“Was it the Sprees?!”

—Erik, 10/16/11, that caused everyone sleeping in

“I told you, I ate my beets and kale and then passed out.” “Wow, you’re a party animal.”

—me and Jeff, 10/15/11, after he and Erik came back after the concert

“I mean, I’m not a d-bag. I’m not going to show you my abs and make you do a jello shot from my belly button.” / “I have no conscience in myself. I mean confidence.”

—gems from a 21yo male, out at Psycho Suzi’s, 1am, 10/14/11

growing, growing, growing

It’s amazing how one can adapt, how the body and/or mind adjusts to adaptation of expectations. The things I used to get mad about or jealous about or seethe about just months ago are no longer, mostly because I’ve finally come to recognize this (= part of my 2011 mantra): It Is What It Is. I’ve been saying it, but maybe, just maybe, I finally believe that it’s true?

You have to take what you can get.

Which won’t always be everything.

(+ don’t worry, there are other things I’m still managing to be upset/envious about. Still growing.)

A lot of good writing to be had but it is not long for this blog. Alas. I am also again doing the Fish comic, but that may change into a drawing-journal instead. Whatever the case – that’s What’s Up and that might be where a lot of this goes. Vamos a ver.

I had a most wonderful weekend of randomness (out w/ Kristin and friends Friday, woo hoo!), friends (Cole and A-K, YAY!) + food (farmer’s market/Patisserie 46), biking in the crazy wind, a long swim, cooking and baking and hanging out with Jeff, and Erik and Jeff. Lots going on.

It’s already mid October.

It’s fall.

It’s 2011. But it’s almost 2012.

Fall fall fall. So many things to think about. For some reason it’s very memory-rich, this time of year.

Happy Fall.
