I haven't blogged forever, so I guess everyone now has the right to call me a slacker. It was bound to happen. lol.
Anyway, nothing super important to write about, except this one little moment that made me think, "wow, i should blog about that."
We were at Enano's house about to watch 1408, and I was listening to this song on Morgan's iPod. It's called "It's Good To Be In Love" by Frou Frou. And it's just one of those songs that the first time I heard it, I instantly fell in love with. So anyway, I can't hear anything but this song, and it's AMAZING--one of those songs that makes you insanely glad to be alive and exactly where you are. And I look in the little piano room, and Enano's in the background with this huge smile, playing guitar, Hannah and Travis are in the doorway holding hands, and Morgan's just facing them, talking to them. And it was such an ordinary situation, but set to this song, it was like....art. I seriously could not look away. In my gallery of mental snapshots, this one is in a gold frame. Not because it was special or different in any way, but because it is the closest I've ever come to putting my finger on the simple, unconditional, good-freaking-times that follow us everywhere.
I thought about the last, like, four years and how many moments exactly like this we'd had. And how I've loved every one of them. Even the "boring" times when we did nothing at all, sometimes those were the best. And how maybe we'll have to be leaving this stuff soon... such a weird, melancholy, bittersweet feeling. In that moment, I realized how good it is to be exactly where I was, even if not forever. It's good to be in love. I do know that the day I move out, or on, or whatever it may be, that I will leave much wiser and happier and infused with these thousands of pointless, but infinitely important moments. All thanks to a song.
Love, Jennifer

that was a pretty good blog
what a good blog. I love simple moments. haha. i have had a moment like that. its actually a repeating moment. every time we sit in your room and play music, and we play our song, and i'm always sitting on the floor facing the lots of pictures on your bulliten boards. and it makes me think of every good time that we have had in the last 4 or 5 years or so. and it is fantasitc. and perfect. because at that moment, every time, i can never think of a bad moment that we have had with our group of friends. because there are none. this a is a ridiculously long comment. so i'll stop. :)
i love jeb.
