Happy Birthday, Blog!

One year ago today I started this blog on J's advice, who said something like, "You should start a blog. That would be right up your alley." And so I did. In that year, I've: -re-learned how to knit -had my car broken into -moved -gotten engaged -retained a paying job -suffered one bout of food poisoning -enjoyed numerous nights out with friends -turned 27 -and claimed on many occasions that I'd really like to learn how to play my banjo

But I still haven't learned. Of course if everything worked out the way we planned there would be less funny stories, so here's to another year.

Negatives, positives

Things I don't care for much right now: * When I am shrugging off some ridiculous wedding expense or idea and I say, "Well, you only get married once," and inevitably, someone says, "Yeah, hopefully," and laughs. Shut up, asshole.

* The caterpillars that live in our house.

* The fact that I'm reading Harry Potter at such an alarming rate that I'll soon be finished and have only normally interesting books to read, and not wonderful books written for children that are so intriguing I forget to do the dishes.

* All the dirty dishes.

Things that are good:

* Mina panting after going on adventures in the backyard.

* Beers, outside.

* Harry Potter.

* Thursdays.
