He is all stretched out on the Elf Bed, eyes shut and looking incredibly peaceful.  At first glance you&#8217;d think he was dead, the way he is laying.  Another oddity about him is his choice of sitting and sleeping positions.  It makes for amusing photos.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve no idea why, but I feel so . . . peaceful.  One would think I was running around into walls for all the anxiety that should be on my shoulders, but no, I&#8217;m sitting calmly, listening to the reception music CDs for potential mistakes and musing over a sleeping Renton.  Where are the nerves, the last-minute glitches, the lack of appetite??  Not that I&#8217;m complaining, mind.  Well, it would be nice not to have an appetite for a while, but other than that, all is well.  Which can make one nervous in and of itself, cause it could very well mean that I&#8217;m missing something; I&#8217;m not properly nervous enough.  But then I remember the immortal words from the Matrix, who took it from some other philosopher before that:  ignorance is bliss.  <\/p>\n<p>But why would I think that, that&#8217;s crazy, don&#8217;t I want to make sure every little insignificant detail is all worked out three times over, so I can be happy and &#8220;my day&#8221; won&#8217;t be ruined?  Hmm, yeah, I don&#8217;t wanna worry about all that stuff.  As long as I&#8217;m there, Steven&#8217;s there, I&#8217;m clothed, and there&#8217;s a dude there to marry us, I&#8217;m content.  Flabbergasted, but content.  <\/p>\n<p>Aaaack, now how come this blue wrapping paper doesn&#8217;t exactly match the bridesmaid&#8217;s dresses?!?!<\/p>\n<p>*I did set up an entry to post on the 23rd, though I should still be in Charleston.  Oh, I am such a crafty Carrie!
