Happy two year, love
…You alone are the sources of my grief,
you alone can grant the grace of consolation.
You alone have the power to make me sad,
to make me happy or to console me…
And the greater irony is that my love
then turned to such insanity
that the one thing it desired above all else
was the one thing it put irrevocably beyond its reach
in that one instant when, at your command,
I changed my habit along with my heart
to show that my body along with my heart
belonged only to you.
I never wanted anything in you
but you alone,
nothing of what you have
but you yourself,
never a marriage, never a dowry,
never any pleasure, any purpose of my own—
as you well know—
but only yours.

Happy 2 years, baby!
24 days until we are MARRIED. And then we will have a new anniversary and it will be back to the beginning, right? Kind of, I guess. I’m not entirely sure how to go about this, because obviously this anniversary is a minimal one but I want to let you know that I remember how we got started.
Granted, us getting started involved me hitting on your best friend and me breaking my arm, so perhaps we didn’t have the most auspicious start, but whatever, it makes for funny stories, right? Living with you, as difficult as it has been, has been the best time of my life. And it will only get better.
So I just wanted to remind you that I love you and that the last year has been magical. Really. Happy two year anniversary, darling. You make me happy.
Love,
Megan
ps. I promise a better letter on our wedding day, J

Marriage
About to go on a marriage retreat.
Marr-i-age.
I hope it's fun
Because I really REALLY feel like it's gonna be catholic camp all over again, minus the random bouts of either homophobia or homosexuality. I've had it both ways and I would really like a lack of drama in my life, at least via other girls.
I want to spend time with Mike.
I want to laugh and meet other friendly couples.
I want to talk about the hard stuff and become a stronger couple.
I want to get married in two months and not feel so goddamn nervous about everything in my life.
New stuff.

New Home
New home.
New place.
Hard to adjust.
But-
I smile more.
I laugh more.
Arguing is better.
It's a complete mess
But we have been so blessed, even with the tons and TONS of crap that's here because of three people moving in.
More later, I promise.
But first, long letter to a friend, if I have the time tonight. And then the blog. Because friends first, obviously.

Favorite movies.
So, my favorite movie.
I think I have three.
Serenity.
V for Vendetta
The Crow
I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to discuss all three of these so here goes.
To start with, though, I'd like to say that I like all of these somewhat equally. There are obviously different qualities that I like about each of them, HOWEVER, each holds a very large place in my heart for various reasons.
I'm going to start with Serenity.

I wasn't around when the Serenity Firefly craze hit. My guess would be at that point, I was busy hating myself in middle school. However, upon watching this movie with my dad around, I discovered a vast and profound love for space cowboys. There's a large place in my heart for this show and this movie. Honestly, I love this whole show, this whole idea so much that I can only describe my various loves for it in words. Jayne. Canton. Mal. Inara. River. Book. Kaylee. Simon.
In any case, I deeply love this show, the characters and the ship. Also, Nathan Fillion. I'll be loving this show and movie until the day I die and I'll never stop sharing it with people.
Creepy fangirl moment aside though, I present you with favorite movie numero dos.

This movie blows. My. mind. Every time I watch it, I find something new in it. I cry, I laugh. Mostly I cry, but the intense detail shown, especially in the dialogue is just wonderful. I love the message, I love how pretty it is, but I really just love V. Who is Evey. I loved all the nuances. I love the epic pain and epic love and how to me, it is about patriotism in an individual way.
I don't even have the words, but it is wonderous, wonderful and painful. These posts are killing me. I gotta start doing better.
