Someone's getting married...

...and it's me!

Mike proposed to me last Sunday, March 16th. Apparently he'd had the ring since January but wanted to wait until before I went to see my friends in Arizona (where I'm headed tomorrow). I could explain how he did it....or you can watch for yourselves in this convenient youtube clip. (I love how pretty much everything in my life has been recorded for posterity...ah growing up in the digital age)


And yes, he did call me a bitch at the end. It was a joke, we were at an improv show! Actually it was very sweet, because my mom and brother and a bunch of my close friends were there. I really appreciated them being there for the big moment.

Anyway, the wedding won't be for about 2 years, and no I have no other plans. I know who I want to be in it, but I've only told one of those people. I was sick monday and yesterday, so today is really the first day I'm getting around to getting the word out. And tomorrow I'll be in 80 degree weather enjoying the Grand Canyon, so it's now or never!

I gotta go pack, but some people have requested pictures of the ring close up, so here is the best one I have:


I'll post more soon, I swear! I've been extremely busy with runs and now engagements and vacations, but I'll post the presumably beautiful pictures from the AZ when I get back on tuesday.

YAY! I'm so excited for you guys. I finally got a new computer at home, and I just realized that you might have posted a picture on here. A video is even better! I'm glad I checked. Congrats to both of you.

OMG! I am so envious. There is a ring with my name on it at the moment...only, I don't want it. It is all very complicated, but we should talk soon!

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February ...

Silence is Golden

So I can talk. Maybe not as eloquently as I type, but I have no trouble striking up conversations with people. However, talking is not the same as expressing emotions through words, which I have a very hard time doing. I feel like it's very hard for me to say how I feel to people, for fear of getting put down, and sometimes, for fear of hurting others' feelings. Now when Andrew and I were in the process of our horrendously emotional breakup, I was crying a lot, but not saying much at all. So Andrew was confused and tried to get me to emote by constantly asking me how I was feeling, which wasn't helping the matter at all. Well Andrew has just broken up with the girl he went out with after me (BEFORE I started dating Mike, I may add). She's very hurt and keeps wondering what things she could have done to change how he felt and why he didn't tell her much of a reason why he didn't want to be with her. This makes me feel guilty for never telling Andrew anyth...

Hmm I see a trend with who in Hollywood I am attracted to: (besides Hugh Jackman, who is just, in general, the perfect man) Colin Farrell James Spader Sean Penn Olivier Martinez Michael Madsen Russell Crowe The Rock Edward Norton Justin Theroux In case you can't guess....they've all played some real badasses and/or are badasses in real life. I guess I'm just one of those people...you know, the girls who go for the bad guy. Not all the time, but I've noticed I am dramatically more attracted to someone in a movie when they become "bad". Say for instance....Sam Rockwell in Charlie's Angels (I know, bad film, whatever, but it's the perfect example) I could care less about him until the scene where he starts dancing and smoking a cigarette......so hot. Maybe I'm like the people in Crash.....maybe I just get off on violence. I don't think so though, I think I just like the power in people. Power is hot. So is a disregard for the ...
