My Friends Vol. 2 - Bonni and Kyle

These are my friends Bonni and Kyle. I lived with Bonni for 2 years, one year in NE and one year in St. Paul. Kyle moved in with us in St. Paul and then we were one big happy family.

One of my favorite stories about Bonni is that she had this hermit crab (and I can't remember his name) but I can tell you he was cruel. Hermit crabs are supposed to be very friendly creatures...they can run all over you and they are not supposed to pinch. This one pinched. In fact, he pinched me so hard that I started crying, and even screaming. The "directions" said that if they pinched you should run your hand (and the crab) under cold water. This just made him pinch me harder.

Bonni doesn't pinch, and neither does Kyle - but they do play a mean game of apples to apples.

My friend Benji

This is my friend Benji Meyer. Many of you know Benji. For those that don't...he and Mike lived together for 7+ years...HLM status. He's hilarious. Sometimes he's reclusive, he's always elusive, and he even makes me rhyme. I get the random bump-into him now and then, but I'd really like more of him in my life. Consider this a major shout out.

p.s. I stole this picture of Benji from Benji. I'm guessing he timer-ed it himself? Yes? No? But it's in Japan. He's cool like that.

I need more time...

No really. I do. There is not enough time in each of the upcoming days to go everywhere and see everyone I want/need to see. Fuck.

Tonight...no time. Sushi? Dancing? Drinking?
Tomorrow: If you don't go to EC's show you are a waste of space. Get out.
@ The Christensen Center Art Gallery Augsburg College 720 22nd Ave S Minneapolis 5:30pm-7:30pm / Free
Also tomorrow: Honeymoon Birthday...can I handle two nights of dancing in a row?
Saturday: TML...3 nights in a row? Shit!
Sunday: Recoup.
Monday...it's not over yet...well almost.

I better see all of you...and you know who you are...a lot this weekend. Keepin it real.

sometimes it sneaks up on ya...

I've been thinking a lot lately about my life on a day to day basis. Like the things I do and the people I do them with; and I have been contemplating the fact that it's very different from a year ago. I don't think that things are better today, or that they were necessarily better then. I just realize how different they are.

I'm in a sort of nostalgic mood which may be way too heavy for such an extreme blog...but I just thought I'd air my thoughts to the wide, wonderful land of the internet.

Lots of memories I've thiefed:

I love this life...I hope you all do too. Because it may be the only one we've got...right?

Europe (the swedish rock band) said it best...

It's the final countdown...

7 days and counting!

I heart you.

Can I please, please, please, please have her? I'm not sure who I'm asking...but please say yes.
