Emerson and Doors

Alex is in finals.

Which means I am once again Widow Jones. Oh well, I am getting a lot of reading done. You know, Lord of the Rings, contempory novels my friend is always giving me, and my affair with Emerson. I love him. If there was no such thing as an AJ on this planet, I would marry Emerson and have his babies.

But, there is such a thing as an AJ.

And I'm married.

He was married.

And has been rotting in the ground for the past 150 years.

And then there's the distance-- Concord MA to Oregon-- we couldn't possibly foster a healthy relationship via cell phone.

Also, on reading some first-hand accounts, he had a hygiene issue. couldn't handle that.

Just a few things standing in the way of true love. But, love his brain. Oh yes, and since AJ is in finals, I don't get to use the computer that often because the computer is with AJ all the time. Hence, the reason I haven't blogged, facebooked, or emailed. No technology. Next thing you know, I'm going to start feeding the chickens, running barefoot in the prairie, doing needlework in corsets, and calling on people, just to find things to do.

But, just in case some of you wondered a) I haven't died b) I haven't started a hate-technology revolution. Although (b) is not a bad idea-- not because I hate technology, but rather because I think it would slowly like to see me die. Like the printer at work. The scanning function.

You know what other piece of technology I hate? Doors. So it's a rather old piece of technology, but the door handle on our apartment broke the other day-- as in it was deadbolted, but the handle fell off. So Alex and I had to enter and exit our apartment (did I mention we were throwing a get-together that night?) from our bedroom window. And all of our guests did too. Don't worry, a small ladder was provided. Our parties. They're always a kick. Oh, and the passenger side car door doesn't work either. So I have to roll down the window to open it from the outside. It's been like that for the last three months. I hope we don't plunge into a lake. According to myth busters, I'd be in big trouble.

Survey says

AJ: two thumbs up

AJ finals: two thumbs down, and big "BOOO" from the crowd.

Emerson: thumbs up, wink, wink.

Doors: thumbs down. Ohhhh! Slam!

Oh my. Just the mental image of your guests entering your place through the bedroom window was enough to make me laugh! Then your analysis of AJ vs. Emerson. I love it. I miss you, Katie!

...The scanning function made me laugh. I can just imagine your fretting over a green printer button and a few clicks on the computer. Never knew you were such an Emerson fan. Love it.

Your posts slay me.

Oh, and what's up doors?

Oh I have missed you!! The problem is I really do know that you are boycotting technology because you get frustrated with it and this is your way of slowly weening us off you! :D

I need your address, I have something for you :D

I love the randomness of this post.

Move back to Utah.

That's all.
