my friend jorden got married this weekend. i really do think that it is safe to say that i genuinely like most people. in fact, i have a hard time convincing myself to dislike people that should probably be loathed. and all i mean by that is, even though i like alot of people on a genuinely superficial level, i deeply care about a select few who receive all of my love and adoration. jorden is one of them. she hangs the moon. i met her while we were english majors at state, but conflicting religious/political/socioeconomic/etc beliefs rendered us inept from the magical friendship we have now. i eventually grew a mentality worth having around and am now capable of feeling like i've got something to offer her, too. she and i moved to oxford at the same time and started grad school together. she was wise and dropped out, but i chose to pursue the educational debt. anyway, she called me one day and said she heard that i had moved here, and since her boy lived here and everything too, she'd give it a try. so she did, and if anyone has made this town worth 2 years of my life, it has been her. we entertain each others thoughts and curiosities, and hold each other accountable to esteemed literary opinions and selections. so we all spent the weekend in the mountains, watching her and her equally fascinating fiancee share awkward moments and vows, and then partied at a level that only we know how. there was music and dancing. a hot tub. my dear friends. and lots of booze to complement it. her and her man are in paris now, and move to miami when they return. he's going to write books and stuff. and i'm going to visit asap.
