'matt! bennett!

are you enjoying santa fe?

i wanna know what foreign country you lived in & because i realize there is a desperate need for more dastardly plans to come true, heh

Met him outside his great H’WEEN party. He was dressed like a woman so I was a little confused but still down. He is interested in things I want to committ my life to (sustainability and such) and every time I see him he has different hair.

WORTH DOING!

(right back atcha)

This man may be the first ever to be knighted, nay lorded, without ever gracing a throne.

I saw a picture of ms. k that was taken by a friend and associate and i fell in love with the image.

When my associate discovered my zest for the woman in the photograph, we were promptly introduced.

WORTH DOING!

heh

Matt and I were married at age 4. I still consider him the “love of my life”.

start 2005:
freshly separated from a badly ending relationship with Zoe – excited but walking like a toddler.

1:
get excited about permaculture/throw lots of sharing parties

2:
meet & fall in love with cordelia anne grady hall

3:
give up on politics (for the time being at least)

4:
spend the summer in new jersey

5:
create small business with friend zac & rake in dough (small home repairs, landscaping)

6:
attempt to renovate the Harwan Theatre while shooting the Ghoulstock Five Film

7:
Fail to renovate Harwan to town standards; Ghoulstock 5 is a surprisingly offbeat success

8:
Spend the next month fantasizing about Boston and Cordelia

9:
Move into apartment with Cordelia and friends from old house, plus Jen Sweeny!

10:
Start classes at BU, but do not start doing any work.

11:
Breakdown due to not doing any work (and not wanting to)

12:
Finally get into work & go ape about it (out of necessity, and because i was ready)

13:
Do well on Mid-terms, but don’t care, heh – an existential mood takes over, heh

14:
Have Halloween Party at FDR (my house/collective) and perform a play & songs I’d written (play w/Josh Boren) & am very happy to be surrounded by friends again

15:
I am okay with Cordelia starting to fall for our gal pal Sarah because there is honest open communication.

16:
Things are strained – I’m obviously already caring too much about microcosm & macrocosm stuff – focusing too much on Cordelia’s individual actions & freaking out aboot it, as well as on global/universal issues (though this presents less of a problem).

17:
Communication breakdown from Cordelia’s end. She starts withdrawing and won’t share difficult things without me asking. I become more frustrated with minute aspects about Cord & miss out on the big awesome picture, heh.

18:
I lean on Cord during finals & she leans back on me. We get through most finals, but a divergent moment comes upon us and we decide to split.

19:
I’m in the shaky aftermath of a rEaL break-up. Attempting to convert lover love into friendship love on the double. I seek out my good friend (& once flame, heh) Shannon to talk about everything and help get distance (and in the mean time get excited about a possible future relationship with Shannon [that sort’ve had been slowly bubbling up]).

20:
I return to NJ for winter break.

21:
I have difficultly feeling at home for the first week and a half and freak out about the Suburban/Urban differences – not to mention the inherent unsustainability of it all.

22:
My relationships with my brothers grow. Dave and I become good friends in addition to our good brothership, heh.

23:
My friendships with Gina and Chris Fullerton grow considerably. We have a blast making up and then recording music in the Bennett Basement, and crashing at diners every night.

24:
We throw a surprise party for Chris Fullerton and our friends Matt & Kim play music at it and stay overnight. I meet Rob from The Urxed and he, Matt, and Kim and I become (better) friends overnight, heh.

25:
I love my parents and my mom, Denise, is growing quite a bit (personally) and is opening up and relaxing and it is wonderful. My Dad is reading books now, :D!

26:
All of my friends baptize me into a new era (sorta for all of us). And it is incredible & brings us together.

27:
I’m scared to return to school because I know my NJ home will not feel the same when I return in May (for a bit). I find reasons to post-pone my trip home, but play it off as a requirement to see Dr. Quinn (which was in there, but not the SOLE reason, heh).

28:
I write too much about the end of the year because it jUsT happened. hehe

29:
I return to school a bit sad for what I left behind and very much excited for what is to come, :1.

30:
I’m “getting there” in regards to Cord, and am excited to build better friendships (cause I finally recognize the need for a wider base on my social pyramid, heh).

Start 2006:

i met ‘matt at ghoulstock winter oh four. he was enthusiastic and had a beard, two qualities i enjoy in any individual.
