april showers

I like april. And the great thing about a good april (which I feel tonight was) is that after everyone leaves, I feel like writing. Tonight, however, I'm not sure what to write about. I expended all of my positive energy in my post about my job (Bongos in the RB) and while I know you all enjoy angsty posts and poems from the queen of, I'm just not in the mood.

Over the break I congratulated myself on not having anyone ask if I was engaged to, dating, or interested in any boy. Up until the night before I returned to Provo. I ran into a friend's mom and after I asked how Emily is doing, she had a question of her own. "So are you in love?" I quickly shook my head and said something to the effect of "Too busy to be in love." I am now re-evaluating that answer and here present a list of what and who I am in love with.

1. em-dashes (even though I can't figure out how to do them on this and I'm too lazy to cut and paste from Word)
2. Ben and Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk
3. Counting Crows and Frou Frou
4. Muffy (my car)
5. Ethan Hawke in Dead Poets, John Cusack in Say Anything, and Laurence Olivier in Pride and Prejudice
6. photographs
7. Michael Johnson
8. LM Montgomery and Louisa May Alcott novels
9. Drive Me Crazy (yes, with Melissa Joan Hart)

I was going to hit 10, but here's a challenge for all my friends/readers/bosses: what is my number 10?

I think you're in love with being in not-love.

I will not respond to HMP's response. Although there are many things I could say. Which begs the question, "Why am I still typing?"

K: excellent question. Would you like me to answer it?

HMP: While I do adore you and your fabulous middle finger, I'm afraid your answer is incorrect. Now if you had said peanut butter M&Ms, you'd be on the right track.
