Friends

[matchgirl]

I know I very rarely post on livejournal anymore. Usually, I read my friends list every couple of days, but I lost touch with it over the Christmas break when I was home for a couple weeks. I came to livejournal today to begin catching up. Now, I don't really care about friending and de-friending on livejournal and myspace the way some people do

terrible friend.

[rebelprince26]

i'm the worst friend ever. so, i got your "i'm engaged!" text, and i knew it warranted much more than a congratulations back. so instead of doing that, i planned on calling you the next day (when i was sober). well, the next day turned into the next week, and then it seemed like i'd let too much time pass.

in a word - CONGRATULATIONS! i'm so excited for you. we need to catch up. i'm working for MTV now, which is awesome and terrible at the same time. i was cleaning out my apartment this past weekend and i came upon two valentine's days cards. one from you and one from ron. i loved those cards, and it reminded me of when we were all friends. i miss having artistic friends.

i need to see a picture of you and this chris kid. would i approve? i'm sure i would.

so leonard is gone? i loved him. how is the office? what is your role there now?

CONGRATS!!!! that is totally exciting news! also, i go to the Orbit Room sometimes! it's in my BF's hood, and it's way less annoying than Kuma's Corner. i also love Small Bar and Hungry Brain. let's hang it soon!!

[matchgirl]

Thanks!!! You have a BF now?? I guess he might not be new, but he's new to me. I want to hear all about it! Is he a funny guy, like you? :)

Yes, I love Kuma's Corner's burgers and they have a good beer selection, but that place is too damn popular and way too small. We totally need to go to Orbit Room together soon! Or you can take me to one of those other places. I still have your # if you haven't changed it. Yay!

[k_rocked07]

haha, he's about a year old.... plus 25 or so years before me, but THOSE DON'T COUNT. :-) yes, he's funny and dorky and i lurve him. :-)

yeah, and i didn't know you were hanging w/ a boy that you are now gonna marry!!! that's BIG!

ok, so this is definitely gonna be a date... let's get it together after Feb. 16!

i actually LOST my phone a week ago, and thus lost all of my numbers. :-/ shoot me a txt so i can reprogram ya. yay fun!!

Wow, that's very exciting news!! Congratulations!! & I love the fact that you scheduled it around your favorite holiday! I imagine it'll be the best rehearsal dinner ever. (I'd love it if you LJed about your plans!)

I would never de-friend you. :)

I have a new girlfriend now! Her name is Stacey and she's wonderful. Maybe someday I'll write a LJ post, too.

Yay! Thanks! I wanted to schedule the wedding in October, because of Halloween and just cause it's a beautiful month. I had the 18th picked out and it was available at first, but then I had to convince my mom about the place and by the time I did that it was taken. :( But November 1 is just as good and will be easy to remember. I'm just hoping it won't be too cold. But come on, it's Tennessee, right? It's barely ever cold there. And I will try to post more about my plans. The theme for the wedding is faux bois, so I'm all excited about that.

Thanks about not de-friending me too. You're definitely one of those people that I have lj history with! You and Jenny and Ben convinced me to get an account!

And wow, a new girlfriend! That is great! Where did you meet her? I'd like to hear all about it.

Do you still have the same address? You should make sure I have your current one so I can add you to my card and pen pal list. And it will be good to have for the wedding too!

[peachcrush]

I have no idea what faux bois is! Fill me in!

I looked at myspace profiles for ages and she was the only person I felt compelled to contact. So we met on myspace but had our first date shortly after. :) She currently is working with her dad as a carpenter. You could check her out on my myspace, if you're curious.

What does Craig do? How did you two meet?

My address is:
120 Jenkins St
Providence, RI 02906 :)

[matchgirl]

I thought you might know, cause you're trendy, you know. :) But faux bois is french for "fake wood." So I'm doing this whole woodgrain/ wood-look theme. It's awesome and I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Aw, I love the story of how you met! A carpenter! That is so neat. She can make a whole apartment of furniture for you. How crafty. I will definitely look her up on myspace.

Craig and I met on Craigslist...I think I posted about that, maybe? He was definitely the front-runner of all the guys that responded. He is a physicist, getting his PhD. He's really easy going and we compliment each other very well. It is a little scary to be getting married, even though I'm ecstatic about it, but I know he's the right one.

Thanks for your address! Hopefully I'll mail something off to you soon (but you know I'm slow, so be patient).

Where in Franklin are you getting married??

[matchgirl]

At the Carnton Plantation. I can't believe I forgot to mention the actual place. I am SO excited about it!

Save some extra seats for the ghosts.
