eleven years in the making!!!

eleven years ago TODAY, mia & I were youngsters living it up in NYC!!
mia discovered the upcoming artist DIDO while at a record store's listening station (remember those?). She bought the cd & I insisted we listen to it on our ghettoblaster night and day & while we slept, which I'm certain she didn't love! we learned Dido would be playing at the bowry ballroom & we immediately bought tickets to see her! we locked down our standing space in the venue & waited for her future husband to show up out of thin air! soon enough a handsome young Brooklyn-ite befriended us, invited us to a party he was dj-ing & the rest is HISTORY!!!! happy eleven yearer!
ahhhhh the memories! sharing a mattress on the floor, attending bible study with JB-K, rock lobster the pigeon, fat andrew on the roof, handcuffs, being cool because we knew how to drive, pee alley, ranch 1 sluts, summer of sam, the english patient, dahli lama speech, talking in tongues, all the hot dog carts in NYC were stored under our apt, special k, broccoli pizza, "walking like a dog", almost being accosted by meanmarcello, driving the Staten Island ferry, Hamptons- the lady who thinks her dog is her reincarnated mom, Guggenheim museum regulars, perdiem, have you been saved?, tacos on a stick w/ green rice, dinner w/ ll cool j & babyface

The time goes by too quick, but when you have a baby it all slows down again. These girls shared a mattress but not in a normal way. They slept width wise so that half their bodies was always off the mattress and on the floor. There was a foldout couch in the next room too! Marcello wasn't that mean.
We need to go to Vibes again. I'm pretty sure that's the night Mia fell in love.
