HIGHLIGHTS, Part II!
Should've gone backwards, since the best part's at the end! Oh well.
5. I love Will Smith
While visiting Courtney I read a couple of issues of Men's Health, including an interview with Tyrese Gibson about turning his life around how much he loves Will Smith.
Will Smith to Tavis Smiley: "I will not be outworked. Period. You might have more talent than me, be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things--you got it on me in nine categories--but if we get on a treadmill together, there's two things. You're getting off first, or I'm gonna die. It's really that simple."
Me to Courtney: "Oh man! Listen to what Will Smith says: 'You're getting of first, or I'm gonna die.'"
Courtney: ???
Clearly I need an icon of this.
6. Fran Health Update
My brother's been through his first 2 chemos and seems to be doing pretty well. He shaved off his Big Stupid DudeHair and now looks like this:
Pretty sweet, right?? (Also note the COLLINS TSHIRT. :D )
7. Home again, home again (jiggety jig)
So anyway, I came home from Ann Arbor and Teacher Camp and visiting the fam, only to find that... THERE IS A GIANT SPREADING STINKY STAIN IN MY BEDROOM, OMGWTF. So I got to spend all day yesterday NOT updating my livejournal in order to move everything I own out of my bedroom into the living room. Which now looks like
And I built a tiny computer hole in what was left of the apartment...
...while maintenance dudes came and ripped up my carpet. And THEN, using SCIENCE, they... put some giant fans under the carpet to "dry it out"?
I will admit to being super dubious about this in terms of "fixing the leak and mildew problems," although it does smell noticeably better in there now. (Also it looks hilarious! Carpet, billowing in the wind!)
8. HARRY POTTER
I dressed up like Snape (sort of) for the midnight showing in Bloomington with MBL, Natalie, Cameron, Ian, Marie, and Some Dude Marie Works With. It was AWESOME. There were lots of other dressed-up people (I think... also there were nerds, and sometimes it is hard to tell the difference...?). Then, after sleeping badly for not-long on couches, having delicious pho, and heading home, I decided to have a nap at Cameron's because of the TERRIBLE SMELL at my apartment. When I woke up, I was ambushed! With:
9. JEWELRY ...woodelry?
Cameron asking me to marry him! While I was napping, he'd lit some candles and put on some jazz and made a picnic (wine, chocolate-covered strawberries, fancy cheese & crackers, pesto) and also MADE ME AN ENGAGEMENT RING. As he'll do.
These pictures don't totally do it justice; it's made of bloodwood (!!!) so it changes in the light, and it's sooooo pretty, you guys, srsly.
Also my fingers look kind of creepy this close up. o_O
10. No Previous Engagements
Matthew: I put forth the possibility that his most marry-able quality is his potential for rocking sideburns. Agree or disagree?
me: hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
tough call
they're SUCH good sideburns
Matthew: I know!
me: but he has other good qualities too
Matthew: Court was listing his good qualities.
"e.g., he's supportive and warm and funny and laid back and respectful"
And I said, "WHAT ABOUT SIDEBURNS? HMMMM?"
me: ahahahahahahahhahaha
thx for having my back
Matthew: Yeah, I am all over that.
I am really sad that I don't have a moving .gif of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (of the U.S.S. ENT.ER.PRISE) saying "ENGAGE!" to add to this entry. Other than that, though? Life is pretty awesome. :)
