it's SUMMER!
my feelings on this subject are best represented by the following photograph :
the nothingness of my life has become so delightful. i go to work. where i sit around and wait for the phone to ring. i file stuff. i eat salad from paradise. i count the hours. i apply for scholarships (seriously mom. i did). then i go home to an apartment where i am welcome. mack and i, the happy couple, have the apartment all to ourselves until ashley moves in next week. we share groceries, we put our dishes in the dishwasher, we eat garden salsa sunchips, we hang beatles posters on the wall, and we play our alienating music real loud.
i may or may not watch more tv. but i also read. nevermind that this reading includes books like harry potter or stargirl...not exactly stretching myself but...i read for FUN.
and a landmark in my life, for the first time ever i have reached the dating-for-four-months mark. congratulations to weston for breaking the threemonth curse. he is a lovely boy who buys me flowers, takes balderdash&scattegories seriously, makes dad jokes, plays pretty music, and is generally the nicest human being i am aware of. i'm quite a fan. we have fun. and abuse mack's new macbook photobooth feature. where i take a lot of pictures of myself smiling creepily. see above, right. and below, center.
we don't have teeth.

i want to write more but the lack of content in this post just further illustrates the nothingness in my life and how lovely it is. don't worry mom i'll read challenging books and a adopt a grandparent and apply for 1432423 scholarships.
(but i will also sleep in. and lie on my couch staring at the ceiling listening to poetry podcasts)

Everyone that reads this post will think your mother is incredibly annoying and way too involved in your life. So?
I love weston for breaking the threemonth curse. I love that you are having a perfectly non stressful summer. I love the post you wrote just below this one. And most of all, I love paradise bakery. Can we go? Please?
ok, so your blog is making me spend way too much money on itunes. this time, I'm going to see if i can just borrow it - do you own andrew bird? and if so, can I borrow it?
Al, I love to read your stuff...and I can't wait to meet this mystery Weston. So you have to date him for at least another month.
