This paper contains facts. And this paper has the eighth highest circulation in the whole wide world. Right? Plenty of facts. “Pregnant man gives birth.” That’s a fact.
{This post inspired by the lovely Amy doing online business as: Just a Titch.}
FACT: Making the invitations for my sister’s Baby Shower, Our Family Is Huge Edition resulted in me officially becoming Extremely Excited for the upcoming Memorial Day festivities wherein I get to see my sister for four! days, and help throw two baby showers for her therein. I cannot even stand said excitement and have taken to making copious amounts of lists for packing and planning and baking and please someone make me sit still before I OD on baby shower-related happiness. Also, how cute are these? I’m verily smitten with them.
FACT: I crack myself up. Often for no reason at all, but specifically when Michael C. Hall paper cut-outs are involved. Exhibit: What I sent Sizz as part of her birthday package, after some perfectly timed inspiration from Jen:
{WARNING: Nerd tangent! WARNING: Nerd tangent!}
FACT: My love for everything Buffy being quite vocal, I can’t believe no one ever told me about the GAME CHANGING crossover episode on Angel (Season 1, episode 8: I Will Remember You; Netflix instant that ep, post hastey!**). It’s supposed to happen in between episode 8 and 9 of Buffy Season 4, and while episode 9 does reference Buffy going to LA to see Angel for “five minutes,” HI, THERE IS THIS WHOLE BIG THING THAT HAPPENS in the aforementioned Angel episode, that, even after seeing Season 4 of Buffy multiple times, I had NO IDEA happens because as I might have mentioned it’s on Angel and not on Buffy, and
FACT: Try as I might (and I’ve mightily tried) I just can’t get into Angel. Except for the aforementioned (and soon to be mentioned) amazing crossover episodes, because
FACT: Angel is no Buffy. And there’s no Xander and no Willow, and (the horror!) no Giles. And for reasons that make zero sense, I can’t watch Angel even pretend to have smooshy feelings for anyone but Buffy, even while I can watch Buffy love Riley and Spike***.
FACT: There’s also a second crazy crossover episode (again on Angel) toward the end of Season 1 (episode 19, I think), with both Faith and Buffy, called Sanctuary. It’s crazy. And pretty important to the overall narrative arc of Buffy, as Angel shows up in Season 4, episode 20 to directly apologize for what happens in Sanctuary.
FACT: Angel drives ME crazy, in an “I think I just want to stake your emo face” sort of way. Mostly because
FACT: I don’t understand why Angel and Buffy can’t just live happily ever after, and while we’re at it, Xander and Willow (or at least Willow and Oz), and also I have a huge crush on Giles and his open mic tendencies, the end.
FACT: I might be a little (overly, ahem) emotionally invested in Buffy. But it really is the best series of all time.
{End nerd tangent! End nerd tangent, hallelujah!}
FACT: May 4th marked the first official return of the mid-week PSU farmers market and it has been making me exceedingly happy ever since. Erin and I go every Wednesday and revel in the the fresh produce and cider and flowers, oh my! Not to mention the lovely (sometimes) sunlit midday stroll.
FACT: I have lovely and photogenic friends. Who like to wear stylish sunglasses.
(Ian, Jenelle, and their Zeke-a-saurus.)
FACT: Honeycrisp apples have overtaken Fuji and Braeburn for the Top Apple spot in my fruit-loving heart.
FACT: Orchids are gorgeous. Especially purple orchids that are a gift from coworkers as a way of saying, “Hi! Look how pretty we are! Also: We appreciate you.”
FACT: This perpetually in-my-face Portland rain is making me want to cry. I’m no rain wimp, and I will herein pledge my undying love to the Pacific Northwest, but Great Odin’s Raven, this spring has been less “Don’t forget your sunglasses!” and more “Quick, run for cover BEFORE WE ALL DROWN.”
FACT: I’m so ready for summer, and swimming, and sunburns, and SHARP TOOTH! SUNSHINE, it’s not even funny. Well, it might actually be a little funny. If you consider laughing at people’s perpetual soggy hair and faces and everyday places amusing. #fakeguilttrips
FACT: I quote movies, a lot. Also: This post sort of grew exponentially longer than I anticipated. Whoops.

*Twenty gold stars for the first person who knows from which movie this post title comes. Hint: It’s amazing. And has nothing to do with vampires or vampire slayers or forbidden love doomed from the start because the man you fall in love with happens to be a brooding masochistic soul-y undead who is hell bent on a lonely path of redemption, and did we mention tall dark and handsome?
**Buffy quote (the “post hastey” part, that is). I couldn’t stop myself.
