Back from Iowa!
Dec. 1st, 2013 10:20 pmSpent US thanksgiving in Iowa visiting John's family.
Of course, I got this song stuck in my head on the way there, and it's been stuck there for days. Here's a youtube embed:
Let me tell you, it is a terribly awkward song to have in your head while hanging out with your boyfriend's parents, his brother, and his brother's fiancee.
So you can all be proud of me for not breaking out into excellent lines like "What is love/Where did it get me?/Whoever thought of love is no friend of mine."
I did not, however, manage to conceal my outright disgust at the diamond commercials on TV.
"But I'm sure you wouldn't object if someone bought you a diamond."
"Well, actually, given the dubious human rights practices of the diamond industry..."
Anyhow, had a lovely time in Iowa, but I am glad to be back home where I can sing songs that aren't entirely hot on the subject of love and not accidentally cause an international incident. ;)
That makes it sound like I spent all weekend trying to not be me, but that's totally not true. There was also moments like an entirely hilariously awesome whole family dinnertime conversation about fecal transplants. They are fun people. :)
