Fancy That

We've been terribly busy these days... when we wake up in the morning we realize how little time we actually are able to focus on each other even though we are physically together every day. Things should settle down by February. I think to myself quite often, "I miss Aaron," and sometimes that is simultaneous with me looking at him. 

Well, in the midst of the weekend's crazy schedule, of which we were happy to depart (and I mean, actually happy to start the work week so things would settle down), I went to Paolo Soleri's house to have a sketch done. I'm very happy I did it. At some point towards the end he said to me, "Do you know what I would do if you weren't engaged?", and I said, "I don't exactly know..." and then he concluded with a subdued exclamation, "I would kiss your boobs!" "Oh!," was all I could muster. Anyway, it was harmless and a good story to have in the repetoir. Perhaps slightly uncomfortable for some to hear though... sorry:) 

Crapizoids! I've Been Tagged and Must Write 6 Random Things About Myself...

1. Nearly every person who has walked into our apartment has said 1. "I love it! It's so warm and weird," and a few minutes later 2. "You know, it has a grandma'ish vibe." I do love things that remind me of my grandma.

2. I love to cook but have not done much of it in the past year because of the verge-of-extreme-minimalism square footage of our studio... I don't have room to cut anything, or mix, or lay out sheets and bowls, and utensils, etc. We're shooting for a 1 bdrm with a larger kitchen in Chicago!

3. I don't like answering my phone during the weekday. Aaron gives me a hard time, and rightfully so, for this.

4. I love to run around and jump and dance... wherever I may be... including our teeny tiny studio. Especially when Ilo and Aaorn join in too. I like Stereolab, weird transient tunes, and booty music best for this.

5. I LOVE ACCESSORIES AND SHOES AND CLOTHES. It's true and everyone knows it. I like cheap stuff and expensive stuff and normal priced stuff. All of it. I look for texture and funky patterns and interesting juxtapositions of color and lines.

6. I like succulents and anything that looks and feels like it's been covered in epoxy or enamel. These things are all fun to touch and I can't help but imagine myself sticking them between my molars and chewing into them as if they were gummy fish.

They Didn't Take Our Sunshine Away

Thank you God!

We can now attest to our freedom, our rights for all, our equality, and our hope, and press forward in making healthy relations within our world rather than fearful ones that have lead to recession (not just financially, but mentally and spiritually, as a nation).

I only wish that Arizonans were not so fearful of allowing all persons to vow their love for one another. Prop 102 posters should have been honest in saying "Vote Yes for Hate". Ha! I'll keep vying for anyone who wishes to love, be it me and my fiance Aaron, or our friends in same sex relationships. At least God has blessed all of them with wonderful spirits, strong relationships, the realization to acquire their dreams, and health and prosperity. What man unrightfully takes away from another man here on earth, I pray him to find in some other form within himself or the galaxies.

Yay for Obama!!!!!
