Not forgotten

It makes me so happy to read that someone else won't throw their old phone away because it has a text message from Polly. That is why I won't get rid of my old phone. A text from Polly telling me about one of her stand-up comedy group shows. She was inviting me and even though it was last minute, I was there. She was so funny and the audience was roaring with laughter every time she did something up on stage. I've been dreaming of Polly for the past 3 nights. It's always good to see her even if only in my dreams. And in my dreams, she is always laughing, smiling and being a goofball.

Movies and such

Hey Polly girl. Been thinking about you today. So many things I want to tell you and so many new songs to play you.
I was remembering all of the movies we went to in Los Angeles and I was thinking about the last film we ever saw together. It was here in Portland at the Laurelhurst Theater. We saw "The Darjeeling Limited" and you loved it so much. First you marveled that the theater sold beer and wine (such a cool thing Portland does). When the movie ended you looked at me very seriously and said "That is the kind of role I want to get, in exactly that kind of smart, witty, poignant film". Polly, you would have been perfect for films like that. I know you would have gotten those roles soon. You were doing so well with your acting and the comedy-workshops you were doing.
Miss you, as always- k

Merry Christmas Polly

Was looking at an old hard drive and found these pictures of Polly. Made me so happy at first to see her again, and then so sad because I miss her so much. I love the one of her at the beach. We used to have the bonfires with all of our close friends every month or so. Such good memories.
