thanks to miss AmErika i

erika and i in 1994 

became a janes addiction and josephine baker fan

tasted sex in a bowl for the first time (that’s vanilla ice-cream and chamboird or rasberry liquour)

learned that “unhappiness can be a great motivator if you do not become too comfortable with it”

and that leaving your comfort zone can propel you into opportunities that you never even dreamed of

developed an unfettered love for sexy shoes

met and enjoyed the hell out of benson dubois

found out there’s is a squash that you can eat like spaghetti

and that cross stiching can be relaxing

discovered that sometimes you just can’t care what other people think or say

and that sometimes you should just keep your mouth shut

and the bad times? they pass too, just like the good times do

a very happy, happy, happy birthday to miss AmErika

    thank you, miss eritrea. our years in arlington together had to be some of THE best times in my life. i’m so glad we spent them with each other and that we were able to help propel one another into the lives we have today. without you, i wouldn’t be who i am. i love you.

    How very strange is it that I had not looked at your website in a short while and yesterday I posted pictures on my Flickr site from the same time period because I was missing you and Erika so much! That’s my old bedroom in Oak Lawn! :-)
