what katie did - the libertines (kate moss)

Matching Moles, Matching Souls

So I've already broken Rule #4, but I promise I'll get better at this. You see, my life has taken on a crazy new twist. A graduation, a move away from the Practically-Perfect-in-every-way-Pittsburgh, a trip to France, an engagement, and now a move to the City of Brotherly Love has occupied my mind for the past month. I know, I know, excuses are lame, but I swear I'll make it up to you!

So following the rules of the previous post (as I lack any original thoughts at this moment) I begin my first post.

1. We participated in our final wine night together, celebrating in an empty apartment with a bottle of Stateside's wine. This was followed by sleeping shoebox style on an air mattress that had lost most of its air.

Headstands are much easier and less dangerous when there are no chairs to jump out at you. Although, Jesus does Heal.

2. While sitting under a cross (they're everywhere, although no one even goes to church anymore) on a small island (i.e., 10 ft in total) in the South of France (Collioure), I noticed a man (French, obviously) standing near me (behind, actually), marveling at the wonders (the sea) of God's creation (the earth). It was a beautiful sight, indeed, and French Vanilla (FV) and I both enjoyed the view tremendously.

This man had Celiac disease. And you see, the people in France carry their burdens on their shoulders....

I kid, I kid. They just carry their lunches and no lunch is complete without a few fresh baguettes.

3. The next year of my life will be spent learning French phrases that will allow me to survive when I move in August 2011. The most essential phrases I have already learned in Spanish (i.e., "Yo soy alergica a triga." and "Yo quiero la gente pobre.") Once I have mastered these in French, I should make lots of friends and really have no problem adjusting to a life there.

I already am able to read french. Baguette, gluten, tour Eifel, etc. So needless to say, I am not too worried about it.

So in regards the rest of the rules, I really have nothing to say about them. I am very much looking forward to being prompt and using key phrases such as "I did a leprechaun dance out of the DMV today when I realized it would only take 2 days to transfer my car to my father Praise God."

I also look forward to planning a wedding and I hope you don't mind if I use this as a way to communicate things to you such as, "I am already bored".

Polka dots fill my eyes....
