guitar playin’ man May 31, 2008

Peeber is a natural at the guitar. Marshall, you would appreciate his serious love for the broken guitar in my room. He’s been playing it for two days straight now…ai yai yaiiiii. Even if he wakes me up at god awful hours in the morning, he’s still my one and only baby boy/true love.

So, i arrive at the country club yesterday morning and this guy is standing at his car next to where i parked. I got out and all he said was “listen”. I stopped rummaging through my bag and listened to what sounded like a serious fire or car alarm coming from the trees down the hill. “The cicadas are here…only every seventeen years” he said. That’s when i texted my dear marshall to inform her that they are certainly making their arrival. The perimeter of our house is lined with little holes in the dirt, definitely the work of the almighty bugs. Point being….come back to asheville immediately, my little neighbors!!!!

The country club is super easy and i’m starting to get to know the people i work with. Zack’s 20th birthday party was two nights ago and it was rather insane. People on the roof, in my room, across the street jumping on our neighbor’s trampoline….me oh my. My birthday party will be much classier.

My sister graduates june 10th so i’ll be making my way back to durham for the festivities. yee hawww. I can’t wait to see my long lost friends of the village. My cousin’s here, staying with me in the house for an unknown period of time…he’s attempting to find housing around these parts. Apparently, it’s a lot easier for women to find places to live than men…most of the ads specifically ask for female tenants only.

I’m off to work for the upper class elite assholes of the club. I hope to talk to you ALL sooooooon.

loveeeeeeee!

i got pibber on my arm and still make the mad cash in the streets May 25, 2008

I have to first mention the INCREDIBLE video marshall posted up here…seriously, i know you’re going to think that i’m juusssstttt saying this BUT it’s really very true, awesome. jenny lenny and marshy larshy are just too cute for words. MWAH!

i wrote THAT lil message before she’d created ANOTHER masterpiece within mere hours of the other one. my personal video POM is kind of mind blowing for me to experience. thaaaaaank you marshall for helping me realize it’s okay to want to watch myself in my own personal music video.

my cat has pretty much changed my life hardcore. i love him like i’ve never loved anything. he’s so dependent on me and loves every bit of me just as i do him. i’m sitting here on my new fabulous bed in my faaaab new house watching him play with imaginary bugs and every string in the room. my room has turned into his room and i just live here with him…just as i like it. i’m with him every minute that i’m home. i’ve started drinking less and not staying up quite as late. he sleeps in my bed and we wake up together…or he wakes up and then i must as well. he makes every morning and every day a spectacular one. lovelove love him.

the doyles, liz, blair and i went to hairspray last night. it was maaaadness. such crazy fun…we pretty much OWNED the dance floor. next time i go i’m hoping i can get jen drunk enough on TRIPLE X SMIRNOFF ICE or is it TRIPLE BLACK? either way, you’ve got to come and dance it up next time, lady. my love for the doyles was reaffirmed and they made me remember how lucky i am to live in asheville and have the opportunity to make such incredible friendships with amazing people…just like the ladies and gentleman that are reading this. i love you allllll and i MISSSSSSSSSSS you!!!!!

Pibber=Joy May 19, 2008

So, i’m getting a kitty. This week. And I’m so ridiculously excited.  He’s fabulous and gangsta fly and his name is PIBBER!? i love this so much. not only because our house spends millions every year on PBR beer, but it’s adorable and crazy and makes very little sense which makes it PERFECT FOR ME! Molly and I are going to adopt it hopefully on Wednesday.  I have to be interviewed so i’m making molly come with me and pretend she’s my life partner. 

 

Yesterday some of the housefolk went “hiking”.  Normally, this would mean driving to a pretty mountain area and walking around in nature.  For the 6 of us it meant driving for hours with plenty of PBR in our packs in two separate cars.  We had to stop at least 4 times because everyone to pee…but not to worry, the awesome kiah superhero stepped up and was the designated driver.  It ended up raining and we decided to give up and stop at the soda shop in a small mountain down. SO WONDERFUL and DARLING.  We ate hot dogs that were called chili willies and that made me way happy.  I met an ethnomusicologist who chatted with me about mountain towns and how fabulous they are.

The country club shit begins soon and i will be way overwhelmed.  I have so many rules and regulations to remember and the crazy snake man keeps awkwardly flirting with me when i come in to train.

i miss you allllll LOTS. i’ll talk to you soooooon.
