COFFEE
Things have felt busy in a better way lately. I feel like I should post something that does service to the good things in my life, since they have been ignored on here for a little too long.
Today when I was walking, some sorta cute boy came up to me and asked for directions, and I pointed and told him the way to walk there, and he looks at me and says [with an excellent straight face, no less] "Well, I fly, so..." And I started cracking up so hard because what a terrific thing to say to someone. Then I gave him new directions for people who fly, which weren't altogether too different from the walking ones.
I might have found the extra grandparent that I've been craving, but I don't want to say too much about it because I'm terrified I'll jinx it. I will say, though, that it made my entire weekend A+ and thinking about having such a great, new friend makes me smile every time I think about it. More on that later.
I have an art history midterm tomorrow that I have A LOT of reading to do for. I like the reading, so I am not bummed about it at all. I do, however, need to get better at time management. I am learning interesting things and reading nice things in my classes, which I will tell everyone more about soon.
I love my job. I do. I have the funniest, craziest boss. And the funniest, craziest lady working next door. Fancy Schmancy is the best. If you do not believe me, you should go to www.fancyjewels.com and www.schmancytoys.com. Life is awesome.
This weekend, I'm heading up to Vancouver to see Magnolia Electric Co. play on my birthday. How lucky am I? LUCKY!!! Last weekend [as in yesterday and the days before], I saw a lot of people that I love. And last week, I saw Masha, Mike and Michael Cain. We also bumped into the lovely Lindsey Kirschenbaum [too brief, but I'll take it!]. All of those people are WONDERFUL. It had to be written. Weekends are the nicest idea. I am in love with them.
I got to see one of my favorite authors speak. I bumped into Ian at the reading [another fantastic thing!], and we were goofy and happy, and it was a great day. He [the author] made some interesting points about writing, and it made me over the top, out of my mind excited about writing. It was nice to have a refresher. Also, I finished his new book, which is by no means as great as the last one, but nice all the same. There are great quotes in it, which I will also post later because ideas are always better/more effective broken up. People pay better attention when it's not a bunch of text, hm?
I want to learn the favorite book of every person I know or even just meet. I think it would be interesting. There are so many people and so many books. Obvious, I know, but hey. What is your favorite book? ANSWER ME THAT!
Jamie and I get coffee quickly on tuesdays and thursdays now, and it always makes my day. ALWAYS. Jamie is another great thing, and I love that he has caught the love bug. He and his girlfriend are Cute [please note the use of capitalization].
I am going to have dinner with Hana and Paul on Thursday hopefully!! This would make me VERY happy.
Ross Kirshenbaum is the sweetest guy I know!!
There is a lot more to say, but I need to read!!!
I HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A NICE LIFE!!!
talk to you soon! ok! goodbye!
