Dearest EH,

EH is an individual: part hippy, part grunge, part Broadway, part artist, and a tiny part Midwest. I have a love/hate relationship with her adventurous spirit, though. I love this quality in her when it comes to dancing without inhibitions with me at street dances or raiding her mom's fridge for the homeless man walking around the lake or participating in the legendary "operation: black triangle". I am not so fond of her adventurous spirit, however, when it takes her away from me like 6 years ago to NYC and now, Paris. I say, "What's so great about seeing the world, anyway?"

The thing I love most about my friendship with EH is that months can go by without talking yet one phone call puts us back where we left off. She doesn't shower regularly and this may be another reason we get along so well.

Yesterday was her birthday in all the hustle and bustle of Easter egg hunts and explaining to my family for the fourteenth time what ESL stands for, I didn't get a chance to wish her a Happy Birthday (via blog). So here it is, a date late but just as sincere..

Happy Birthday EH! I love you and miss you terribly.

Let's meet up and eat an apple.

"It's three o'clock on a winter morning, foggy, the roads slick with ice. You turn in the bed, away from the man and his thick arms, his muscled chest, the wrists powerful from days spent with hammers and saws. You open your eyes and begin to calculate each of the moves it would take to get you out of here: the flip of he blankets, the swing of your legs onto the floor, the search for your clothes crumpled on the chair by the desk, gathering those clothes in your arms and tiptoeing over the creaking planks to pull them on in the other room--the boyfriend muttering from his side of the bed, or not making a sound, his eyes tightly closed, his head twisted away. And then the search for your purse, your shoes, your keys, your coat, standing with all these things by the doorway, trying to decide whether or not to say good night... ...Just the thought of it exhausts you, and when you contemplate even the first of these moves--the turning back of the covers--you realize the imp
