lovely. simply lovely. AH I'm so EXCITED for this, my love!

And besides that, I miss you! I've got so much shit I've got to do and I would prefer it if I had more time for you. But not to worry! I think things will be calming down in the next week or so... it just seems like everything is happening at once.

Anywho, I'm rambling. This weekend we NEED to begin planning for our peace march!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!
