| oh hey. there you are.
yeah, your hair looks good too. did you color it?
mmhmm. my family is doing pretty okay. not bad at all.
oh actually I graduated recently.
no no. college. weird, right?
what am I doing now? well, that's about right. what indeed. I'm taking suggestions.
how have you been?
let's go get sno cones sometime and catch up.
i'm getting my new usual: trashy-in-a-good-way pink champagne and mojito.
what flavor will you have?

| So today I realized (well, let's say accepted. realization occured gradually and some time ago.) that the only person on my entire subscription list who really actually updates consistently is Miss Christa Spangler. Congratulations. Huzzah to you. Carry on.
All that to say that I think I need to reevaluate my audience. I'm not saying that only those who write, read. But I think that can't be too far from the truth. Who are you, dear readers? Let me know your secrets. Or don't. Too much pressure. Too soon. With time we shall build trust. And understanding. And with any sort of luck, some sort of almost close to a real live, in-person relationship, without an obligation to shower before we converse.
I'm typing from the computar of my mother.
Today Mom told me that I'm awkward. And she's glad that I'm okay with it. But she's not sure how to handle herself around me sometimes. With the awakwardness. When it comes on strongly and unexpextedly. Which is really the main times awkwardness is unleashed. Suddenly. Unexpectedly.
But I like to keep people on their toes.
That's why I buy my friends heels.
(Don't worry, yours are in the mail.)
As if I could afford the postage.
There may be a mouse slash rat situation to my left. And by left I mean the side yard. Which is really just a 3' x 20' slab of cement. "Mouse slash rat situation" sounds scarier than just "mouse situation" but less scary than "rat slash wildebeest situation." I'm thankful for a lack of the latter.
My cousin get's married a week from Thursday, and I'm definitely too pale for the yellow bridesmaid dress I get to wear. At least that's what they're telling me.
That's the "choose your own reference" section of the post.
And if you can figure that one out, you're a better woman than I. Yeah, you heard me.
Who uses the one-hole punch?
I would like to know.
I just located such a device on this very desk, but I haven't seen it in action for years.
Good.
Better.
Best.
And that's the way the world goes round.

| Today I made a mental list of things to do.
Then I quickly accomplished the tasks.
There's not much to not doing much.
edit to follow. hopefully.

| I accompanied Emily to a wedding in Wichita Falls this weekend.
I took some notes. (Emily's contributions will be in this font.)
Saturday May 27, 2006
Melissa & Brady
Wedding Observations:
#1 When seating is tight, reserve a larger room or kick people out/ hire a bouncer/ enforce a dress code/ spike some of the drinks with laxatives/ weed out the weak with American Gladiator- like challenges (sorry Grandma, Ice got the best of you this time)/ anyone with genetic defect is not welcome (incomplete penetrance of polydactyly (having 6 fingers and toes) included)/ all children under the age of 8 and their parents/ pets welcome (flasks also)
* i would like to assure readers that the last
comment reflects the sentiments of Emily only and does not necessarily
include Erin's view
#2 Good frosting makes the event. (And hopefully not the other way around).
#3 Glancing is good.
Staring is bad.
Make sure the first isn't mistaken for the second.
#4 Claim your spoon immediately. It will undoubtedly come in handy.
#5 Standing in slow-dance position is not slow-dancing.
#6 Dance with Mom. You never know when it will be the last time (in a non-creepy way).
#7 Do not make eye contact with
the man with the camcorder and microphone. Especially if
you don't know the bride or the groom. Or really anyone else in
the room.
#8 Never underestimate a man with two hands, a bow tie, and a Kawai electronic pianco. No. Really.
oh and Stephen add this to your collection
During our stay, Emily's father received a farewell note from a Floella Grizzle. Real name.
Alright, now I'm going to figure out my life and look up GRE test dates.

| It's time to write again. But I'm promising you nothing. Or
rather, very little. Words on the screen at the very least.
Rightful writing rings worthwhile but a dubious dealing indeed.
It's finals time, and stress levels are high. But aren't they always?
In a years time, if all goes according to plan, I will graduate from
this fine institution I arrived at three academic years ago. A
lot of people can say that though. The differnce is, I realize
there is no difference. I'm beginning to sense my sameness.
I am innatley redundant. I am Erin. Hear me say the same
thing as everyone else.
A lot has changed, but not for me.
I feel in control of very little. And maybe that's a good thing.
All I know is I've got this lighter and I'm most definitely not going to burn this mother down.
But perhaps I should.
Make like a Phoenix.
I'm ready for an adventure.
the plan is
there is no plan. to plan for the worst. plan for the best.
know your strengths. accept your weaknesses. hide the money
under the counter. cut and run, cuddy. watch the
moon. catch the stars. keep your eye on the ball.
watch the time slip away. warp speed ahead. slow it
down. a change of plans. a plan to change. wait for a
plan. all is plan.
