ago… putting up the senior show…graduating with all my friends…”warming up the crowd”
3 years ago… first ‘real’ raise and official officialness at Olive! moved into my first solo apt
2 years ago… weirdly, I don’t remember a lot about this time from two years ago. Sorry. OH yeah I moved to Minneapolis. Yeehaw!
1 year ago… HAMJAM craziness…shortly followed by our engagement, woo!
So, yeah, that was fun.
What else…well I think I covered it. Sorry this is such a LAAAAME update but at least it’s an update. I intend to get to bed early but I no longer feel tired. Dang! That’s all I got. Happy Mothers’ Day!
