happy thanksgiving

thanksgiving sandwiches are my favorite - really, one of my favorite "foods"
I am full
Diet starts asap
my day is full of civ pro and food and family time
I need out soon

Maybe John Tifmdkak was right... maybe I shouldn't have come to Civ Pro today...

instead we're sitting in the back of the class, not paying attention

I need thanksgiving and home NOW.

when there's no love, I wanna try to love again

I'll say your prayers
I'll take your side
I'll find us a way to make light
I'll dig your grave
we'll dance and sing
what's saved could be one last lifetime

also I thought you might be exctied to know that I turned in my legal writing memo last night, and I am now done with legal writing for the quarter...
(today was killer, I was so tired and drained and I couldn't sleep last night)

1 down, 5 to go

sigh.

But on the bright side I get to head back to White Salmon for Thanksgiving break the day after tomorrow. I cannot wait.

Now I am headed to work. As much as I LOVE LOVE the Koory's and I love my job, I really wish I didn't have to go to work today :( it's stress/crunch time.

c'mon try a little
nothing is forever
there's got to be something better than in the middle

lazy day

1. I don't like that it is almost completely dark at 4:30pm
2. I have had the most unproductive of days thanks to the fact that
3.I had a wonderful night last night: sushi and drinks at wasabi bistro with Cameron, then off to the Frontier room for dancing and more drinks with Cameron and Erica :) yay birthdays!
4. Dane is playing a show in Seattle tonight that Katie and Suzie and I are going to, stoked to see some WS loves
5. Short week this week thanks to THANKSGIVING! I am thankful for no school.
6. spinach smoothie (spinach, blueberries banana, ginger, OJ = yum)
7. enjoy (I love/want to send this to someone):

spam

this morning my e-mail got hacked/spammed and sent some bullshit e-mail to everyone in my address book
cool
it was not only unprofessional looking but also insulting in the fact that I KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH! I would never say: I wish you like it. ugh.

doing laundry in the laundry room now. super fun.

but I am going to dinner and out tonight. hooray.

also I got a late bday card in the mail from Brian today, which made me smile.

okayyyyyyy sorry if you got my spam e-mail, that wasn't actually from me (obviously).

belltown happy hour

today I went to "list" in belltown with Katie for happy hour
best. happy. hour. ever.
all of the food on their menu was 1/2 off, which was pretty sweet
cheap wine, bottles were only $14
I had a "grilled" Caesar salad - it was a whole chunk of lettuce grilled, and one of the best salads I have ever experienced
we both got the gnocchi with black truffles - best gnocchi EVER (Katie totally agreed, we were in love) it was soft and delicious
and we shared some focaccia with some yummy toppings - goat cheese and cranberries and other things
plus a glass of wine
andddd the bartender was super cute, always a plus when you get to look at someone cute while you're eating ;) haha

it was the perfect distraction for an hour tonight

I want to go to Belltown more often.

yum!

"he once had an awkward moment just to see how it feels.." - most interesting man in the world commercial

play scrabble with me
and drink red wine with me :)

chinatown

omg
I love LOVE living near the international district in Seattle
I just got delicious Chinese food delivered to my apt
chicken chow mein, prawns in lobster sauce and eggflour soup.
Numm.
come over and let's have wine now
<3

eek!

only two, count that one, TWO property classes left!
thank you Thanksgiving! and thank the Lord the semester is close to being over!

beyonce and lady gaga (jack's?)

Beyoncé - New Music - More Music Videos

and the search continues

Dear God,

Please bring Jessie and I boys (scratch that, insert: men) who love us, and who will be good providers and husbands and daddys (eventually; very very eventually for me and kind of eventually for her). It would be ideal if you could give them to us immediately. Thank you, we love you, AMEN!

our generation's male midlife crisis

The old cliché was that a man would wake up one morning and realize that he wanted his youth back. The new version is that he never reached adulthood in the first place.

In their most conscious moments, these new midlifers realize their partners are witty and smart and want to make life easy and fun for them. But at some base level, they're turned off by the sweaty maneuvering of the type A girl, she knows what she wants and goes after it without apology.

and so this sums up most of my last relationship. click here to read it all.

when something's gone, I wanna fight to get it back again.

rememories

Where Will I Re-Discover You?

Where will I rediscover you
and will I?
The question sits on all the lips of those
who lie in bed alone. You is/are the name
each of us give to what we love the most
or what we have not, will not know.

And it is almost always that One, absent,
Gone, through circumstance
or happenstance.
Where did I lose you and when? Did it
Happen even as we knew we were
discovering each other that first time.
Was loss a piece of swelling
big as the enlarging heart?

Sweet basil growing greener reaches up
and through the grass like weeds.
Mallards form a rope across the sky
coming from the south in secret.
Cinnamon Teal bring up the rear.



An early thaw has made all canyons
into rivulets.
The daisies saying love me now
or love me not.
If I have thought about you more than
now it must have been some other me
living in a different heartbreak house
surrounded by some other hedge of memory.

I have been to town and back, to Greece
in dreams and in reality. To far shore,
near field, streets between and always I
have sought you out; on yellow days in
yellowed pages, through rages of the mind
and heart. I do not start out on a trip to
corner or beyond without you for you
have never left my head or would be heart.

Where will I come upon you, if I do?
Perhaps in death or life again. When?
Perhaps not ever, what then? I'll give
It another day, a week. Another month.
A lifetime more or less, then I'll give up.

weekend in seattle

friday night Leslie and Jon came to my apartment to prefunk the SU law section C kegger. we then took a cab to Freemont and joined our section.
After that, Me, Erin and Leslie went to the Red Door to meet our friend Kirsten and meet up with Leslie's manfriend :) haha.
We had a good time, eventually all got separated, other law kids showed up...
I ended up in a cab with like 6 other ppl at around 3am.
The cab driver dropped them all off together (apparently they all live on the same block) and then he yelled at me because I didn't know my address. Ha. OOPS.

Saturday I went to lunch with Katie, her Mom and her Niece at Ivars on the Alaskan Way Pier. It was really nice. After that I went to Target and got a new lamp and then had a really low key evening.

Today: homework all day and maybe the EMP with Katie.

I have an "urge" (my friend Erica LOVES that word... ;) haha) to go to a movie at the movie theater near my apartment, and to Nordstrom's on 5th (which is luckily only about 4 or 5 blocks from me). Maybe I'll do that this afternoon after intense homework/outlining time.

P.S. Heather is such a good friend. Other people are not and they can go to...

law school

my friend John was just trying to convince me to go drink with him

it is a thursday night and I am too tired

fail.

I told him that I haven't done my contracts homework yet. I can't drink before homework.

he told me that he could tell me about our contracts homework at the bar

I laughed out loud

bromance

I loveeee Heather, Jonathan and Joel.
Fantastic day filled with hangover, tamales, beer (for them), hot tubbing and truth or dare.

I wish I didn't live 4 hours away from them.
