Pretend there's a cake here

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday, dear Ryan,
Happy Birthday to you!!!

I owe you a couple drinks. :) Have a great day, Ryan, and I'm sure we'll all welcome drunk dials from you.

My new roommates

Okay, they aren't nearly as cool as Taylor and Honie, and they don't make me laugh nearly as much, but they are pretty damn adorable.


Meet Dargan!!!!!!
We found this little guy at the White River Humane Society, and we fell in love with him. The lady there handed him to me, and he just cuddled up in my neck. I looked at Jill and said, "This guy's coming home with us." And the lady said, "Oh wait, take a look at his sister."

Meet Adelpha!!!!!!!

So we took them both. It took a while to figure their names out, but Dargan is Irish for "black-haired" and Adelpha is Greek for "beloved sister" and I think they sound cute together. They've been wrestling and chasing me and Jill and the millions of bugs that live in our basement, so we're having a blast. A couple of you know, I was supposed to go to Chicago this weekend to hang out with Aaron and Honie and Casey, but my loan for this semester, for some reason, got cancelled, so I didn't have the money to get up there, which is really a damn shame. However, I'll be up to visit the Chicago kids a couple times, I'm sure, and definitely that first weekend in March, when Taylor and Notorious (and Honie???) are flying in. If not, well, I'll just have to come to New York. :) I hope everyone had an AMAZING New Year's Eve.

And Ryan. I'm sure the local Posey County Police Department (or the PoCo PD, as we call 'em) would tremble at the amazing power of your mustache. I'll mail you a soybean when they're in season :)
