The whole wide world feels like a shrine built to the worker bees...

Things of note, occurring since Friday evening:

I graduated with a degree in English and a minor in Women's Studies. Lance and O'Brian and Jeff came to my graduation, as did my parents, Meagan, Graham, and Moonie. Afterward we stopped by the Florence Poetry Slam and then headed to Park Blvd. for pizza and cokes and some surprise champagne. We stood around the fire under the full moon and Graham shot some bottle rockets and Jonathan stopped by for a bit. I got to sleep between Lance and Jeff, and it was so nice and cozy and safe and warm.

Saturday morning Lance and Jeff and I had breakfast before Lance and I headed to my parents' to get some of my laundry and then to meet Lindsey and Alex in Birmingham. From there we drove up to WInchester, Virginia, where we got a hotel, got some sleep, and enjoyed a really nice simple breakfast. We drove to New Jersey, which, as far as states go, ranks fairly low (based on our short time there). We ate dinner with a family friend of Alex's family, who then took us to the train station.

We took the train into New York City and met Josh!!!

So far, I have been pushed out of the way of a garbage truck who was not paying attention by a construction worker with a very exciting accent, I have bought fruit and bread at the Union Square market, I have watched a video at the Church of Scientology, I have skated at Central Park, I have played in the snow, I have eaten some delicious hot dogs, I have had coffee at various digs, I have ridding the subway a lot, I have been happy.

I wish you were here. :)
