Quoting the same man, again

And we all thought it was Emma obsessed with Milan Kundera.

“O lovers! Be careful in those dangerous first days! Once you’ve brought breakfast in bed you’ll have to bring it forever, unless you want to be accused of lovelessness and betrayal.” -Milan Kundera

This is particularly relevant to me because I am in my "dangerous first days" with Drew. I have to watch myself now. And I am. Almost neurotically. Also, I am reading a book for my Marriages and Familes class entitled False Love blahblahblah illusions about love are bad. Now, you can sort of understand the status of my mind right now.

INSANE.

Why in the world would I combine dangerous first days with a book called False Love? Who thinks this is a good idea? Not me. Not Milan. Not even Katz, probably.

And yet, here I am, assuming that every story in that book applies to me, that every thing I say is Significant and Vital.


ALSO, the sort of "History in the Making" feeling that is evident throughout the streets of Ann Arbor, and probably the rest of the US, is not helping me go through life in a very normal way.
