the thing that makes me happy is this: at 2:30 in the afternoon, getting a phone call from a friend in colorado, and her saying to me "hey, we are coming tonight, can a few of us stay with you?"

and then it makes me happy that i get to stay at the hahn's all night and wait for them. get to go to chipotle with my mom and two brothers. get to forever 21 it up with emma, and sit in a hot tub breathing in dirty air chemicals. and it always makes me happy when i get to eat dairy queen, or when i see a friend's little brother wearing a jersey that says 'evenson'. how we pulled that off, i don't know.

and i still manage to be happy when 11 comes, and emma goes off to bed, and the girls go down to the basement to drink rum. i don't even mind what's left: standing in the kitchen and talking to philip about the Bible. that is always an interesting part of my life. also, sometimes free cardigans come out of it.


i get even happier when we watch flight of the conchords, and i remember how i always did want to marry bret. truth is, i still would, because dude has a good beard.

Jesus is real good to me.
