I've written pages upon pages trying to rid you from my bones

Good lord I love The Decemberists (hence the title.) I've finally found peace I think. I've spent the last year and a half searching, and hurting, and pretty much wallowing in self pity but I think last night I finally cracked it. I spent the night reading notes from high school, and year book stuff and I realized that the things holding my back have been my tendency to only remember the bad things in people in events. In truth even if I no longer talk to a person the majority of the memories I have with them are wonderful; it's just that for some reason it's easyier for me to remember the bad rather than the good. I'm not sure if I had a point I just felt the need to say that I think things are going to be better for me from here on out.
So last night Mark and I had a 6 year old's dream date. First we ate at The Varisty (which was awesome) then we decided to see if we could eat Krispy Kreme, or if it would kill us. Well luck was on our side because when we pulled into the one on Ponce the hot sign was on. Needless to say we got some doughnuts. After that we ended up rockin' the Scrabble at Jittery's with Woody, then catching a movie before turning in for the night. Rereading that it doesn't sound like the greatest date ever but I had a blast. It's always fun to do shit like. If you don't you should try it. Oh by the way Mark and I are embarking on a diet and work out plan...we'll see how this works.

It's already over.

I think you need to start a work-out and diet plan after eating the varsity and krispy kream in the same night! disgusting! hahaha, i'm only kidding (it is disgusting...but you do not need to diet).

Once you start only remembering happy memories, suddenly your life seems a lot better. However, I don't think you need to ignore the negative memories because those are often the things that we learn the most from.

you really should get your abs back, but then again doughnuts are good to.
