goin to the chapel of looooooove

so things have been a little hectic what with the adding of classes attending of classes gettting out of bed to go to classes and staying in bed reading for classes...
having a literal mountain of things to read, coming off a crazy weekend with that boring fucker martin rivas in prep for my first essay test i find myself coming down with a cold and unable to wake even after the second alarm goes off (i set alarmclock for 7.30 and my phone beeps in incrementally louder at 8) i blew off my first class today figuring fuck it i didnt do the reading anyway..
the new budget proceeds apace despite purchase of a darling new green jacket, it is starting to really feel like fall here so i felt this purchase justified...

but the real news is that my roomate lesha is planning on marrying her chilean boyfriend felipe...also known as the monkey...

let me just say a little about this. these two have been inseperable since the day they met, and spent the summer together while the chick and i took off for parts unknown...
under normal circumstances this would lead to a possibly serious relationship, not a marriage...but the looming spectre of our return to california has prompted what seems like a somewhat wacky decision to get married so that the monkey can accompany lesh back to california...
anybody else had told me this and i woulda said im sorry your planning on what again???
but the other factor is that lesh is very below the radar, shes very calm and resolute in her daily life and not at all prone to drama or dramatic decisions, so when she tells me she wants to marry her monkey despite a few complications within the relationship which i am not at liberty to discuss...well i just gotta support her and start planning the wedding

because she wants to get married in our house, in our living room to be precise and the ash and i have been brainstorming color schemes (a cool violet purple and soft chaparral green) lots and lots of flowers...candles...tulle...and we will be removing the furniture from our bedrooms to install a dj, opening the back patio for food and holding the ceremony in the living room which will also be emptied of its rightful furnishings and filled with folding chairs....

so while there are some doubts i think in everyones mind about the speed with which this plan was hatched, we were informed of monkey is coming back home with me upon our return from vacation, and were getting married followed soon after...but now we have a date which is rapidly approaching and the wedding planners are getting a little anxious about such things as what we will wear and bachelorette parties, a lingering doubt remains in my mind as to the wisdom of this match, not based on how happy and good for each other my little monkey pair so clearly is, but on the speed with which everything is being planned...yet my knowledge of the lesh calms many of my fears for her imminent union knowing as i do just how chill and self assured she is convinces me that if she is convinced this is the right thing to do...i have no choice but to follow suite...

in other news, martin rivas and i have parted ways following the quiz and i have returned to the lovin fuzzy arms of my teddy, sal...

well i have to go read a shit ton of crap if i hope to survive...more news later..
