Love Sweet Love

I really like Valentines Day-- mainly because there's so many people I love in this world, and it's always nice to get to tell them so. A few things that I'm especially loving today:

This book is amazing. Olivia gave me a copy a few years back, and I treasure it. Make sure to read this story by Mark Twain. The line " Wheresoever she was, THERE was Eden" gets me every time.

My heart BEETS only for you. You know who you are.
Also, I find safety gear and technology incredibly sexy. Don't you?
Happy Valentine's Day. I love you all

Good Old Fashion Friendraising

Lane gave me the idea of having a friend-raiser after the move to Seattle. Valentine's making turned out to be the perfect occasion. We made pretty things and ate pretty things. But only if they were red, white, or pink.

"you're 16, and you're no e.e.cummings"

I can't remember who exactly said this-- maybe Chi? When we were in high school in response to some pretentious attempt by someone (not me) at poetry writing. It's always stuck with me. As has my love for e.e. cummings. I grew up with my dad reading me "in just" every spring. I love, LOVE, this poem Angela posted. And hey, it's valentine's.

sappy february

Love this video (it's an ad, but still.) and especially the song by Soko. Actually, it's a pretty anti-sappy song. But still sweet.
