Sonnet 87

What follows is a description of my High School Friend B’s wedding back in 2003, written the day after the wedding. It has acquired legendary status in the IP-WordNerd households, so after posting about IP’s roommate’s wedding, I thought I’d follow up with this little gem. Comments from 2007 WordNerd in italics:
Yesterday, IP [...]

Oh, yuck.  Art Fair begins today.  Here’s a rant from two years ago in which I lament the arrival of Art Fair.  The below still holds true today - it’s also been edited for web consumption.  But yes, go to hell, Art Fair.

Ranting on.
Well, today it starts.  Yesterday was set-up, but today is the first [...]

Because I am slowly but surely making my way through five hours of sunny Sebring . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I was reading my latest assignment (Sexing the Cherry), and happened to look up and out of my window.  My window faces the east end of campus, and I get a spectacular view of the red neon sign [...]

While there is plenty of hockey to be had (including the finals of the World Cup last [...]

Written on the plane ride home from Mexico. Written after a particularly difficult year in college, written after a particularly heartbreaking summer.
*****************************************
. . . Ten more pages to go, including this one. I probably will finish this before the 25th. Too much has happened to not write. If I sit down [...]

Written while preparing for my Colorado vacation this summer. I came across it today - it made me giggle, what can I say?
*************************************************
I’m wandering around Briarwood Shopping Mall, looking for anything that remotely resembles a hiking shoe. I wander and wander, and must’ve racked up about a mile in walking distance. Final score for the [...]

Ah, that Paper Archives. Things I’ve written over the years that no eyes but mine have ever seen. Until now. I’ll usually post to the Paper Archives when I’m either a) blocked or b) completely tired and want to post something that makes me laugh or cringe each time I go back [...]
