An (apparently uninformed) music conoisseur once told me that Unwritten Law's "Cailin," which up to that point had been my favorite romantic rock song ever, was written about the lead singer's daughter. And I believed her...until a couple of months ago. Yeah, if you're trying to make up some clever interpretation of a song to pass off as truth, that wasn't such a bad one--for most of the song, it works. But after about three years of pushing aside that song for that reason (after all, it's just creepy relating lyrics meant for a little 6-yr old girl to my own love life), when I finally listened to it again, I realized it couldn't be true, because of these crucial words:
"I'll be alright / But I, I need you close / Please stay tonight / As long as you're here / Just stay near / We'll be alright, yeah alright"
So the song has now been reinstated as the most romantic rock song ever made.
And it's sort of just in time, seeing as me and Aaron are starting the long-distance thing again--he's going to L.A. for an internship with Warner Brothers, and I'm staying in Austin, getting an apartment and finishing off my last year at UT.

Jennifer's Room Next Year at her New Apartment:
.

Ten things I'm going to have at the apt:
1. Aaron's bed to sleep in
2. A new boxer puppy/dog
3. Foamy hand soap
4. A towel next to the bathroom sink and matches next to the toilet to remind me of Jimmy and Aaron's place
5. Posters: my Phish poster (not bc I like the band, but bc I like the picture), my NY Poet's Walk picture, and maybe, just maybe that black and white poster of the two girls wearing white tank tops and underwear...I'm not sure.
6. Ingredients for grilled cheese sandwiches
7. The Pottery Barn cereal bowls (easily the most barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen items I own, and I love them...it's funny but if you go back about a year or six months in the blog, I talk about wanting these bowls, and I did finally get them as a present from Aaron)
8. My make-up and other various girl things in pie tins like I had them for most of last semester in the dorms
9. My desk from when I was a little kid
10. The astronaut (or shall I say cosmonaut--after all the guy looks a little Russian) pez dispenser magnet I stole from a random locker in the Communications building one late night painting sets at the studios.

Alright, I'm signing off... but first,
Books I've read:
1. Afternoon of the Elves by Janet Taylor Lisle
2. Insomnia by Stephen King

And also, Happy 24th, Aaron...5 years and 11 months. I love you. ;-*

Haha sorry you other people who I'm sure are cringing in protest of this public display of affection.
