Welcome to Gaia! ::

OMG PK: Don't do that s**t to meeeeeeee. Now I totally want some of that action, but sadly the fiance is at work until like 3AM tomorrow morning and it's raaaaaaaining, so I can't walk to the gas station. Not that I would. I'm sick and refuse to get off the couch for anything less than subsistence or to pee. Or to take care of the (also sick) needy two year old, of course.

So... I am now totally, officially a wife, as of the 17th The ceremony was sooooo pretty and the reception was phenomenal. We have way too many leftovers than are humanly necessary, though. There is still a square of red velvet cake bigger than a ******** birthday cake. Not one bite of which I will eat because cake is nasty, unless it's lemon meringue or made out of a cookie. (I let the Lover pick what he wanted for the tiered cake, though because I figured I can make that one concession if he's going to give me whatever I want for the rest of our lives, anyway). biggrin

After the reception we got a fancy hotel room with a giant jacuzzi tub, and we invited some people back to play Cards Against Humanity until like 3AM when we kicked them all out so we could enjoy said fancy hotel amenities all by ourselves. The Lover brought me hot chocolate in the jacuzzi. It doesn't get any better than that. (Except when he wakes up before me in the morning and makes me coffee with the fancy Keurig coffee maker). Yeah... I think that's about all the details I can share. XD

We'll have pics from the photographer in about a month, she said, so I'll post a couple when we get them so you guys can see what everything looked like.

Congratulations to you PK annnnd to you as well VoC!
I'd love to see some pictures! 4laugh

Last two days gaia wouldn't let me log in to post?


wrap me in the world’s desires

we fall into bed like the aegean sea
drowning in visions of used-to-be's with sunburns
on our skin when we wake, again,
tomorrow, feeling hollow and laughing
but not knowing why.

and we end up climbing
back over the railings
looking for people—up and down in a subway town
where the bridges are holy ground
for suicide watchers with telescopes—
hoping no one saw the coward
step back.

because we learn that with six months worth of silence
dwelling in our throat, false mirth swelling
in our chest,
oh, senile women we’ll never be
with galaxies in our hearts and constellations
right beneath our fingertips;
there’s no ambrosia in our veins
to be invincible.

we said we’d touch stars
some day;
whilst young comparing ourselves to supernovas,
feeling bright and right and—

we’re black holes
and when we go down
we’ll make sure we take everything with us
because we spoke of genesis
but meant homicide.

I'm excited for GGW IX - this will be my first time participating.
Time to kick some written a** c:
