number five with a bullet.

• kevin's funeral last friday was surreal. basically everyone i have been friends with in the past five years was there. i saw people i had not seen in years. the church was packed. if i have half as many people at my funeral, i will be grateful. he was obviously loved and adored by many. it was strange seeing all of the splintered groups of friends in different parts of the church. "one hell of a reunion" one person called it, and it was in however unfortunate conditions. everyone was civil, regardless of past conflicts, and kevin would have been proud to see what his life amounted to. i choked up mainly when i saw the family at the front of the church watching everyone with teary eyes approach for communion. arg... it was a bizarre day. it still has not hit me.
• last weekend i spent almost every day with justin. so wonderful. we basically just lounged and watched movies. went to his comedy sportz thing on friday (it was a good crowd this time). went and saw the wrestler. i highly recommend it. went to chang mai thai for some fine cuisine. a very satisfying weekend. i am an extremely lucky girl.
• heather's birthday was on the 14th. i have yet to receive her presents in the mail. UPS can suck it. but happy birthday to my favorite woman!!!
• went to the spirit of 76's cd release party show. fantastic! they are my favorite local band. doug tears up the stage like nobody's business! flawless. they even had a choir dressed in gowns come on stage. wondrous. farewell continental opened for them, which was a nice thing having all of my favorite people in the room. they were the best i have seen them yet. kari killed it (in the best way) with vocals. energy was good. crowd was good. yummy! i am starting to love love love their music. they have found a nice niche. so i hung with my girls, my boys, my boy, and others that night. ended up going to the uptown diner at 2:00 AM with justin, tommy, and their bassist for late night food and jokes. i was so tired though, and the food did not sit well. ick.
• tuesday(?) i went to justin's little sister's family birthday party. i loveeee his family. they are such a hilarious, interesting, and intelligent group of people. we went to luce in st. paul. jackie turned the big 18! hoorah!
  
• went and saw vicky cristina barcelona with miss dagger yesterday. i had been DYING to see it for months. i love woody allen films, and cherise had said good things about it when she saw it in europe. it was worth seeing. i may buy it in a few days. but overall it was sort of meh. penelope cruz, however, is UNREAL. she was worth every ticket dollar! holy crap. see it so you can see her!
• tonight i will be hanging with justin, i do believe. i may be addicted. yup.

i will be more diligent on blogging soon. i have just been very busy and happy.
