I'm not usually very sappy.

But these are Brilliant:


I Am Marrying You Because
Wedding Vows
(Literally)


Dan Waber and Jennifer Hill were married on Saturday, November 29th, 2008. This is Dan's introductory note:

The vows were basically an alternating list poem with a repeated phrase (also the title). She read all the odd numbered parts, and I read all the even numbered.



I am marrying you because
You don't just support my writing, you encourage it.

I am marrying you because
I believe that being more like you would make me the better person I want to be.

I am marrying you because
you carry me piggyback.

I am marrying you because
I've been able to make you laugh every single day I've known you. Usually before noon.

You know just how to work me out of a prickly hedgehog mood.

I am marrying you because
I can no longer imagine a life without you in every minute of it.

I am marrying you because
We are two bumbling bumblebees in summer, two white moths aflutter in the garden.

You ice skated like a pro and let me lean on you.

I am marrying you because
You bought ME flowers.

You're optimistic without being unrealistic. I look forward to what you will find in each day to share with me.

I am marrying you because
You are unapologetic about using butter.

I am marrying you because
You still make me feel like we're the man and woman in Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss".

I am marrying you because
When you hold my hand, I float.

I am marrying you because
I learn something new every day from you, about you, and for you.

I am marrying you because
You drove for 12 hours to see me for only 2.

I am marrying you because
You are the total package.

I am marrying you because
You like my meatloaf.

I am marrying you because
I really only have one thing to give —the rest of my life — and I want you to have it.

I am marrying you because
I promise you can have all the rest of my life.

I am marrying you because
I promise you can have the first and last bite of my every dessert.

Red House Painters

I can't let you be, cause your beauty won't allow me
wrapped in white sheets,
like an angel from a bedtime story
and shut out what they say,
cause your friends are fucked up anyway
and when they come around,
somehow they feel up and you feel down.

When we were kids, we hated things our parents did
we listened low to Casey Kasem's radio show
that's when friends were nice,
to think of them just makes you feel nice
the smell of grass in spring
and October leaves cover everything.

Have you forgotten how to love yourself?

I can't believe all the good things that you do for me
sat back in a chair like a princess from a faraway place
nobody's nice, when you're older your heart turns to ice
and shut out what they say;
they're too dumb to mean it anyway

When we were kids, we hated things our sisters did
backyard summer pools and Christmases were beautiful
and the sentiment of coloured mirrored ornaments
and the open drapes
look out on frozen farmhouse landscapes

Have you forgotten how to love yourself?

I LOVE YOU BABYBOO!

Happy Birthday to the bestest BFF I could ever have.

We've been though so much. And came out on top with laughter :D

I love you, now lets Celebrate!!!

Did you feel it?

Things falling apart 3 days in a row, and working my butt off for days, terrible things happening, and keeping myself from falling apart all over again? Can't Help it. It's terrible, and wrong, but I miss you tonight. :/


Why do we have it out, for each other?
When all we have, is each other?
Piece by piece, I try to put you back together.
I'm the one who broke you down. (I broke you down.)

Slow down on me now.
Where do we get off?
(We're all we have, we're all we have.)
What's to come of us,
If all we have is gone?
(We're all we have, we're all be have.)
We'd be lost.
Where did we start to build these walls?
And is there any way, to storm your gates?
Brick by brick, I try to fill the home together,
But I'm the one who burned it down. (I'm the one who burned it down.)

Slow down on me now.
Where do we get off?
(We're all we have, we're all we have.)
What's to come of us,
If all we have is gone?
(We're all we have, we're all we have.)
We'd be lost.

And we keep on growing!

Love you!

I need carrying...

I went down to Houston
And I stopped in San Antone
I passed up the station for the bus
I was trying to find me something
But I wasn't sure just what
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain

Man I ended up with pockets full of cane
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition

May you one day carry me home
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life
Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what

Funny how they say that some things never change
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition

May you one day carry me home
Up here in the city feels like things are closing in
The sunsets just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family

All the sweetest winds they blow across the south
Oh my sweet Carolina
What compels me to go
Oh my sweet disposition
May you one day carry me home

May you one day carry me home

"Lust Only Grows Like Anger&Revenge.

But Love stays until the end.




Love will set your soul on fire <3" In the end, I win :D

Everything is Magic

It's Spring Break!!!
I get tons of hours at work, and get to spend tons of time with friends, I get real sleep. And I've had a fantastic 24 hours.
God. Is. So. Good.

The minute I do what I know I should have done years ago, on two fronts, I feel so much better.
Things are hard. And honestly, I am scared to death that all of my mistakes will keep coming back to bite me.

But, I'M SO EXCITED! So much in life is changing, and I'm so happy.
:D

Its March yay?

I am an unbelievable idiot. Yes, not in the past tense, I am an idiot as I sit here right now. You know that crazy definition where you do the same thing again and again and expect a different result?
That's kinda me, but I don't really expect something new to happen as much as I expect it to not affect me. After 3 days of playing super woman, I just crashed and hid in my room. And Why Oh why do I check her blog. Its probably first in the long line of stupid destructive things I do.

Whatever.

Fell apart, Yesterday. Woke up really late today, got a parking ticket because I forgot it was March and therefore street sweeping day, realized I forgot to mail Ashleys planner, Missed a midterm and the turn in date for a term paper. Spent all day fixing those things and am completely worn out and completely invisible because no one answers a single thing I send to them.

But hey, I have Julia and Finn.
At least someone always needs me :D

This is Julia.

And this is my new main man ;)
Finnegan.

He is seriously, the best baby ever. He makes the best noises.. for instance he growls when he's hungry, and so far the only things he'll fall asleep to are Matt Kearny and The Postal Service (an odd assortment, but who am I to judge?)Like for real dont even try to mix Death Cab in there or he'll wake right up.

And being March, it means more music from Evan that I'm officially allowed to steal and post on my blog. hahaha
Thanks Evan!

Meh

Slip back out of whack at your best.
It's a nightmare,
So I'm joining the army.

Know how folks back out, I still call.
Will you hate for me now?

We got the righteous advice to use it
Got everything but you can just choose it
I won't just be a puppet on a string

Don't go that way.
I'll wait for you.

And I'm tired of all your friends
Listening at your door
And I won't, I better call you.

So long, my friend and adversary.
But I will call you.

Get dressed, jump out of bed and do it best.
Are you OK?
I've been out around this town
And everybody's been singing the same song ten years.

I'll wait for you.
Will you wait for me too?

And they sacrifice their lives
In our land are all closed eyes.
I've been saying we're beaten down, I won't say it again.
So long, my end.
The sorry embrace.

Don't go that way.
I'll wait for you.

I'm tired of all your friends,
Knocking down your door.
Get up in the morning, give it your all.
So long, my friend and adversary.
I'll wait for you.
