ah, locke, what have you gotten us into?

16 days left: because he appreciates things for all the right reasons, and none of the wrong, here in status-symbol land.

hand-in-hand

if you need us, we'll be over there, giggling at the world

blackbird

20 days left: because he doesn't give up easily.

have i mentioned how awesome lava java is? ...'cause it really really is.

21 days left: because there is no his or mine; there is only ours, and that spirit of sharing reaches from the smallest glasses of tea to the most beloved treasures of bikes and guitars. it's actually one of my favorite things about us.

some people will never understand, but we'll be happy anyway

22 days left: because of onitsuka tigers, argyle socks, gap jeans, american apparel elephant 6 shirts, dark plastic frames, brown hair, and no shame.

those gnawing sounds aren't coming from my stomach!

23 days left: because he'll always, without hesitation or annoyance, kill the creepycrawlies for me if they get in the house. and in exchange, i always kill the spiders for him, if they get inside.

on a side note: happy birthday, seth! i wish you your most enjoyable, memorable, and easy year yet. i've got a good feeling about this one. : )

i've always been partial to the sky world of smb3

24 days left: because he'll play super mario bros. just because i ask him to (i find it enormously entertaining to watch).

which prompts the survey question: which part of the first four mario games do you like the most?

any level/world/area/whatever of the original three NES games or super mario world for SNES is fair game.

i'm starting a bring-back-the-harpsichord campaign

26 days left: because the things (movies, events, moments) we share become just as special to him as they do to me.

so many happy memories to come

the pursuit of happiness

Mouthfuls
By Fruit Bats

32 days left: because he's not afraid of commitment. in fact, he's more devoted to his partner than a lot of men and women i've known. so take heed, gender-stereotyping society: maybe so many men are non-committal because we tell them that's what we expect them to be!

35 days left: because he taught me how to not be afraid of the crackly amplified electric guitars, and in turn opened up a whole unexplored world of fantasticness.

tqc: not just another pretty face

36 days left: because he showed me how to recognize the ephemeral and lovingly absorb each special time & place.

and now, a little 3:45am humor!

Q: if all the spices got together and decided to form their own little Platonic society, who would be their philosopher-king?








got a guess?








A: why, Sage, of course.






i swear i had already come up with this stupid joke when i found this picture. i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw it.

37 days left: because he understands why things make me cry.

it's a question of values

38 days left: because he would pick $100,000 in a society of $200,000 rather than $50,000 in a society of $25,000.

baymont, etc.

39 days left: because he's my favorite road-trip partner ever. (sorry, mom.)

on a related note, the tonewheel boys are having happy hour musictimes every other week at beerland, thursdays 7-9pm. i went tonight, and it was incredibly entertaining. it's free, so you've got no excuse not to come.

people involved tonight included members of:
ink
the early tapes
tacks, the boy disaster
sparrow house
peel
can you beat that? i think not.

finally L O S T with the rest of the world

43 days left: because he keeps his promises, even when it's not easy.
