- 13:31 a Monday of mishaps shall end in Margaritas #
Open Ended
This is my life, this is eternal (they're one, but not the same)
- 08:22 bizzaro dream with Kara Smith, Becky Anderson, I think Shane & his parents, but I'm not sure, all at my house with Chinese food & lightning #
- 17:28 Oh... how I want this hat that I could where nowhere... bit.ly/A0EqM #
- 11:20 have a smorgasbord of lyrics dancing in my mind, none of which help me figure out what to do for lunch. #
- 08:55 kinky hair from braids, hungry belly, buzzing brain #
- 10:14 I want a place I can take my favorite pants & shirt and say "Recreate these in all the colors" for less than an arm & leg--maybe just an arm #
- 10:36 1 yr at my job today. I think I'm the only one keeping track. #
- 13:39 dude! dude. #
- 19:03 helped Daddy dig a ditch, Mom & I cleaned windows & relocated the bird (not a euphemism). Now to cook dinner, assemble & make a bed #
- 22:55 ugh? long drive home made worse by construction traffic. 11mph at 11pm is the dumb. #
- 11:38 on my way to see my folks, still smiling from yesterday's fun with friends, food, babies & pool time. #
- 10:07 would like to go back to the days of knee-length bathing suits, but only for the bathing suits. #
- 09:16 is not allowed to listen to Elliott Smith at the office anymore--makes me mopey & belligerent #
Alright, this isn't all of my Andrew's Birthday Playlist, but it is a sample. 100 songs. Some of which are here because Andrew sings them, or drums them (Adonis, Sweet P Jesus--aka the Salavating Pavlovs). Some of them are here because Andrew & I saw the band live together (Ben Kweller, Death Cab for Cutie, Dashboard Confessional, Cex, lots of others). Some are just local bands, or stuff I played on KRNU (Bright Eyes, Catfight!) and that makes me think of the time Andrew came on my radio show. Some of them just remind me of Andrew for reasons I don't really know (Hey There Delilah, Jude), and he might hate the song, but I like it. Some of them are here because I know he doesn't like them (Beautiful Day, anything by The Coral) but I do, and when I hear them, I remember that. Some are here because they're bands we both like (Smashing Pumpkins, The Smiths). Some are here because Andrew introduced me to the band--whether he likes them or not (Taking Back Sunday). Some are songs I remember driving around Lincoln listening to with him(Coldplay, OK Go).
I think that pretty much covers everything on this list.
( The soundtrack I've just made up )

- 19:39 good make-up + good margarita + husband + promise of fajitas = happy wife #
- 10:07 loved my "Andrew's Birthday" playlist so much, I'm still listening today. Got 678 songs to get through. #
June 17th, 2009--Andrew gets another year older

nostalgic
Today, in honor of Andrew’s birthday, I shall only listen to music that he introduced me to, or that reminds me of him. I shall remember him with black hair & black fingernails, wearing his Smashing Pumpkins shirt in our poetry class, or drinking Fishbowls at Duffy’s on my 21st birthday, or in a tux, black Chuck’s, and purple argyle socks at my wedding. I shall remember him in a cowboy hat with a guitar and mood lighting, singing in a bar. I shall remember him in his Embassy Suites uniform, making up mixed drinks to my whim, or drinking Moscow Mules at Rogue’s, when it was still Rogue’s, and not Zen and the Art of Martini Maintenance, throwing darts (badly, on my part). I’ll remember him at the Sokol Underground and the St. Patrick’s Day the two of us hit every bar in Lincoln… or at least it seemed that way at the time. I’ll remember the Christmas lights on his balcony, and his white Toyota and how we somehow got to talk about everything and nothing and encourage and support one another and learn and grow and become better people and leave Lincoln to go our own separate ways, and find love in our new towns and get married and get on with living. So much has changed since we first met, and that’s a gift. He is far away now, and celebrating birthdays is harder, but I’m glad he was born. I’m glad our paths put us together. I’m glad our hearts keep us together.
Happy Birthday, Andrew.
Happy Birthday, Andrew.
