Erin is sharing her orange juice with me because I am sick. Yay! I love orange juice.

I extracted myself from my bed and took a shower, and when I came back, Matthew said, "What's with this 8:30 stuff?" I laughed and asked, "You don't like it?" He said, "I didn't know things existed this early in the morning."

Matthew told me his car has an engine like those on "Junkyard Wars": it makes a lot of noise and doesn't quite do what it's supposed to. I told him that was a prestigious connection; we both know Junkyard Wars is cool. On Saturday in Perkins he was talking about someone on that show making a trebuchet that flung washing machines.

My mom didn't buy candy or toys or anything for her children this Easter, but she did send me back with a bag of Hershey's Kisses that I thought she'd bought for herself. They have almonds in them. I used to like the almond Kisses and candy bars more than the regular ones, but now I think I enjoy the pure chocolate experience a bit more, but I still happily took the candy. And then forgot about it. And then remembered last night when Jenn, Matthew and I were watching either Cube 2: Hypercube (yes, it's as bad as it sounds, but fun too) or Star Wars (which we caught most of on TV). I couldn't get the bag open so of course they exploded everywhere when I did. "Want a Kiss?" I asked Matthew, offering him the bag. He said no. Jenn said, "What? It's your girlfriend! You bastard." (She's so punny.) He said, "Yes, but ... she has a cold now." (He ended up eating a bunch anyawy. And wadding up the wrappers in a little ball, and sticking it in my shirt.)

Jenn took a Kiss and soon after asked, "Do these have almonds in them?" I said they did. "Oh good," she said. "What, you were afraid you just ate something that wasn't supposed to be there?" I asked. "Yeah!" she said. I laughed. I should've said, "What, these are normal Hershey's Kisses--what are you talking about?"

At some point during our mandatory Pizza Hut lunch date with Katie and Josh (which was expanded to include Jenn and Darren this time), I found myself asking Josh if he'd technically proposed to Katie or not, and she said, "Well, when he started talking about 'our yard'--and how he wanted a turf yard 'when we got married,' I thought 'Oh, we're getting married. Okay.' "

"Or concrete," Josh said. "Or asphalt."

You forgot about one of the nice statements that I made about marraige; "I'll only marry somebody if it grants them citizenship."

I doubt I'd marry for that.
