Thank you.

This identity in the blogging world will be picking up soon, but the catalyst of forthcoming input is:

What I'm Thankful For... (I normally don't get cheesy on holiday, but this is one where I feel it's pertinent to list what one is thankful for in their lives):

- Family and friends
- My school and degree path
- My coworkers
- digital audio workstations
- living in a thriving area of creativity/art
- my health
- the ability to love, realize truth and perceive events involving myself (from other people's perspective)
- An extremely intelligent partner in crime, along with his extremely intelligent fam.
- Of Montreal (to lighten the mood)
- Vinyl albums
- Audio Engineering Society
- My BFF Amy Starks
- Occasionally sleeping...
- Being able to read/write
- NASA.. thanks for teaching me what is out there.
- All the love in my life.

Secret Lover

So, for the sake of nostalgia, this is a poem I wrote in creative writing with my best friend from high school in our junior year (2001-2002, for those of you counting):

Secret Lover

The moon shone brightly like a big flashlight in the sky. She raced across the kitchen like an indy 500 car on the racetrack. Ripping apart the kitchen frantically, she searched for her one true love: Four inches of ecstasy.

All of a sudden, she caught sight of her lover. She wrapped her hand firmly around the ice-cold exterior of conventional wisdom. Tonight was the night. Tonight was when two become one. Tonight.

In the bedroom she lies among the silken sheets with her lover beside her, enveloping the sweet liquid dispersing out of her partner. After she has taken in every drop, she opens her eyes and kisses the Dr. Pepper good night.

Fun fact: This got published in our annual literary magazine!

Update: Skeletal LAMPing

My lamp is awesome.

Of Montreal "Skeletal Lamping"

Was Polyvinyl's biggest pre-sale in its' history!!

I don't know why, but I feel an odd level of self-satisfaction that I was a part of it.

I can't wait for my paper lamp with naked people on it!

CRISIS: Averted!

Sweet! I go away for a week and come back to a new and pretty looking iLm.

I extend the following pseudo-apology:

God- Sorry about that whole "s-list" thing... but you really should have let me know they were doing improvements. Lesson learned, you will know better next time, and hey, we all make mistakes pal!

CRISIS:DAY 4

Ok, so why is it that when I Google "I love music" I can see in the text preview that someone has posted something on there 18 minutes ago?

I would rather endure both iron maidens simultaneously than not have access to my fellow music assholes and their opinions that aren't as good as mine :(

CRISIS: DAY 3.5

Dear God,

You are officially on my shit list.

Love,
Blythe
