Fell in Love at 22

Well, not me. I fell in love at 19, but I’m only 22 once and today’s three years of Cabycammy, so here’s a pretty song about growing old together.

Yeah, three years! I wrote some rambles and stories for her, and she redrew the tree pic that tipped us over the edge in the first place, along with totally overhauling the Cammy Shrine on her site (gosh it’s gay). Was hoping to have finished another picture for her for the occasion too, but that’s alright. Saint Dwynwen’s is on the 25th and she has some stuff to finish too, so we’re just gonna have a second holiday then >w>

I’m still planning on shuttering the Scratchpad at the end of the Rediscovering pile, but I’m hard at work also giving it a real strong sendoff. I’ve got posts to make about a ton of favorite Scratchpad topics: PS2 hacking, MP3.com, obscure indie music, and I think one more essay in me. I’ll be doing one apiece in between Rediscoverings. The next one, I’m hoping to have done by the end of the week, and there’s three three left after this. Looking at mid-February as the end of it all.

A little rebirth happening right now, my friends. For me, for the bulb, for my love, for my life. For now though, I’m gonna go play Stardew with my girl. I noticed we played it on our last two anniversaries and it’s a tradition I wanna keep up!

Fell in love at 22
With a girl that’s close to you
Find a job and find a life
No more long days running wild

With your girl and family too
Playing card games in the room

This is our life
Our old times
This is our life
Our old times

Now that John is 42
With a family like you
With a job that led him down
Don’t you know I led him ’round?

This is our life
Our old times
This is our life
Our old times
