ironic.

i liked "into the wild." im glad i don't like it this much.

music in the car.

i'm to the point where i can pretty much hum the note of the next song in the gap between songs for all six of the cds in the fancy cd changer in my mother's mini van. i love that. it's like a genuine relationship between driver and cds that no ipod with shuffling abilities and song ADD could match.

plus it's stressful to get in someone's car and they hand you their ipod and you try to read their mind for what they want. no, i like listening to cds over and over again until the season's changed and it's time for new music.

WILLIAM MORRIS 

I <3 YOU

how often do you get out of housework by doing calligraphy?

only when hundreds of wedding announcements need to be addressed 

and you've been practicing your cursive since a year ago spring 

when you went to wordsworth's house and saw his journals 

and decided that if ever another person looks at your journal, 

you should have pretty handwriting. 

a little bit embarrassing? yes. 

turned out i was really just investing time 

into a skill that would be useful in the future?? YES.

this one is also only half a joke. we're really sending it

engaged!!

well okay, not me.

i'm going on a mission, remember?? ANYWAY.

we took engagement pictures for michael and my sis jess about a month ago. and when i say "we" i mean my mother hit mosquitos off of my arms and fixed jess' hair while i took pictures of them.

my mother and i were sort of the artistic directors of the shoot, and well, as a result, a significant amount of what she's wearing is mine. haha! black and white dress, flower in hair, white shirt, earrings, lipstick.

michael's clothes are all his though.

yay! come sep 4 we'll have ourselves a partaaay! woooh!

for more info go here! to their wedding site.
