calm before the storm
I wake up to discover that Jenn has been up for hours. She runs on appointments all morning while I eat leftover pizza and watch X-Men. I find pictures of Jim* and Jenn during that fateful spring break at my house. There is even one of Jim teaching Brandon how to be gay. He’s striking this uber-femmy pose and tiny Brandon is imitating him - beaming up at him and laughing. There’s another one of Jim, Jenn, Cracker, Krist and I in a doggy pile on the old student center grates.
Once Libby shows up, the bridesmaid brigade goes to Target so I can get J&J a present. On the way to housewares, I get distracted by picnic basket things and decide that I’m going to get them a full-on picnic set instead. I am feeling SO SMART.
We get to the church late, but not as late as my aisle-date (Dan). When the vows are read, all of the bridesmaids lose our shit. Seriously. As Dan and I process down the aisle, we sing “Foxy!” to each other. We decide that we are the hottest couple in the whole church, and that if only he weren’t gay, we would have to marry each other.
The rehearsal dinner is hilarious. Libby and her aisle-date Ryan perform for us all evening. Jim makes a very emotional speech. The girls all get matching jewelry, which just happens to be my birthstone. Dan and I have some quality bonding time outside while smoking - and talk about far more serious things than we ever did while we were still in college together. I didn’t have any idea how much I’d missed him.
That night at Jenn’s is wonderful. We put Noxzema on our faces and give each other backrubs. When it’s finally time to sleep, I keep her up for an extra few minutes just whispering back and forth like we did when we were roommates. I realize, as she finally falls asleep, that this is the last time that will ever happen.
* Jim - Jenn’s boy.
* spring break - Jim and Jenn and our friend Catie road-tripped down to my parents’ house. My mother predicted that Jim and Jenn would get together, before any of US had any idea.
wtf?
this is less comprehensible than some of the things my students turn in

There are still a smattering jewelryinolog of AM stereo radios in older jewelry cars. I don’t know of any new religious jewelry cars (and I rent quite a few) christian jewelry that still feature it. Far as dog jewelry I know, nearly all of the radios silver jewelry and tuners shown here are no gold jewelry longer being manufactured. Most man
were hen’s teeth when they were new, too. That even goes for
