what a funny little day

so we have a new croucher here at the auberge matheny. her name is emily and she is so wonderfully candid and without inhibition. sarah, emily and i have stayed up way too late the past 2 nights over sharing about ourselves (mostly emily). i love conversations like that - all of those little insights into people who you know you like immediately. that's emily. just a fascinating mind and addictive mannerisms which i find completely soothing. have you ever really paid attention to a person's mannerisms and just felt like they could put you to sleep?

anyway, we went into paris today and i FINALLY met my roommate, caitlin. she was completely jet lagged and unable to focus at times but still able to keep up with our constant jabbering. that is a good indication that we will live well together because let's be honest - sometimes i cannot SHUT UP.

another great thing about emily is that she encourages me to take pictures of those little subtle things that i find so hilarious. that should explain the photos i put up in this blog. i love the kind of humor that jumps out at you from behind a rock and you realize that you've been walking by it for days and it was never funny until that very moment or with those exact people. today was full of moments like that. just giddy, stupid laughter.

an announcement: ladies and gentlemen, i miss brad like a sonofa b. i mean, of course i do but i have had so many instances today where i just wished he was with me to share in the giddiness. and there is no way i could ever possibly convey these moments over the phone. i just want to look at him (if the bum would install skype already...).

oh, tomorrow i'm auditioning for a choir in paris with sarah. the piece i chose was "gravity" by sara bareilles. it's a great song and such a moving message. i just hope i can convey the emotion of it with my own voice because, let's be real, that woman can sing anything. and on that note, i should be sleeping. i haven't had a normal night of sleep in days...weeks even. but i am writing to let you know that life is good. keep it real folks. stay classy.



ps - i KNOW that it means stamp. let's agree that it's funny and not judge. i'm immature.
