realized my dear friend martin died a few months ago. hadn't been able to reach him for a long while and then finally did the obvious thing and checked his facebook status where there were updates from his friends and family. goodbye dear sweet martin; you were always incredibly important to me. love you

each year my mom puts on a huge production of our traditional gift exchanges, decorations, food & fun. most people who do this much organizing work get paid thousands of dollars for party planning, she does it for free. thank you dear mama

"it's my duty as a family member and as an American citizen to help finish off the food left over from dinner before you put it in the refrigerator"
