My little cousin Alyx graduated from high school last night. The valedictorian gave her speech and I immediately transported back to my own graduation, sitting in the blistering sun, probably the only person in my graduating class who was just so sad to have high school be over. I was that girl. The one who loved high school. But then I graduated and made a mess of my life that summer (Hawaii with 8 girls anyone?) and then moved far far away for four years.

And then you look back and think, what the hell happened to all those people? I coulda sworn I never thought I’d stop talking to the majority of ’em. I mean, shit, my “will” in the school paper was filled with inside jokes and pacts that – back then – were supposed to last forever.  Yeah, high school, what a trip.

I gave Alyx the biggest hug after the graduation, like, guhhh, you’re in for a surprise.

It’s Dylan’s birthday.  I love this photograph of him and Joan Baez.  My favorite song:

Please see from me if her hair hangs long / That’s the way I remember her best

Agent Anything was created to set up fair trade between two groups of people: college students (aka agents) looking to make a quick buck and busy, hardworking people (aka clients) who don’t have time to complete their daily tasks (aka missions). The client simply posts their mission and how much their willing to pay for its completion and if the agent deems it worthy of their time, they accept. Once the mission is completed, the agent gets paid.

Currently available only in NYC and NJ.

To have that sense of one’s intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. To lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference.

My dearest friend Analee recently celebrated her 25th birthday and joined the quarter life club with N and me. In honor of her birthday, moreover – in honor of celebrating our every day lives, we are documenting each day of the coming year with a photograph. Again, I find myself collaborating with a close friend, states away. The joy in making things with people you love transcends boundaries.

So, I lift my glass to Analee, and I lift my glass to N for her amazing exhibition in Ohio, and say: thank you for letting me do this with you.

Welcome to Our 25th Year.

Love,

We were not having any fun, he had recently begun pointing out. I would take exception (didn’t we do this, didn’t we do that) but I had also known what he meant. He meant doing things not because we were expected to do them or had always done them or should do them but because we wanted to do them. He meant wanting. He meant living.  Didion

bid farewell to my ladies last night and then returned west.  lump in your throat sort of flight, you know?

the midwest is a world of its own, but being with the girls is just so damn good.
