Influential Secerts
Elaine did this because of something she saw on Post Secret. So I thought I'd give it a try. It was a bit hard to come up with 20 people though. Apparently it takes a lot for me to be influenced.
Go ahead, guess who they are!
The PostSecret Challange:
Tell 20 influential others what they mean to you. Don't use names or identifiers, be honest, and write what comes to your heart.
1. You taught me the the best conversations happen while walking around town late at night. I miss all the stupid things we used to talk about. And the deep things too. I sometimes wonder how we went from that to nothing. I just hope you're happy.
2. Most days I think of how easy it was to be your friend, to find things we had in common. I'll always remember those few months when we were best friends, because we both needed one another. But sometimes, seeing the real you makes me wonder how much of it was true.
3. I don't think I will ever forgive you but I don't dwell on your mistakes anymore.
4. We should have just had sex.
5. This has to be short or I'll go on forever, because it's you. I don't think I could live without you. You understand everything about me, which is freaky, and awesome. You're the reason I believe in forever. I always know if things don't work out the way I plan, you'll be there to help me start a commune.
6. I can't begin to explain how much I love you. I don't even have to question if it's forever.
7. There have been things that have made it impossible to ever really trust you. But I think you see a lot of truth in me that I don't always understand.
8. You've made me angry enough to wish death upon another. I hate you for that most of all.
9. You're the strongest woman I know. Even if I don't always agree with you, I'll always love and support you.
10. You are a fantastic young woman. You think I taught you a lot, but you helped me learn as well. And I can't even begin to tell you how much I wish we could still see each other every day.
11. We've grown up together and that's given you all kinds of insights into my soul. And that's never scared me, even though it might with others. You're so talented and beautiful. I know we'll grow old together.
12. You go from being so easy to talk to then to impossible more than anyone else I know.
13. You should have told me earlier I was meant to be a writer. I know you knew it all along.
14. I know you'll beat up any guy that breaks my heart.
15. You were always the father figure we needed growing up. I always feel protected around you.
16. I want everyone else to understand what a great person you are.
17. I will never understand your political views and you'll probably always drive me a little bit crazy. I sometimes think it'd be easier to just cut you out of my life. But we both know that will never happen. I know you will always be there to take care of me, even if I try to fuck it up.
18. I don't think I've done enough to protect you, or that I can ever show you how much I love you.
19. I could almost cry when I think about not inviting you to my wedding, but I know I could not handle the family drama that would cause.
20. I'll never understand why you didn't fight harder.
Go ahead, guess who they are!

Julie's Visit
Julie's gone and it's a sad day in Pasadena. But we had a great time exploring Maryland together. Here's a photo summary:
Thursday-pick up and dinner at DuClaws. Julie's introduction to Misfit Red, the best beer in Maryland.
Friday-A lot of driving around Baltimore, seeing people in costumes going to/from the Anime convention. Lunch by UB so she could see the place. Then a trip to Poe's grave where we learned about all the Irish merchants who helped make the city great.
Saturday: A trip to the wineries of Maryland. We chose to go to the Frederick Wine Trail as it was fairly close (only an hour away). We actually only went to two of the six wines on the trail, but I'm sure I'll go back to the others another day. We started with Elk Run where I bought a bottle of their Riesling. Then it was down the road to Loew Vineyards where I got the Country Classic and a bottle of the Blueberry for Julie and I to share. I had to stop myself from getting the raspberry as well. It would indeed be fantastic with chocolate. I think Loew was the better of the two. A more friendly tasting, and more wines I liked.
That night we went to see Mama Mia and then enjoyed our Blueberry wine.
Sunday: We went down to Annapolis. Walked around and saw boats. Ate ice cream. Forced Julie to eat crab dip and crab cakes. She's not a seafood fan, but she tried them both. Yay! As we were walking to the car there was a downpour complete with hail. And we made the mistake of taking 50 home, even though we knew better, and got stuck in the traffic from the Bay Bridge accident. But we only had 1.2 miles to go, so it wasn't too terrible.
Julie liked this sign in Annapolis. And it's fitting as we had to say goodbye last night. Sad :(
