Summer (None of that 500 days crap)

Sweetie darlings,

That dapper darling, Ms. A, supplied you with a list of things she did this summer. Naturally, due to my close proximity to her, a lot of the things she did I did with her. What a big effing surprise. Anyways, to take a leaf from her book, here were my highlights of the summer (in no particular order).

1. Working 40+ hours a week at an organization that deals with very serious and very “critical” things. Thrilling, I know. Alas, one has to pay the rent somehow.
2. Seeing the glory of Rupaul in person.
3. Going white-water rafting in WV. It really was, in the words of John Denver, “almost heaven.”
4. Going out at 2:30 AM with Allie and D-darling for a photo session in the District.
5. Getting my butt back in shape. I’m going to attempt to run a half marathon.
6. Going to Sticky Rice one Wednesday night and getting featured on the Travel Channel for an upcoming special on DC bars.
7. Hanging out with folks from the Nylon tour one night.
8. Binging on Georgetown cupcakes far too often with B, my partner in crime.
9. Seeing Metric for the 2nd time with my bff and fellow editrix, Ms. A.
10. Having Emily Haines grab my hand.
11. Working at a venue as an intern. It really is THAT much fun.
12. Pulling my best Bianca Jagger impersonation at various dance parties.
13. Reconnecting with old friends and old mentors.
14. Entertaining my cousin and uncle by doing all that touristy mumbo jumbo.
15. Seeing Sonic Youth. Yesssssss.
16. Hauling myself to countless lectures at Brookings and crap.
17. Finally going to the Phillips.
18. Getting my picture taken by some random DC fashion blogger one day.
19. Doing it up at Busboys and Poets.
20. “Serious” conversation with friends from the past and present.

While this is a pretty comprehensive list, there are some things a girl just can’t reveal to the general public. Not that any of you are stalkers, but one can never be too careful.

Also, Allie needs to give me my copy of “Brideshead Revisited”. LE SIGH.

Ex oh ex oh,

A.
