Re: Well, she can hardly say "Netflix & Chill" and "Dirty Talk" in an interview. 😄

If Ze can announce to a whole crowd he fucked his wife for the last three days, she can also say that. Equality. 🤌

That's a good point. 😂

my first business midterm was a success! i only got one question wrong, and same goes for the second one i just took! 😁 so crazy i feel like i just started college and now i’m about to sign up for my next classes already :’) time flies

about the boy, don’t worry. it’s been a while since i found out about it and i am okay now. tbh i’m kinda glad we didn’t become anything more because looking back on it he wasn’t even all that omg i was just blinded by my “i can fix him” mindset along with the fact he was tall 😭 making jokes about the situation with my friends really helped me overcome it. plus i don’t think i had any sadness in me left the second i saw his new girl looks like me whoops but as crazy as it sounds even though he broke my heart i still trust he won’t ever tell anyone else the personal stuff i told him when i opened up to him so there’s that 👍

on a brighter note, so the concert was actually hitc omg which is technically not a concert lol but it was easier to type it as so but ANYWAYS hitc was SOO FUN it was definitely a memory for the books. rich brian was for sure my favorite set out of all the days. i think i saw you said you went as well??! how was your experience? whose set did you like the most?

i’m actually really happy with my life rn and the friends i have who are still in it. reflecting on the past couple months and what i went through, ik everything happened for a reason and have no regrets in any of the choices i made. in the end it all taught me lessons ik i probably wouldn’t have learned otherwise. so yeah this is the most content i’ve been in a long time :)

anyways i would love to hear your thoughts on the re-recorded version of red and the 10 minute all too well mv!! what’s your favorite song from the vault? for me ive been having message in a bottle on repeat i absolutely love the nostalgic vibe the best has & the lyrics hehe reminds me a lot of summer - 💐 anon

oh my gosh, congratulations, honey bee !!!!! 🥳🥳 that’s fantastic news, you did amazing, and I’m so proud of you 🤩🤩 I bet you’re the one who’s setting the grade curve in your classes :’) best of luck with enrollment !!! 🍀 I hope you’re able to get all the classes you want, lovebug 💕 are there any that you’re excited to take next quarter?

I’m glad to hear you’re doing well and are over that boy 💞 he didn’t deserve your time, effort, and feelings anyway 🤧 tall boys really have us in their clutch huh 😔 oof we gotta stay away from those types of boys that bring out the “I can fix him” mentality - they need a therapist first before we should even consider dating them SHUSJSDK omg his new girl looks like you?? All the best to her, I hope she sees the warning signs and moves from him too rip but it’s reassuring that you know/trust him enough that he will keep your secrets 💕

OMG YOU WERE AT HITC TOO ??? WASN’T IT SO GOOD !!!!! I made new friends there, and we’re planning to meet up again there next year !! And they also live close by, so we’re gonna hang out again sometime soon too 💘 YES I also loved rich brian’s set, also the ending stage when he and warren hue performed together was amazing 🤩 I wanted to see keshi perform the most and I loved his performance the most, but they did him so dirty with his mic 😡 I’m still mad about that hdjdjdjddk and I was super excited to see dpr, niki, and saweetie !!!! 💓💓

aaaaa I’m so happy to hear that you feel this way, sweetpea 🥺💟💟💟 I feel like when you reach that stage of happiness and contentment with your life, that’s the best place to be, like I don’t know how to explain it but it just feels so wonderful to be at peace with yourself and fully enjoy and embrace where you are in your life 💛💛 I hope you continue to feel that way, lovebug 🤍✨

OH MY GOSH I AM ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH RED TV 😭❤️❤️❤️ like I am still playing all too well ten min version on repeat today, and it’s been like that since Monday 🤧 ngl i cried over the all too well mv, especially the you dropped my hand scene. The age gap was just so uncomfortable to watch, but it also was portrayed so accurately and vividly, and it just felt so raw and out there. My song favorites are still treacherous and holy ground for the original tracks, but message in a bottle is my favorite vault song too !!!! 💜 I agree, it sounds so nostalgic and summery ✨ nothing new hits me hard tho 🤧 and the very first night is really pretty sounding 💓 what about you, honey bee? Which songs are your favorites? Did they change from your old favorites when the first album version came out? 🌷🌷

We just slipped passed out first official week of our holiday season. It’s the week with Kimmer's birthday in it that wound up being a very lovely day with the added bonus of sunshine through and through. Which, sadly, doesn't usually happen on her birthday, the sun coming out like that.

So it made for an extra special day.

Linzy joined us after we did birthday cards and presents and breakfast and a bunch of lazy first thing in the morning. She came bearing purple tulips after which she 'n I got down to making a special cake for Kimmer with Linzy taking the lead and doing the heavy lifting.

It turned out fabulous, by the way. So fabulous, in fact, that a few days later she gathered up a new batch of ingredients and made another one for herself.

Of course, while I appreciate the initiative... I can't help but think of it as a scam to get out of sharing.

Boooooooo.

We watched the movie “Sing Street” together while Kimmer multitasked a bit indulging her current craft project as the movie played.

Afterward, we went up the street to Rapport for a little bit of dining. A Tapster-style wine experience aided and abetted by a pair of flatbread offerings that were both, interestingly, spicy.

Good thing we had the wine, I must say.

At night, it was Kimmer 'n I again and we headed down to our new favorite bar to finish the night, Pub70 on the waterfront. The bartender there was an absolute gem of a human being, setting Kimmer up with a Pumpkin Hot Toddy. Then a few minutes later he comes back over to our table, worried that he didn't make the Toddy sweet enough. With that in mind, he's brought her a short glass of warmed up honey.

One more time:

Warmed up.

Honey.

Dear lord, in that moment, it legitimately felt like we might never leave our cozy booth.

Ever.

😊

By the way, we already indulged a Christmas movie. The 2019 film "Noelle" with Anna Kendrick, Bill Harder, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Shirley MacLaine in what has become an instant holiday classic for us.

We have also, actually just me, seen our first Christmas tree lot. Open for business at that Grocery Outlet on the corner of MLK and E. Union. With lights and everything.

Dang.

This week, I got serious about our Christmas letter, going through my Facebook activity that does a pretty good job capturing what we were up to any given month.

I'm up to May.

With that in mind, Kimmer's told me I'm absolutely forbidden to buy new Christmas cards.

Why?

Because every year I buy new ones and end up not using all of them. So at this point... I have a pretty significant stash of old (but new) Christmas cards. 

We're gonna unearth them either today or tomorrow.

Lastly, we did a little pre-functioning for Linzy's birthday. Linzy invited a bunch of friends down to Dreamland Bar in Fremont last night around ten. Only she didn't figure on how packed the place would be on a Friday night.

Without reservations.

Whoops.

So one of her friends got their name on a list for our group whilst we headed a coupla blocks over to the House Bar, a couple bars over from the High Dive on N. 36th. True, there was a hardcore metal band screaming their music in the downstairs courtyard... but the upsidedown ocean and clouds and model wooden ships scene crafted into and onto and extruding from the ceiling was fascinating.

Plus, I won't lie, the free beers were delicious.

Thank you, Harry. 😁

Somewhere in there, the word came down our table was ready at Dreamland. And boy was it ever. They had a long table set up for the lot of us where we finished the evening. 

Basically, it was 1am Saturday morning by the time we slipped outta there.

Tonight, Linzy's got another party going on. A 70s themed something or other in downtown someplace or other. And then this coming Tuesday, her actual birthday day... we'll spend the day with her for our family celebration.

So yeah.

The holidays. They are a-movin'.

❤️❤️❤️
