The biggest honor in life...

Is to be mimicked by someone else.

The second is to have a blog dedicated to your work by someone else:

Unfortunately it has temporarily been earmarked as a spam blog, so hopefully it will be up in a few days.

Breakfast Butterflies

I wrote this piece a few weeks ago. Wow. It's about morning. Or maybe it's a list of things it takes to wake up on the right side of the bed. Watch out Winnie the Pooh. I'm looking to take your job. If you need a reference point for this joke please see:

Pooh corner!

But read this instead:

4.24.2008

my breakfast consists of the following:

an alarm clock blaring
classical music

a yawn
a blink
a stretch

a smile
a kiss
a nuzzle

a stumble down
the hallway

a yawn
a blink

a brief look in
the mirror

a smile
a kiss

I was MAY-ed for you

Or, made for you....or a maid for you...you kinky fox!

So much to tell...and I haven't written in a while.

So. The low down about the high ups. Not sneakers friends. But good things and happenings and missed happenings by all of you. That's right....my life, in a nutshell or rather on a computer screen for your enjoyment!

Confused yet? Well catch up!

I graduated...please see my future sister's (in law, but sister is good enough for me) blog for fun pictures of my being a dork: http://sweet-pea-photography.blogspot.com/

Amanda and I are headed soon soon soon to Europe. I'm finishing up odds and ends here, starting to pack and the like. We leave June 3rd. But before that happens we need to have a wedding ceremony on June 2nd. I need to audition on June 1. Put up a sketch show on May 23rd, and Amanda has like 3 bridal showers somewhere in there as well. But that's alright...because in like 4 days I won't have to work anymore....well...until we get back from Europe and are completely and utterly broke. However, we'll be in love. Heavy good love. Like jumping in a kiddy pool that is full of tapioca pudding love. No dirty thoughts people!

A few poems from here and there that have been written, but nothing of note right now. In the next few days I might get around to putting up some stuff. We'll have to see!

Tonight, is a beautiful night

So...its warm once again in Champaign, Illinois.

Central Illinois. Flowers blooming, trees greening.

It's sunny.

I deposited my Master's thesis today. I'm done. I have an M.A. in Theatre from the University of Illinois. YES! Thank goodness.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness month. I'm performing in a show regarding said issues. It's always an emotional rollercoaster that I go on when I perform this show...but I know it is a good thing to be doing for society.

I'm engaged. In love. And getting married, soon. I can't wait!

I'm going to head to a poetry writing workshop on Thursday, which I am also excited about!

Way to just list everything I'm up to.

Here, with you.

4.11.2008 Here, with you.

We spend a lot of time,
preparing.
For things in the future
and living for the days to come

But we need to be here today,
live for today,
experience now,
and love this moment.

I turn to you,
and speak,
I love being here,
with you .

Ring a ding ding

Well,

It's that time of the year again. April fool's day. I really feel like making a prank or something along those lines, but I'm coming up short for good ideas. That's alright though. However, joking aside the following things are true:

I recently went to California.
While there I proposed to Amanda!
We set a date: July 26, 2008.

Friday is my birthday: I'll be a quarter of a century old.
We're going to have a party at my apartment.

I put up my master's thesis play last thursday/friday. It was really well recieved, now all I have to do is actually finish the writing portion of it.

Malignant Humor 2008 just wrapped up, Potted Meat and Spicy Clamato performed. We were a smashing success.

There's about a million things that I could write and express right now.

Europe is still on. Amanda and I are headed to London on June 3rd to July 15th. So that doesn't leave too much time to get everything done for our wedding, which will be 11 days after we return. We're focused, in love, and dedicated to making it all happen.
