omg my friends are getting married.

today i received the exciting news that my darling friend meryd is ENGAGED! to be MARRIED! omgeeeeeee! so exciting.

sometimes when people get engaged/married it weirds me out. but for some reason meryd's engagement doesn't. maybe because i know she's going to remain the fabulous lady she's always been despite being an old married person. heh.

meryd & i - reunited in new york, summer 2006!
meryd & i were co-counselors at camp cayuga in the beautiful pocono mountains of northeastern pennsylvania way back in 1999. and we're still friends despite seeing each other every 1.5 years. whoa, huh? i love her and am so excited for her! and jay, her fiance, of course. he's alright in my book too.

the best part of my conversation w/ her about the wedding was when she said "i don't know where or what we're going to do, all i know is that i'm going to have a pig roast." hahaha. yep, that pretty much sums it up. xoxoxo.

mouth agape.

ummmmm - what is going on here? last night i was catching up on my weekly dose of the hills (shut up, you like it too. and don't even get me started on heidi & spencer!), and you know how they play little snippets of videos while they're showing the credits - like "discover & download" or something or other? yeah, well usually it's some stupid emo band or evanescence or whatnot. but this time it was SILVERSUN PICKUPS. seriously. our precious little SSPU. on mtv. huh?

this is good because maybe the kids will start listening to good stuff and stop going to let's say, panic! at the disco shows...but then that also means that the kids are going to be at SSPU shows. with me. and i'm getting old and can't handle 19 year olds wearing eyeliner and band tshirts from before they were born. errrr, wait, i guess i've done that before...

crap - maybe i'm really a 19 year old emo hipster kid trapped in a 27.66 year old body?

champs.

best. new year's eve. ever. once my brain starts functioning halfway decently again, i shall post details...
