Had the craziest dream last night.

I was in love with a Mennonite boy who was a friend of the family. I wanted to marry him and be with him, but wanted him to be a little less Mennonite-y. His parents were freaky deaky Mennonites but in my dream, they were more like David Koresch/survivalist Mennonites. Building log cabins and such. We were discussing it when Joe woke me up to kiss me goodbye this morning. I vaguely remember asking him if we could become Mennonites. I'm pretty sure he said "No".

My dream Mennonite was awfully cute. Dark, curly hair. A little on the pudgy side but tall. And so loving and sweet. Sigh. But I'm also pretty sur the reason he was single was that his first wife, who was 90 years old had died.

Huh. A.'s Cool Friend's Parents must be rich.(Stepmonster putting the climb in social climber) because neither she nor my dad are cool, but rather Anyaesque. I guess I had "Born in The Usa" when I was a few years older, and it wasn't till I was older I really got all the songs. Maybe there's hope for him yet. And I've only heard "Idiot" once, I guess I had the idea that it was the "What's Goin' On?" of alterna-rock...maybe nsm, at least so overtly.

Happy Belated Anniversary, J & Z!

wrod! Cereal to my last: I have no problem with overt anti-war messages, for kids or anyone else, but sm has stopped playing the Dixie Chicks because Natalie Maines got "controversial" so I was thinking it was weird she didn't. But then, they are weird, so...

Happy aniversary, J & Z! Plus, I am going to be in Minneapolis from September 12th-19th for business. I want to see you guys if possible!

So, there is a wedding in my backyard on Sunday. I have been working really hard for the last month or so getting things ready. In the sickest news ever, I started think of what project I can start after the wedding. Where did my lazy bones go?

Ooooo. I could see about getting you into the opening of You Can't Take It With You, which I'm Assistant Directing, and maybe a run-through of Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical, which Z is directing. If you'd like. But yay! I'd love to see you.

And thanks for the wishes, y'all. It's been a fun one.

erika, maybe sm hasn't paid attention to the GD lyrics?

erika, odds are good the parents won't be able to understand the lyrics. So maybe the message will go over their heads. Owen LOVES Holiday. He rocks out to it.

I think the things they'd be most likely to pick up on and object to would be the occasional profanity.

If they catch onto the politics themselves (rather than someone else mentioning it), it'll be during Holiday's reference to the Eiffle Tower.

This is, of course, assuming they themselves ever hear any of it.

Heck, I wouldn't notice the politicalness of a song unless someone pointed it out to me. As much as I like poetry and metaphor and even bluntness, I never really pay that much attention to song lyrics (unless it's Broadway show tunes), I'm all about the melody, harmony and just losing myself in the flow of the song.

Job~ma for Susan and P-C.

Also, Happy Anniversary, juliana and Zach!
