My favorite thing about the public transportation: The fact that it goes right by the upper windows of apartment buildings.
My old new favorite person: Dave, the poet. Doesn't he look arty? He took me to a cool pub where we had beer and dinner. He's thinking poetic thoughts.
New favorite activity: Throwing back a cold Old Style in a hip dive bar.
New favorite T-shirt: This pink one. I bought it the day before I left for the weekend. The flight attendant complimented me on the color. It cost $12.99.
My new bedtime: 3:30. Yes, a.m. These are the crazy people I was drinking and playing the name game with in their hotel room on Friday night. They are friends of the groom. What are their names? I can't remember. (But my best guess is: girl, Adam, Lance, Jamal) My new new favorite person: Lance (in the middle, above). He's a friend of the bride from Stanford. I blame him for the fact that I'm still tired, two days later.
My new favorite word: Ridiculously. As in, the wedding was ridiculously fun and emotional, everyone is ridiculously successful and ridiculously attractive. The toasts were all ridiculously eloquent, including Lance's. I stayed out ridiculously late one night, and only kind of late the next. I had to get up ridiculously early to make my plane.
My favorite pre-wedding chit-chat topic: The ridiculously liberal Salt Lake Mayor, Rocky Anderson. Also: kindergarten, day care, and how ridiculously easy it is to live where I live.
My one regret: I didn't give a toast. The others were just too good. I should have written one before I went. I was the only grad school/creative writing representative.
Final evaluation: A++
I had a ridiculously good time.

Looks ridiculously fun! Whose wedding was it anyway? We are having a ridiculously large amount of fun with our new puppy.....well chat soon.
Whoa! Weddings are ridiculous(ly)! Glad you had fun. Plus, the pic of you in your new pink shirt with turquoise earrings is gorgeous. Are you sure you were only the friend of the bride? Oh, that's right--you're already married.
um you seem to be having a ridiculous amount of fun while we are all reading student drafts.
