foreigner mcdee

i just got home from spending time with matt. yay!! i haven't seen him since october. its funny how so much can change in such a short amount of time. there was much to fill him in on. he's such a weirdo. he offered tips on curing my acid reflux by taking spoonfulls of vingar and gave me my birthday present. man, he's place is soooooo chaotic. i get super overwhelmed by it, it helps put the disorder in my room in perspective. i used to clean his apartment for him a couple times a year. he even paid me to do it a occassionally.

he's so funny. a lot of who i am is because of him. i'd say other than my family, matt and melinda have been the most influencial people in my life. but ya, a large chunk of my sense of humour was rubbed off of him. and some of my sayings and a few of my various laughs are from him too.

i admire how he finds everything funny, and that's one thing i picked up from him. at one point today i was saying "oh i just don't care... or i don't know, do i care? ya, i guess i do" and he laughed hysterically at this because he said it was like i was interviewing myself. like "i don't know les, i'll get back to you on that one..."

today when i was at my mom's for sunday lunch and was leaving to see matt, she said "we've missed matt, we haven't seen him in a while", so that just got me on a tangent about how frustrated i am that i never see him anymore. i think i've been so angry about that because it makes me sad and i've missed him. while we're kinda on this topic... i think its really weird how she always says "we don't approve of this" or "we feel that" or "we blah, blah, blah". it took me a long time to realize that her words didn't actually represent joy and tim thoughts, and it got me wondering "who the heck is this WE she keeps talking about?!?!?!" i still have no idea.

here's a pic of me and matthew at camp one summer. oh i guess that was in 2002. which would mean i was 22 and he was just turning 24. you can kinda see in this picture how long my hair was.

when we fall, love will catch us everytime time.

so true! I collect bits of my friends and housemates and make them part of me. like bum-pinching, and snorting while laughing and little sayings. isn't that interesting?
