I'm Taking the Challenge

I have a deep dark secret.
It's something I felt no need to come out about--for years.
It was between me, Keith and my ideas of what is and is not okay.
I didn't want to like it. I don't want to like it.
My first time was in Texas, in Austin, in a motel room.
I was only 23.
And i liked it--I have to admit.
Keith and I were in one bed, Jamie from the Real World in the other...

It's been 7 years since then--can this really have been going on for so long?

But two days ago, a certain someone accused me of being too pretentious to post a certain video clip on this here highbrow blog.
It's not so much that I'm too pretentious...
It's that I just didn't feel it had to be common knowledge.
Maybe there are some who will be shocked...

Case in point, a few weeks ago I commented to my boss that during Typography class I feel like I’m on American Idol. “Oh Jenn,” my boss laughed, “you watching American Idol would be funny,” she said—or something like that….

But I have to admit it. It’s the truth.
I get Keith to do the downloading for me,
and then…I watch.
And I don’t even feel guilty while I do it.

not a joke!

Oh Boulder

Jenn Keith and Seth circa 1997!!!

Oh Boulder how I miss you. Mountains covered in wildflowers or snow. Green paths and creeks. Clean clean-ness. And the bookstore! And delicious healthy food everywhere. Riding my bike to the Co-op on Pearl for tofu with sweet miso beet sauce and greens...Which brings me to the Ruscombe Mansion--another place I forgot to add on my Best of Baltimore list. It is the one place I know in this city for consistently delicious helathy meals. Open Tuesdays and Thursdays for lunch. You have to eat their delicious food--whoever you are--before leaving this city...

Today

A run. A clean house. Good news. Camping ideas. Chai. Off and on sun. A saw in the street.

Just Me and the Meece

in the 3 hrs and 2 minutes since you've been gone i've felt a bit empty. i've ordered some travel clothes. i've gone through the stack of magazines on the topmost bathroom shelf (it's gotten gray now that you're gone. and i think i hear thunder--but maybe it's a plane). i've made a list of music to check out on myspace from the magazines in my bottom drawer, switched the laundry, brought the paper recycling to the basement, ate some really old forgotten chocolate form the freezer (which i think has made my stomache hurt), and some cereal with dried strawberries. folded laundry and hung your clean shirts in your empty-looking closet (who knew i'd be lonely?). decided i like marla hansen a little. just a little. looked through an issue of Best Zine ever and was inspired to make a zine. discovered the pretty nice icelandic band mum and thier song marmalade fires. talked to your cousin morgan who called from pimlico...decided to bike to blockbuster or join netflicks for a month and in a week watch all the movies you wouldn't like but remembered you have the only dvd player that doesn't skip...3 small strange flies circle near the ceiling and a headache brews. read jane delury's story refuge from an old urbanite-so sad. decided i like the band seabear. and really, someday must go to iceland. read an article about rhubarb (more on this tomorrow...stay tuned). fell in love with finnish singer lau nau.
