Welcome Back to Me!

Um, so I've been gone a long while...and although I know you didn't even realize I was missing, I feel that I should explain myself.

First, just finished finals on Thursday--one quarter down, one quarter to go. I did some wacky, wacky essays that I should probably post here. Why don't I just entice you with some titles? For one English class: Hamlet and Sex: Two Interpretations on Film. For my other English class: The Dreamworld of Female Sexuality in Dogeaters. Picking up on a theme? I am totally dirty. But they were by far the most compelling essays I have written, at least from a composition point of view.

Second, went to California for Uncle Wolfgang's funeral which was really, really hard. Came back, met Matt at the airport (he was just getting back from a business trip in Richmond, VA), and we promptly went and saw General Public at the Phoenix Underground. http://photo.sing365.com/music/picture.nsf/CoverPicUnid/48256C71003578A248256C14000D676F/$file/Hand.jpg Totally rockin', because we got to hear a lot of English Beat stuff http://tralfaz-archives.com/coverart/E/englishbeat_stopf.jpg. We dance our asses off and have a great time. The next morning we go out for breakfast at the (new) Original Pancake House. http://www.lothie.com/netpix/Pictures_of_Places/pix/Original_Pancake_House.jpg After we stuff ourselves on coconut pancakes and waffles, in the parking lot http://www.floridastars.org/icons/NPB/parking_lot.jpg Matt finally proposed and we went off to Fred Meyer to get a ring http://www.nzion.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000013/EGR2240C.jpg (I think the one I chose looks a lot like that, actually). So we are engaged. And then we went to Georgia to see Timmy graduate from Ranger School, so now he has his Ranger Tab and he is bas ass. http://www.thebattlezone.com/decals/decalpix/dl-ar-ra-116.jpg
