ooooooooooooye (turns out that's bad for you)
So! i've decided to live my life like a high-powered business women, with the probably misguided thought that if i make myself busy first, the important work will follow. Since any attempt at logical sentences on the recent past will once again quickly dissolve into random parentheses-within-parentheses (a specialty of myne (that is awesome)), let this conveniently dated list stand in for the lapsed time:
10/8--10/11: Ratty/Jason wedding! fire, beer, dresses, hot-glue, sewing, boy scouts, more boy scouts, Bria/Max/Alexis taking pictures, bad hair/great hair, great food, cabins, more beer, opps then some wine (that Bryan spilled), music, crazydancing, random phone calls, bloodbath, poetry, safety pins, vows, mother unnecessarily joking with college friends, reenactment costumes, decorations, sparkles, important things, forgetting to toast my best friend ever (i am LAME), sister & co serving food, grilled cheese sandwiches, drives into town, common anniversaries... oh dear lord, and so on. In any case it was great. aaaaaaaand i kinda want to give Ratty & Jason presents all the time just to see them open them.
10/11--10/19: Hegira with Bryan! Niagara Falls, beautiful day, beautiful Jewish couple, bad souvenirs, lost at night, tacky Canadian bar, Toronto, Asian ladies, skateboarders, museums, 401, Bryan's evil Canadian twin Mike, Nova Scotia girl, paintings, traffic jam, Ottawa, same biome & geology as WI/but with bilingual signs, Sierra!, SIERRA'S QUEBEC ACCENT, hiking, clean geologists, walking, vocab, driftwood, fights over the radio, best fake honeymoon ever, worst border crossing ever, possum-not-possum, BECCERS! AND RED!
10/20--10/23: Madison! irish food, margaritas ("just let me say, before i tell you any of the things that have happened since our last meeting, that i lead a super classy life"), stellerators and formation diagrams, intrigues of the hardward store, insane recognition, coffee coffee coffee, german bar, actually having fun? (what?!)
10/23--present: Random Eau Claire Things! ikea, cleaning, other house cleaning, knitting, too much 30 Rock, back to Madison again--way too briefly to count, library, House of Rock, zombie movie, new furniture, visiting baby sister with full-grown sister, 86 & 99 (shoephone and all!!), tequila (good job Lawton), an air of mystery (better job Lawton), Johnnie A back in town!, Aggie giving birth (!!! baby=Ophelia), apparently a LOT of amusing squealing?, general Halloween party-ness...
Which brings us to today, which was great--after the collective hangover fix-ups that is. Lunch with Ratty, Kirk GOT HIRED AT A GREAT JOB OMG OMG OMG!, AND FINALLY ACTUALLY STUDIED FOR THE GRE. SO SO SO EXCITED. It's almost refreshing to know my actual level of unpreparedness rather than just generally being afraid of polynomials and unit circles and all that other great math stuff i quite purposefully haven't touched since high school... and while i have quickly found that just 'cause i did indeed once pass calc 2 does not mean i remember how to, uh, correctly add exponents or whatever, but it's great to review and feel like a test is handleable again... after not being 'tested,' per se, in years. (i have done so little writing since college that my handwriting looks different and i am not a fan.) Johnnie A. is back in town, and studying also, and we have plans to cram this coming weekend, and i'm scheduled take the test next Thursday. The other things on the near future list: roadtrip with mom (sick relatives (no idea how actually bad this is, which probably explains the current ulcer-feeling)), appointments in EC, computer fixings, OK GO CONCERT WITH RATTY!!! and Jason and Kirk (but whatevs, Ratty is the most exciting!), Kalahari group retreat?!, and i'm sure a dozen other things that will, somehow, make this post look cohesive. Because... OMG, just because.
Note to self: write in my blog BEFORE reading RGE's blog next time.
Rock.
[opps, upon furthar examination, RGE's grammar has lately been more coherent then myne. Hopefully there's not a finite amount of cogentness we two can possess, and hopefully i'm not on the downward side of the slope? ARG.]
Me: In the gruesome event/that i ever get married, not only will it be Roman AND steampunk, it just may be on MANY BOATS. LEARN TO WATER SKI, LITTLE SISTER, IF YOU'RE GONNA BE MY MAID OF HONOUR, AND LEARN IT NOW.
RGE: Mmmmmmmmmmm... not gonna! ¶ 00:20
