Lauren just asked me if i was going to write about how cool all my friends here are. i'm sure i could go on at length, but i'm not going to. ok lauren, you're SO COOL!! happy? but that would overlook andrew and apop (cough, amanda) and wendy and meredith and james and matt, and i'm not energized enough to do an in-depth analysis for all those people. lol. suffice it to say that life's going good, despite tonight's fiasco with the birthday gifts. i talked to my mom for like an hour, and sara and rae and heather for good long times each. tried calling other people with no success. oohhhh i have to call flanny back!!
