Big Agnes Says Aloha from Hawaii


An Overnight Internet Sensation
I’ve dranken too much and now I’m drunk. Oh, you didn’t think dranken was a word? Well it is. Where I come from. Which is Millet. In Millet, dranken is the past tense of drink, e.g., “I’ve dranken six glasses of wine and now I’m torqued.” Torqued being drunk, you see.
But am not going away because am drunk. Am going away because here is winter and Hawaii is not winter. Hawaii is not 40 below. Here was 40 below just two days ago. Also? Here? In December? Perpetual darkness. Is north here.
I was apposed to reply to Shannon’s cooking meme. Was very busy and now am drunk. Suffice it to say, I’m a vegetarian, have many vegetarian cookbooks. Or at least some vegetarian cookbooks. Shannon, I promise I’ll reply when I get back from being warm.
I’ll be back in a week. Am also going away to see U2 and Pearl Jam playing live. In the warm. That is not here. The warm that is.
Also? I leave tomorrow for the warm. And also? Haven’t packed yet. Got drunk instead.
I’ll see you all in a week. Or, I’ll blog you all in a week.
UPDATED TO ADD: Holy Mother of Jezebel my head hurts. Anyhoo, Schnozz kindly pointed out that in my drunken ramblings I revealed personal info. Luckily, I was too incoherent to reveal personal info that actually matters. Dear Internet Creepy Types: By stating that I am from Millet, I meant merely that that’s the backwater town where I was raised and learned words like “dranken” and “brung,” but no longer live because of, well, the backwater thing. If you want to stalk me (please don’t), you won’t find me in Millet.
UPDATED TO DELETE: Comments about work.
