"one heart, me and you"

so i sincerely apologize for not really responding to people's comments in ages, so this entry is dedicated to just that... because i love you guys so much and i really do look forward to hearing from everyone... (and this is in chronological order from people who wrote to me long ago to most current)

jessi: you should see my hair now... definitely needs a trim, but i think i'll let it go a bit longer because i'm not really going out in public anyway... the only people who know it's hilarious are the throssells and all these damn sheep they have. anyway. i haven't heard from you in a while, what's new? miss you.

stella: i just wrote you an email, so nothing new has happened in the last 3 seconds. but i love you.

steve: you are hilarious. i love your comments and i love what you wrote to me on facebook... that's a keeper. i heard you went kayaking. how was that? are the puppies still adorable? and how did finals end up? happy winter break... piers was using the chain saw today and it smelled of gas and reminded me of a snowblower and i thus thought of winter and christmas... mmm. oh and i know you look sexy with a beard. i hope you still have it to keep you warm. and who did you go climbing with? this comment to you has really turned into an interrogation... hehe. i love you bunches.

jay c: i'm watching the weed spray stuff... and the dip chemicals. don't you worry. anyway i hope the climbing is still going well and you are staying warm and driving safe (because i remember you had a bit of a ride to the gym)

caitlin: i'm so excited that you're working at the gym. how do you like it so far? i hope those kids are being good at the parties. holy crap i am so excited for your trip, too! ian said it was coming up on the 18? i might have remembered the date wrong, but either way, it's soon and you'll have so much fun. stay safe and tell me how it goes. i miss you a bunch. love love love.

nancy pants: i just talked to you on the phone... so here's some random stuff: dunedin is pronounces duh-nee-din, so it's probably not elvish. and you'll get to cut my hair/advise me on what to do with it when you get here. um that's all i can think about. we tried shooting a cat last night but missed. i thought of you. it was hilarious. and the art show thing is still bad ass.

britt-knee: i love the way you wrote out your name. it's amazing. better than nan-c. mabye. also i'm glad you have an overly jolly man friend. i need to find one of those... just for the holiday spirit. are you done with school yet? if not, good luck with exams and such. i've been thinking of you a lot with regards to missing you and thinking about planning my trip to australia... keep it real and keep your hair as sweet as ever (i haven't even seen your head lately, but i imagine it's really hot as per usual)

jordan: you're still the craziest person i know. but that's a good thing. i'll try to teach you some more things i know, but it might have to be in the form of a talk when i get home. i'm much better with speaking than writing. as you know. as for women and backpacking... i don't know... some girls really mean that and some are just trying to sound cool or they're hitting on you. and some, like myself, prefer rock climbing. kiwis are more laid back than any other group of people from any other place i've been... even more laid back than the alaskans. but it's a lot of hard back breaking work, too. i am impressed daily with the pure strength and intelligence of every member of the family i'm living with. farming is hard and i'm not weak... they make me look like a child.

jay: you know... everything has it's time. you can still adventure around the world when you've finished everything in chicago. but it is really nice here. i haven't been climbing much, though... which needs to change. have you been to the red lately? have fun at red rocks! be safe and send that 20 pitch climb. it sounds totally bad ass!!!!!!

ok i think that's it. happy holiday season everyone. i'll be in touch again soon.

i love you.
