HI! HI!! HOW ARE YOU GUYS?? OH how I have missed you! Have you missed me? Did you cry every day that I didn’t update you on every juicy detail of my fairly mundane life? Awww…sorries! Here’s what’s been going on:
My precious friend Emily got married this weekend, which is VERY strange and somewhat surreal. It hasn’t really sunk in to me yet, so it feels rather like they went to a great deal of trouble to play an elaborate and expensive joke on me. I probably won’t realize that it’s real until the first time she makes reference to the fact that she regularly has sex now. At which point I will simultaneously crap myself, drive off the road into a ditch and vomit the very non-vegan chocolate cake I ate at her rehearsal dinner.
But until then, I’m just going to live in denial.
The wedding was SO much fun. The ceremony itself was pretty simple, and I did my hair into a sort of 80’s prom do. Then we made some pictures before heading over to the John A. Walker Community Center (where I hadn’t been since senior prom, 1998) for a good two hours of incredibly sober spastic dancing.
So just to recap: 80’s prom hair + spastic dancing + WILKESBORO!!!!! = fun times had by me. I shall post photos as soon as I get some worthwhile ones. I didn’t take that many because my batt’ries were dying
OH! And my parents were there, which was great. They’re pretty fabulous, and I always enjoy seeing them. They got there Friday night in time to hit up the Wilkes Central basketball game, where they saw one Mr. Matthew Hagaman, who I’m told made mention, not once but twice (!), of how good I looked when he saw me at homecoming. To that, I have two responses:
- I know right? I looked way hott that night.
- It sounds to me like somebody’s harboring some feelings for me. Am I wrong?
As for the non-vegan chocolate cake, I’m quite certain it wasn’t the only thing I ate that wasn’t vegan. In fact, I don’t know how I’d do it if I were to live there. Our meal options at the rehearsal dinner were steak, steak or fish with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies, and when I asked for a veggie/potato plate, the woman looked at me as though I’d asked her to be the surrogate mother of my babies. It was a look of utter confusion unlike any I’d ever seen before, reminiscent of the scene in Everything is Illuminated when Elijah Wood asks for a meatless dish. If you haven’t seen this movie, please do so immediately. It’s spectacular.
Anyhoe, by the end of Friday night, I’d pretty much decided to relax on the veganism for the weekend and just enjoy my time there with Emily, so I had a delicious piece of chocolate cake, and I liked it. But now I’m back to normal, and my body is much happier about it.
Ok! My self-imposed 10:30 internet curfew is quickly approaching, so I’m out, but I am happy to be back with you all. I hope you missed me a little.

I wouldn’t read too much in to the comments from Matt. He was talking to your parents.
