I don't want to stop being a taco. I don't want him to forget why I am.

I went to Rhode Island for the weekend, knowing that adam would be out of town, thinking it would allow me the space I needed to take apart the life we had together. Specifically, the bed. I’ve been stressing about the basic logistics of getting the mattress back to Vermont; what kind of vehicle would I need, how I would manage, etc. More so, I’ ( Read more... )

Oh, Ali, I miss you so much! Thanks for writing an LJ entry that made me weep. I think that just the fact that you can reflect and compose such an eloquent piece of writing about all of this is proof that you're handling this well.

Also, I thought it was really funny the other night when I called you and you couldn't talk, but before you passed me on to Maddy, you said "Wait, is everything OK?" I had been calling to make sure you were OK!

haha. I was really nervous when you called, because I really had to pee, and jason was telling me that a girl died trying to walk down the stairs to the bathroom at finnigan's (where we were). So if I sounded distracted it was because I was contemplating the stairs. I can't wait to see you!

I love you. I know you will pull through this, as hard and fucked up as it is right now. And is it okay if I hate Adam, even though I've never met him?

Move to Denver?

Nooney! And your writing! And advice via AIM. Thank you! Yes, feel free to hate adam, I feel okay about that. Additionally, I was just talking to my mom about how I want to move out west. Not right away, I am kind of happy to be back in burlington, but I was telling her that I want to go visit you in Denver and also check out Boulder. Are you available for visitors in the September/October time period? I want to try to rent a car and drive to Oregon and California, as well. This is all assuming, of course, that I win some sort of money in the next month.

Yes, I would love to have you here! The only plans I have during that time is the last weekend in October, when I'll be in New Jersey being all bridesmaidy.

Would you like company going to CA and OR? Because I really want to go to both places, and maybe it would be fun. And when I say maybe I mean definitely.

[look at Rachel Ries' tour schedule and plan a road trip around that we'll be in California AND Oregon *cough*]

Oh, you've made me cry! Ari is right, your introspectiveness will allow you to make the best of a shitty situation as you possibly can. You are an inspiration to me.

And you, to me. I had fun being abused by you at the OP the other night. And dancing, obviously. Though I worry we're getting old . . . we couldn't go for as long as we used to. We'll have to work our way back up.
