Oh yeah...and who can deny this:
And of course:
About me: I try to keep my life simple. I'm graduating in May with a couple of degrees (art crap and english bull). I have a nice little job where I work with all the cool kids. I'm from a small town and the more I think about that the more I sorta like it (though I could never move back).I like donkeys, sloths, cotton candy, palmagranite juice, and ms paint:
And I try to constantly appreciate the little joys of life (my 'casa taco' cactus, watching dad work on a bonzai, $0.88 flea market flipflops, and learning recipes from my mom)
I also love the Kids in the Hall:
A whole year without you. It still doesn't seem real. We all miss you so much. The world was touched by your brilliant spirit, heart and mind. Thank you for being my friend and being such a magnificent person.
I miss you terribly. Think about you all the time. Wish we were having a beer and trashing this commercial society that has abandoned real artists and substance. I wear your gloves and strangely I develop a larger curiosity for the world around me, I wear your sweater and feel like your tiny frame is next to me, I watch my daughter play dress up in your wigs and I can see that fire growing in her that was so prominent in you. I love you and I remember you everyday kate.
KATIE I MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY. I WAS JUST ENTERTAINING THE IDEA OF GOIN AND SEEING UR MOM SO SHE COULD SAY "KATE, MEL AND GRACIE STOPPED BY!" THIS SEEMS LIKE A NIGHTMARE, ALL I WANT TO DO IS TURN THE T.V. OFF AND SEE UR SMILING FACE. I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THE MEMORIES WE HAVE FROM SCHOOL AND THE OLD SKOOL SOCCER DAYS LOL.EVEN THE DAYS IN MS. WILLS CLASS WHEN I WOULD COME IN GRIPING EVERYDAY ABT SOMETHING NEW AND U WOULD SAY "WHATS WRONG NOW?!" LOL..THOSE R THE GOOD OLE DAYS AND I I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!
Thanks Potaters, I'll keep it up for a while but I don't know how long. That may be too intense for me to handle.
I think I might be shopping. Otherwise I may just stop by on Saturday. I'm hammering out my schedule tonite and tomorrow. I'll definitely let you know.
