stevens fever

Full disclosure:  Dahlya and I are obsessed with this man:

Can you blame us?

We just had a conversation that went a little like this:

Me: (after watching this) Hottieee.  WHY IS HE TWICE OUR AGE?!?!

Dahlya: WHY ISN'T HE MARRIED TO US?!

Me: Life is cruel.  At least I get to hear his voice every time my phone rings...because he calls me all the time.

Dahlya: I feel like I should rename everyone in my contacts "Sufjan" so that when I look at who's calling it will always be him.

Me: I don't know how I'm ever going to find someone to fill the hole Sufjan has left in my heart.

Dahlya: "Dear Sufjan, We both have unusual names, hippie parents, play the banjo, and own a yellow visor.  Please marry me?"  That is my proposal to him.

Me: Man, we are crazy fangirls.  I think we have Stevens Fever.

Dahlya:  YES! WE DO!

Me:  But sooo much more acceptable.

Let's face it--we both frequently wear hats, can knit (I just googled "sufjan stevens knitting" to verify this and read that he taught knitting to the blind in his spare time.  Are there no limits to the love I can have for this man?), and have brown hair... We are obviously made for eachother.  Now please half your age and fall in love with me.  Cool, thanks!
