Snowpacolypse: A Collection of Reflections
Dear friends,
I am sitting here at home, the snow has been falling for hours now and I had to sleep in the living room so that I didn't meet my icy death via tree branch through the bedroom window. I've been home for...a ridiculously long time, like going in 2 weeks, and I still haven't gotten into the groove of being home. I was not ready to come home for Christmas break, but I decided to come to terms with it and make the best of it. I had all these plans for books I wanted to read, scarves I wanted to knit and cookies I wanted to bake, but since being home, I've pretty much done nothing but drive and watch TV and movies. I want to die. For some reason, I am incapable of doing anything remotely productive or creative. I feel kind of brain dead. Ugg.
Anyway, I was delighted to see all the unread posts waiting for me when I visited le blog today!! I liked everybody's end of the term reflections, and wanted to chime in with my own cheesy thoughts. I can't believe I've finished my first quarter at Seattle U. It seems unreal that we've already spent a whole term apart. It's hard for me to put into words all of what I'm feeling... but mostly, I just want to say that you guys forever have a great big spot in my life (I was going to say heart, but then I kind of wanted to kill myself for being so cheesy). I was telling my mom the other day that it felt like you all should have been here when I came home for Christmas break. Like, last year, it was kind of fun to reunite with high school friends, and I wanted that same thing, but with you guys. Now my high school friends are twice removed. It's weird. I can't explain or even understand a lot of what I'm feeling about it. I need one of those books, like "What's Happening to my Body" except "What the Fuck is Happening to my Fucking Brain" hahaha. Umm anyway.
It's strange to me that last year was only a year and that I have been away for almost as long as we were together. Does that make sense? Basically, last year made a giant and irreversible impression on the entire rest of my life. I experienced, learned and grew so much with you guys. Everything now feels a little less magical, less sugar coated and more grown up. I don't think anything will ever come close to what it's like that first year living away from home, and basically I guess I just want to say that I am so happy that it was with you guys in San Francisco. I feel like you are my family and that I have a home in San Francisco, which is weird after only a year there. I did a lot of growing up with you guys in that city, and nothing can ever change that or rival that experience. I actually teared up a little when I was reading your posts (might be because I'm going fucking nuts stranded in this house). I miss you guys everyday (not an exxageration) but I also feel good about the decisions I've made, even if they suck. It's a weird little emotional battle that goes on inside of that I don't think can ever be resolved, but I guess that's just a part of growing up.
That was kind of just a very emotional stream of consciousness. Sawwwwy. I can't wait to see you in January!!!! I hope your breaks are better than mine :)
Love and Snowflakes,

Hey you guys!
It always amazes me how different my life in Helena is from my life in San Fran. I have really enjoyed seeing all my friends (although I haven't seen some of my favorite people yet) and it is nice to be in a house again. I am also trying really hard to pursue my love interest, so wish me luck.
When I left Helena in the summer I was fleeing from drama, so coming home was a bit nerve racking. I left a lot of unresolved problems here and I was not sure how coming home to those mistakes and misunderstandings would be. But so far it has been fine. I sort of hung out last night with a friend of mine that was involved in all the drama of last summer. It seemed fine. I couldn't tell if he hated me or was fine with everything (you can never tell with him), but it didn't seem too awkward (at least not to me) and it was all civil. I hope I am resolving some of the problems that I fled from this summer. I'm trying really hard to be less passive....it is a slow process ;)
Ok, one more heavy subject and then I promise that I'll talk about happy things. I just found out that one of my best friends who is like a sister to me ended up in the hospital today. We hung out all yesterday and she seemed fine, but today apparently she got really sick. I don't think they know what is going on yet....and neither her nor her husband have insurance. So it is a crappy situation. If you believe in a higher power would you pray for her? Regardless of whether there is or is not a god, I don't think a prayer or good thoughts could cause harm.
Ok! Let me talk about a not so heavy subject! Weather. It is really ccoolldd here. Like -17ish cold. Yeah. Cold. I think that it is supposed to get in the 20s on Monday!! Warmth! Hahahaha. I am just so happy that I'm not driving my car that has no heat.
I miss you guys so much. And I hope home is treating everyone as well as it is treating me. Love you.

Home for the Holidays
Yay, so I made it home. Not going to lie, there were times when I thought it wouldn't happen. I think my super shuttle driver was kind of falling asleep on the freeway (ya that's a great feeling) cuz he kept kinda swerving and doing the thing where you blink but take a while to reopen your eyes. But anyways, he somehow got me to the airport without any of us dying. Then there were of course the luggage lines, security lines, and plane delays, but really they weren't too bad, and they were nothing compared to LA traffic. It took us like an hour longer than normal to get to sb. but anyways, now I'm home.
It's weird after not being home in so long how things have changed. It was dark when we got here so I haven't really been able to look around outside of the house, but i guess the garden is done now. oh and also my parents rearranged the beds so now my bed is the same size as the love bed- but all to myself! :-0 oh and we have a working fireplace so thats pretty great. and for the first time in my life my parents did the xmas decorations without me.
but some things are the same. they brought up the 'new economy' twice before we even left the airport, and my mom's already brought up the multitutde of internships i can get in sf over the summer. UGGGGHHHHH i've decided i'm going to try to keep track of how many times a day they mention the 'new economy' while i'm home. i'm estimating an average of at least 5.
anyways, i think that is jsut about all for now. i miss all ya'll xoxo & air licks

Airport Reflections
Ahhhhh! I will be in snowy Montana in less than 6 hours! Even though I'm sitting in the airport next to Kailey, the fact that I won't be in The City tomorrow hasn't hit me. I could say a lot about how quickly the semester has passed and how San Fran is my home now, but I think Brice did a really good job of that in the post below, so I'll spare you guys.
I can't believe that Christmas is in 8 days. I can't seem to get into the Christmas season when I'm in San Francisco and there are still flowers blooming. I have a feeling Montana will fix that for me. If you ever want to check up on me in MT just take a look at this webcam. You could even call me before hand and I could go stand in front of the cam! How cool would that be??? Yup, pretty darn awesome.
I miss my San Framily (haha...ha.......) already and I will be thinking of you guys while I freeze to death! Muah!

Christmas Break!
Dearest Friends,
What the heck happened!? How are we at Christmas break! I am currently sitting here at the Oakland International airport, three hours before my flight, (feeling not so hot :( but also :)) reflecting on this semester. I would just like to say that I am so thankful for my group of friends at USF. You guys are a truly amazing support system and I know that I would not be able to get through all the crappy parts of college without you guys, and the fun times would not be as fun without you,so thanks. I am going to spare us all yet another verbal explosion of nerves and skip talking about how freaked out I am that we're almost half done with college (ok sorry, I had to bring it up a little bit). I am very excited to have nothing to do during Christmas break, but way more excited to come back early and chillax in the city! wahoo. Anyway, here are somethings I think we should do for next year/semester:
1. Rickshaw Stop (ok, I made a promise...ahhh)
2. Tie-Dye!!
3. Scavanger Hunt
4. Explore the city more
5. Eat at Ikes/ Velo Rouges Cafe everyday
6. Random Dance parties on campus
7. More Bonfires
That's all I can think of for now. Let me know if you have any other ideas!
Love,
Kailey
p.s. They are currently playing a melodic version of Christmas in the Northwest! Awesome!

I feel like a stripper
AHHHHH so I'm in the airport right now getting ready to fly home (this is Brice by the way), and I can't stop thinking about how the semester has gone by so fast! I miss everyone already! I also think that I'm still drunk/high after last night. Haahaha Cameron and Ali were pretty funny to say the least. Cameron of course made 50 new friends and forgot to take a breath from the time he started drinking to the time he went to bed. And Ali was a goofball per usual, and also made me smoke my lungs black. God my friends are pretty cool. So anyway, what I wanted to say is that going home now feels so different than it used to. And in my unnatural state this morning while riding in the Super Shuttle van, I realized that it is different because it is as if I'm no longer "going home" as I am "visiting home." And what I mean by this is that USF and San Francisco are my life now and my home has become the "place where I grew up." I know I have family and friends there that I love and cannot wait to see, but I also have very important relationships here. So the idea that college is just a phase or a this unreal place is becoming less true as I begin to develop my life here in San Francisco. This is my reality and I'm realizing how awesome it is day by day.
Sorry if that was a little too philosophical, it's how my brain is functioning on only 2 hours of sleep and too much Brandy and Doobie (that was for you, Addysen). I hope all of you have wonderful breaks with your family and friends, and I cannot wait to see your scrumptious faces when you return. With all of my edible love,

one more down
So as I sit here watching my QBA students take their final, I'm realizing that this semester really is basically over. I have 4 more hours of work and 2 more finals between me and Christmas break. I'm not really sure how I feel about that. On one hand, this semester has kind of worn me out. I'm hoping I will let myself not work quite so hard next semester. On the other hand, my time here is basically half way done. Since I'll be gone all next year, it kind of seems like that time doesn't count. I'm almost done with 3 semester here, and they have gone incredibly fast. I have one more semester this year, then 2 more senior year and I'm done. That is terrifying for 2 reasons: it means I only have 3 more semesters to fully enjoy the friends I love so much, and then after that we have to face the real world. It is almost too much to bear so I will stop thinking about that for now and hope that they finish their final soon so I can see all of your beautiful faces (or at least I'll get to see most of you)
love and finals (with lots of cafine!)

couch
dear friends,
i was out walking today, not too far from school, when i stumbled upon a deep purple, velour, overstuffed armchair/ loveseat. i wished that you had all been with me so that i could have carried it awkwardly back to the dorms and squeezed it into some tiny room.
when i walked by later, it was raining and the chair/couch was soggy :( nothing like soggy velour.
anyway, i thought of you and random chairs and $20.
lamest blog ever, sorry lol.
love,
mt

Thanksgiving!
Well, Kailey was complaining about people not blogging anymore...so I decided to blog. Yup.
Well I was planning on posting pictures from my recent trip to Arizona, but then I remembered that I didn't take any pictures. So scratch that idea.
I guess that I'll talk about how happy I am that Kailey, Ali and I are spending Thanksgiving together this year! I can't think of a better way to usher in the holiday season than with those two people! Awwww. But seriously. Getting up at 4 on Friday to go shopping, going to the elevators, and watching the Christmas tree lighting from Cheesecake Factory while eating cheesecake...what could be better?!
Well. I blogged and Kailey can't complain for a while.
Muah.

Le Life
Bonjour!
Wowzies, it sure has been a long time since I last blogged. Well the school year has officially started, we've already been here for 2 months! Holy Crap! It is terrifying how fast time flies. The love palace is going swimmingly, zebra sheets and all...it is really nice to be....(Ok, this is how bad I am at blogging, I wrote this a bazillion years ago and never finished it or posted it)
So really Holy Crap! It's almost Thanksgiving! What happened? How is everything moving so quickly. We are almost halfway done with sophomore year then that means we are almost halfway done with college! Yikes....So Anyway, I guess I am not even sure what to write about. This year certainly is different than last year, but not necessarily in a bad way (other than MT not being here). While things have changed, it isn't too shocking for it seemed inevitable, but it is a little scary. It's weird to be at a point in my life where I look at the last three years and nothing is the same. Previous to coming to college everything was very stable. You go to school during the year, you have summer vacation and you go back and things are more or less the same as the were before. Things no longer have that same monotony, we left what was familiar for good ol' USF, we were socialized into the college life and just when we thought we had the hang of it Summer came and we were sent back to our old lives that didn't resemble what we remembered. Then we come back, and the college life we spent a year acclimating to is not the same one we remembered. While things are good and we're lucky to be in college, this transitory lifestyle is kind of uncomfortable. It's just important to keep in mind that life is weird...and it's only going to get weirder. and I love you.
Kisses,
K.

long time no blog
hello my little dears,
i am so sorry that i haven't blogged in like 2 months. i know i am very behind. to be honest, today is the first time in like a month that i've even read the blog. my bad, please forgive me.
so like kailey said a long time ago, its weird being around the freshmen and seeing what they are like now, and how we were like that last year/how much has changed. that's something i've been thinking a lot about recently, how different my life is now than it was a year ago. so much has happened that i NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS would have expected. ;-)
i've also been wondering though, how many of these changes in my life have changed who i am as a person. and how much have they changed me as a person. and which of these changes are good and which are bad. basically, college is the time to discover yourself and who you want to be. am i becoming the person that i want to be? am i heading down the path that i really want?

Bathroom Talker
Ok, so guys. I was going to take a shower after a long stretch of reading and I get into the stall and I hear the girl in the stall next to me talking to someone. Now as you all know, this is not too uncommon and I simply brushed it off as some friendly stall to stall shower convos with the girl on the other side who I assumed that she knew and was friendly with. But then I hear this male voice respond from somewhere. "omg" I think, "what is going on?" It's obvious that the alleged male is nowhere in the girl's bathroom and becomes clear that the girl is simply talking to her bf on speaker phone while taking a shower. uhmmmmmmmm awkward. What is even more awkward is the fact that her bf didn't know she was in the shower, and then got really suppppper excited when he found out and proceeded to inquire as to whether or not she was naked (hahaah). They continue on with their awkward conversation as the girl (I imagine) carries on with all her normal shower activities. Next thing I know, speaker-phone boy is retching away on the other end of the phone, for quite a long time, I might add. The girl, who apparently doesn't find this to be too weird, giggles flirtily and asks "what's wrong, baby?" Speaker phone boy, suddenly magically cured of his ailment, responds cheerily, "I was laying down, those are the noises I make when I'm laying down". All the while that this is going on, I am trying to shave my legs but am thoroughly distracted by the middle stall escapades and do a really crappy job. The boy continues to ask awkward questions like "you have a shower in your room?" and "can you take a picture?" and middle stall girl continues to indulge him and even proceeds to take him off speaker phone and have a more quiet, private conversation...WHILE SHE'S IN THE SHOWER. hahahahahah all I wanted to do was be done with my shower so I could go out and tell someone, but by the time I dried off and got dressed, it didn't seem that weird anymore.
lol haahahah well that's my blog for the night.
Love yous

Lovefest Countdown
So it is that time of year again, the time of year where debauchery and nudity are rampant in San Francisco. The time of year where you find yourself confused over the fact that there is a chicken in front of City Hall. The time of year where you listen to free concerts in Golden Gate Park.
Ali is very happy for this weekend.

Should be a wonderful weekend....
Hello everyone,
Surprise, surprise....I am sick once again! Which makes me a tad depressed about this weekend which, in theory, should have been amazing. I mean come on, lunch at the Jez Rez, Robert Plant and Allison Kraus, Ben Kweller, Joe Purdy, Iron and Wine, Vertigo at Union Square, and Love Fest should be a flawless weekend....except for the fact that sickness has overtaken my body. O well, what can I do?
I have been reading a lot lately and have come across some amazing books. You all need to read Watchmen. Don't be skeptical because it is a graphic novel.....it is honestly one of the best novels I have read. It really makes you think and re-examine everything. AHHHHH, so goood!
Now I'm reading Kite Runner, which is also exceptional.
Well, I guess it is bed time for me, I have to get up early tomorrow to help out with Prof. Deist's conference.
Love you all!
Kyrstin

Saturday
Hellllllllllloooo friends!!!!!
My oh my do I miss your little faces. This whole starting a new college thing kind of blows. My classes are great, but I have yet to jump on the friend train. I keep having to remind myself that it's only the first week...but stilllll.
Today (my first Saturday at school), I woke up super early, like we're talking 7:30am, and went downstairs for a pancake breakfast, which was supposed to be followed by a day of service around Seattle. Except, I didn't sign up when I was supposed to, so I asked an RA if I could still go, and he said I could go over to the place and see if there were any spots open and then fill out some paperwork and then pull blackberries until 3 pm. So, I nodded as if that all sounded good, but really I was thinking "wow! what an awful way to spend a Saturday". So, I ate some amazing M&M pancakes and talked to another transfer from across the hall and decided not to go. In my defense, I spent a large portion of my summer pulling blackberries. NOT FUN hahaha. So I went back up to my room when everyone else went to do service and planned out how I would spend my newly wide-open Saturday.
When I returned to my room, my roommate was just getting up. She's pretty cool. The only problem is that our room is TINY and she is ALWAYS in there. She seriously never leaves. So I always leave, to avoid dieing of claustrophobia. Today, of course, was no different. So I grabbed my stuff, map quested this giant Goodwill and headed out. As I was leaving, I decided to call my mom. It was one of those really really sad and depressing phone calls where I was trying not to cry the whole time as I told her about my pitiful life haha. By the time I got off the phone with her, it was time for an early lunch, so I stopped by the cafeteria for some chicken strips and a delicious smoothie. I sat at this table overlooking Mt. Rainier (amazing!) and read The Stranger (which is kind of like SF weekly) and just about died laughing.
Then I started off on my Goodwill adventure. Turns out this Goodwill was like 4 miles away in this super sketch part of town, but it was seriously the biggest Goodwill EVER. I was kind of getting depressed when I was in there though because it was really stuffy and dark and there were all these screaming children and people cutting in line at the fitting rooms. So I took my cute Target shorts and maternity dress and left. I didn't really know where I was or how to get back, so I hopped on a bus that said Downtown and ended up... you guessed it, downtown. From there, I proceeded to get on another bus up towards Capitol Hill and got off and walked the rest of the way back, stopping at Tully's on my way back for a non-fat iced mocha (half off!) and filled out an application. At this point, I was feeling much much better about life (coffee'll do that). Then I called Meagan and talked for a long time and returned to my dorm room to find... you guessed it... my roommate. ohmigod. Seriously?!??!?! It's a beautiful Saturday! Leave this freaking dungeon of a dorm room and go DO SOMETHING. She is currently watching an I Love Lucy marathon. I think I want to die. I miss not having a TV. Oh well. I will get used to it I guess.
Tonight, I might go to some masquerade thing in an abandoned warehouse in Wallingford with this kid named Kelly who lives across the hall. We're both sad and lonely transfers haha. It works.
Anyways, the moral of this story is that I MISS YOU GUYS!!! I'm enjoying myself for the most part up here in the beautiful PNW, but it's definitely a tough adjustment. Today, I found myself comparing everything to San Francisco; the neighborhoods, the people, the buses etc... I think about you guys all the time and lovvvvvvvvvvvve you soooooo much.
I hope you all had an amazing Saturday and ate some Ike's for me :)
Also, did you get any large mail yet?

My oh my do I miss your little faces. This whole starting a new college thing kind of blows. My classes are great, but I have yet to jump on the friend train. I keep having to remind myself that it's only the first week...but stilllll.
Today (my first Saturday at school), I woke up super early, like we're talking 7:30am, and went downstairs for a pancake breakfast, which was supposed to be followed by a day of service around Seattle. Except, I didn't sign up when I was supposed to, so I asked an RA if I could still go, and he said I could go over to the place and see if there were any spots open and then fill out some paperwork and then pull blackberries until 3 pm. So, I nodded as if that all sounded good, but really I was thinking "wow! what an awful way to spend a Saturday". So, I ate some amazing M&M pancakes and talked to another transfer from across the hall and decided not to go. In my defense, I spent a large portion of my summer pulling blackberries. NOT FUN hahaha. So I went back up to my room when everyone else went to do service and planned out how I would spend my newly wide-open Saturday.
When I returned to my room, my roommate was just getting up. She's pretty cool. The only problem is that our room is TINY and she is ALWAYS in there. She seriously never leaves. So I always leave, to avoid dieing of claustrophobia. Today, of course, was no different. So I grabbed my stuff, map quested this giant Goodwill and headed out. As I was leaving, I decided to call my mom. It was one of those really really sad and depressing phone calls where I was trying not to cry the whole time as I told her about my pitiful life haha. By the time I got off the phone with her, it was time for an early lunch, so I stopped by the cafeteria for some chicken strips and a delicious smoothie. I sat at this table overlooking Mt. Rainier (amazing!) and read The Stranger (which is kind of like SF weekly) and just about died laughing.

At work....
Hello My Friends,
I know it isn't my day to blog, but o well. I am currently sitting in the SII office 'at work' drinking my muscle milk. Hells yeah.
Ali, Kailey and I went to the opera last night (The Bonesetter's Daughter) and it was incredible. The relationship between the mothers and daughters really touched me and reduced me to tears....a lot of tears. I feel like it was a good bonding experience for all us daughters ;). Haha.
So here is what is on the schedule for the weekend: 1) Ikes (yummmm...hopefully Dominic will accompany us once again), 2) Seeing Shiny Toy Guns at the Folsom St. Fair. Hmm....I'm sure there is more on the list, but that is all I really care about right now. I have a feeling seeing Shiny Toy Guns at the fair is going to be crazy. Yes.....very, very crazy/weird/exciting/wonderful/////// I'll try to post some pictures of it......
Well, I really want to leave work now since I can't think of anything else to write, but I can't because there is a Senior here waiting for another Senior to show up so they can go on the Senior Retreat. Sigh. Isn't it weird to think that in two years we could be going on that retreat?????? Yikes. Time flies.
Ok, well I'm gonna do....something. Later

To whom it may concern:

Sophomore year just means junior year which means graduation (hopefully!) which just means.........work ;( winky sad face ..Yah, so doing all of this Orientation talking to the freshmen thing makes me think of the beginning of our year last year. How different are we now? woahhh, We weren't even all friends with eachother and mostly rotated in different ciricles. I am so glad to you know, and be friends with you. awwww presh. Well Loves and Kittens.

Moving, moving, moving
Wow! It's been a long time! So, I'm finally moving up to Seattle tomorrow. Woohoo!! I'm so excited. Except that I'm coming back down to Silverton on Sunday, going up to Portland on Monday, back up to Seattle on Tuesday just in time for classes to start on Wednesday. Ahh, it's madness, but hopefully this Xploregon awards ceremony will kick my ass it's so awesome and it will be totally worth it. Anyway, I've been doing a lot of crafts lately. It's really fun. I'll post some pictures once I get a minute. Also, I will post pictures of my dorm room as soon as I get settled in, etc... b/c I know you're all dying to see it ;) Funny story! So I've been talking to Kyrstin's friend Pat who goes to Seattle U and it turns out that I'm living in his old room. weiiiiiiiiiird.
Well, I just wanted to get in a quick blog while I was thinking about it. More more more to come for sure.
Love and cupcakes,
Marie-Therese
PS if you live in sf, be expecting some "large mail" jk. it actually really just is large mail. I'm so bad about these things. I was going to keep it a surprise so you weren't expecting it, but I guess not.

...
Let's see, life is kinda boring. Packing, spending multiple hours in the dentist chair and seeing friends for the last time. I saw Tropic Thunder today. It made me laugh. I have kinda been torn emotionally lately. Wait I think bipolar is a better way to describe it; happy one moment, sad the next, ahhh I hate these things called emotions. Well, I guess it doesn't matter because I will be with you guys in a few days time.

RIP
Hello my loved ones,
So I'm slightly confused why I am the only one to blog this week so far? O well, I guess I get to see you all in a couple of days so I'm not too upset.
Well, I have some bad news. My uncle passed away yesterday. :( Yeah, not too great of a situation. So me getting to San Fran is a bit more complicated now. I think I'll still get there in time to move in on the 18th, but I may be missing most of orientation for the funeral.....or I may not. I don't really know what is going on right now....
But lets talk about something happy/funny....ok, maybe this isn't happy but I do find it pretty funny. Last night I threw a birthday party for my friend Bonna. She came over early with two of my other friends (JoAnna and Cody) to help me set up and stuff. Cody and Bonna offered to go buy some firewood and ice for me, so I sent them off to the store in Cody's car. About 10 mins later I get a call from Bonna who sounds a bit panicked....she then proceeds to tell me that they dropped a car door on her foot and that she is going to the ER! Yes, a car door. Apparently Cody's car door fell off while they were driving so they pulled over and picked up the door to put it back on (or something). Sadly, the door slipped from their hands and landed on Bonna's foot. Yes, a car door. Thankfully she didn't break it. Nevertheless, I was left with the job of explaining to our many guests why the birthday girl wasn't there. But Bonna (being the tough lady she is) still decided to show up later...after her foot stopped swelling and she popped some pills! So beware of car doors! They can really ruin your birthday party.
I think thats all for me today....I need to go finish packing. I will see you all in like 4 days!!!
Love you.

The Final Countdown!!!
So I have a little more than a week before I go back to The City. This is a good thing, but I have no time to do anything. My bosses have decided to schedule to work until the last day that I am in San Diego. This is bad. I can feel the pressure and I still haven't seen "The Dark Knight"!!! What is with this!?! Oh and I need to beat the Star Wars Lego video game. There is so much to do!!!! I shouldn't even be on the internet! Must go do something constructive...like eat ice cream or something like that. See you soon my lovelies.

Hello Loves,
I officially started packing today! How crazy is that? I am only in H-town for 3 more days and 4 days in Plains visiting the fam. Yikes! I'm so ready to go back, but looking at those numbers is freaking me out a little....
We hired a new dude at the coffee shop who used to live in San Fran with his wife. I have had a lot of fun talking to him 'bout The City and fun places to go.
I've been going through my closet trying to get rid of excess clothing....I had no idea how much clothing I own! It is crazy! But I'm getting rid of a lot, so be proud of me!
So funny story, I went into my hair salon a couple of days ago to get my hair lightened a bit so it would be closer to a dark blonde than a light brown. Well, here's the funny part....I came out of there with hair that was darker than when I went in. I guess dark brown is the new blonde.
I hope you all watched Paris Hilton's political add in response to McCain using her in his add against Obama. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It is worth it.
I miss you all!

Hello Friends,
So while attempting to write this blog I some how made my text underlined, impressive, I know. As usual I was trying to think of what to write for my blog and couldn't think of a really interesting topic so I thought I would just fill you in on some recent activities.
Sisterhood (where did the underline go?) of the Traveling Pants came out today! OMG! I went with Kelsey and Rebecca to see it at the local theater. Even though we went to a later showing (9:40 if you must know) a vast majority of the females in our graduating class were also there. It was a mini reunion of sorts. The movie takes places the summer after their first year at college, so it was sort of weird being at the theater with all of these girls who were in fact at the same point in their lives as the characters. We laughed, we cried, we gasped, it was wonderful. You have to love the sisterhood.
I got a new phone! wahoooo! This is the beauty above, same color and everything. Originally I wasn't going to purchase a new phone because I was going to try and same the money I made this summer for back to school but it turns out that I suck at saving! And my old phone refused to take a charge so I didn't have one. I love this phone, and hopefully as you have noted, my texts have improved grammatically as I can now add proper punctuation. The saddest bit is that after I bought my new phone I lost my old one, so I don't really have very many numbers and I had just completely bejeweled the old one.
Well this isn't really about me, but I think it's funny. My dear friend Brandy is housesitting for his cousins who owns a Maine Coon. A Main coon is apparently known as the dog of the cat world for they can grow to an alarmingly large state. Well this cousin loved his MC dearly, but around a month ago the cat disappeared. So the other day Kelsey and I were at dinner with Brandon and he gets a call from his cousin. His cousin had been talking to this woman also from our town, who is a self-proclaimed cat psychic. The deal is, you call the woman and put yourself on speaker phone, you then call for the missing cat. The cat psychic, hearing your call, taps into the cat's psyche and hears you through the cat's ears. She then sees through the cat's eyes and leads you to it. Brandon, being the generous soul that he is, talked to this woman for 2 hours (and by the way she does this for free) and thinks he has pinpointed the cats location to a brush field that he thinks is too creepy to enter. The psychic said the cat got lost. How a dog sized cat can get lost in a brush field close to home and survive is a good question, but hey. The cousin should be returning home, it shall be interesting to see if he and his feline companion will be reunited.
FICRA fair. This Saturday Kelsey and I are selling our wears at the FICRA (Fox Island Community Rsomething Asomething) Fair. Basically we are making crap (like notebooks, jewelery and spring rolls and selling it) I hope we make bank. hahahaha.
Canadian Vacay. So Laina is coming this Sat. yipppee!! and we may be heading North to visit our Canadian neighbors. This should be epic, we are planning to take the ferry across to Victoria and stay in a really cool hostel. We are just waiting on the hostel to tell us if they have room! Oh man I am going to be so broke at the beginning of the school year! Bring on the Credit Cards! hahahaah
Love and Miss you all,
Kailey

Roommate...
So, today is August 4th, and do you know what that means? Seattle U room and roommate assignments are being mailed!!!!!!!!! Now I know that it takes a couple of days for snail mail to come, but I kind of just assumed that they would also send an email, because at this point it is clear that they have the assignments and are just being cruel and withholding them from us. Unfortunately, no email came this morning when I checked and the 100 times I refreshed the page were to no avail either. Alas (haha) I am in limbo between being roommateless and finding out the fate of my coming academic year...dun dun dun. So I decided to Google image search "roommate" to see if there were any signs or hints pointing toward my pending fate, and sure enough! This is what I found...
In other news: Rachel's parents got a white mini-cooper, I'm going to a Brandi Carlile concert and my little brother is coming on the next trip. Also, the Xploregon blog is up ( I know you were all dying for that news) and I take almost all of the pictures and am in charge of making sure the blog gets done, so go admire my awesomeness. It will be updated periodically throughout the coming 2 weeks and then you can tell me how great I am when I see you in SF :)

Regrets
Hey My Loves,
I just saw this online and I think it is a lesson that we all need to learn and to take to heart...or at least I know I do.

Pretty......
This is awesome! Check it out....I want it....too bad it is $675. Sigh. But it would look so pretty in Mary's and my room...might not be legal (would it be considered a candle?) but still awesome.
Check it out here!
Check it out here!
Tires!
Goodness, goodness, goodness. My tire blew out today......I can't remember if I blogged about this but not too long ago my other tire blew out on the same road it blew out on today. God damn. It wouldn't have been a big deal since I know how to change tires (I finally learned the first time it blew out), but we hadn't got my other tire fixed yet so I didn't have a spare. Again, not a big deal except for the fact that my phone was dead, so I couldn't call anyone to pick me up or call AAA to come tow me or change it for me. To top it off I was in my pjs. I thought about walking to a friend's house who was close but I knew he was at work, so then I thought about walking back to Shawn's (a good couple miles), but I only had heels with me and it was a dirt road - not awesome walking conditions. Thankfully, I got my phone to turn on for about 20 seconds - enough time to call my mom and tell her as quickly as possible where i vaguely was and that I needed to be picked up. I was kinda scared that she wouldn't be able to find me though since I was out in the valley and she isn't to familiar with that area. But she found me and drove me home until we got my first tire fixed and then took me back to change it. So now I'm super good at changing tires! Except I had to lay on the grass to change it and it made my legs break out in extremely painful hives...so yeah, that was fun.
I leave in 15ish days!!!!
Miss you all!
I leave in 15ish days!!!!

Le Shark Week
Hello Friends and future family members ;) (uhm, what?)
So it is that time of year again, SHARK WEEK. Also my last day of sitting on children was today due to my vacation+the dad's vacation+ going back to school, I am no longer needed. Today we went to the zoo, the sharks truly stole the show. I am afraid of sharks. I guess it's not so much of the sharks, mostly just their teeth and their love for blood. Well bladhahdalblah Bob Hope. I came up with a name for my bike! Introducing....Dawson Leary! It's perfect, both born sometime in the 80s with terrible hair! So cool. Uhm, I have been drinking a lot of coffee since I came home but the last couple days I have realized around this time that I haven't had any. I usually realize this because I have a pounding headache and am really tired. aye. and the starbucks people have began asking if I want the "usual." Help. Tomorrow I am going to Oregon! Yea!! I am so excited, the coast is epic. I really recommend a visit to Lincoln City sometime in your life. MT is coming as is Kelsey H.'s family so it should be jolly good. Only 17 more days until I leave for SF! Crazy! I am excited, but also wish that I made more money. Unfortunately my desire to spend is much much much much much much higher than my desire to work so this usually never works out in my favor. I was thinking it would be kind of cool if all my stuff in storage burnt and then I got to buy new stuff. But I really doubt that would work out. I have also come to conclude that I have been at home for 2 months and haven't missed anything in storage. I am not really sure what is in all of those boxes, there are a lot in that little unit. Well this was a ramble of a blog. Love and Miss you all to pieces.
Cake and Coffee,
Kailey

I was thinking it would be kind of cool if all my stuff in storage burnt and then I got to buy new stuff. But I really doubt that would work out. I have also come to conclude that I have been at home for 2 months and haven't missed anything in storage. I am not really sure what is in all of those boxes, there are a lot in that little unit. Well this was a ramble of a blog. Love and Miss you all to pieces.
Cake and Coffee,

Birthday fun!
yay its my birthday! thanks for all the happy birthdays etc!
so yesterday quinn and i went up to san luis to see our other cousin casey. it was actually a lot of fun. i played frolf for the first time! not going to lie, it brought back bad memories from my early days of golf and totally sucking. but oh well. then last night we hung out with a couple of my cousin's friends. then, being the great influences that they are, quinn and casey decided that it was their duty as my older cousins to get me drunk on my birthday. thanks a lot. but it was fun though, even though i had to drink beer, which i do not like. oh well

:-O
So last night I got to go to my first movie premier, and go backstage at a Kevin Costner (Modern West) concert, and then hang out in Kevin's hotel suite. omg.
When my cousin Quinn was little he was best friends with his next door neighbor, Ben. Ben's father Larry is now the drummer for Kevin Costner's band. Kevin is from Ventura, which is like half an hour away from here. He wanted to have a special premier for his new movie, Swing Vote (its actually really good, I recommend it), in his hometown, followed by a special concert by the band, which did all the sound track for the movie and has a small scene in it. Since Quinn is visiting, Larry (who actually dated my mom's little sister in high school and has all these weird connections to my family) got us tickets to the premier and VIP passes to the concert and stuff. Then after the concert we were all hanging out back stage, then people went to the bar at the hotel they were staying at, but some people thought that was too loud so we just all went up to Kevin's room. It was kind of crazy.
Oh also really weird, some of Larry's other friends were talking to him right after he got off stage as we were walking up to him and they were like "Hey what ever happened to Jimmy Gallagher?" And Larry was like, "Well he's right there!" It was so weird, I guess these were some of Larry's friends from high school and they were my dad's neighbors when they were little and stuff. It was kind of funny though because my dad like does not remember them, he even called my aunt (Quinn's mom) and she didn't remember them either. But they were going on and on about his motor cycle and bunk beds and working for my grandpa in the summer and all this stuff so apparently they were like really good friends, or just have some freakish obsession with him. And one of their wives went to high school with my mom and like seriously there really were just all of these crazy connections. They were very nice though and it was fun.

Comic Convention
So as most of you know I am a huge nerd (remember the Star Wars tattoo?). So every year around this time I go to the comic convention in San Diego. This year was sold out and the crowds were really bad! Hence the picture below, that was the line I had to stand in to get my badge.
Now one of the great things about Comic-Con is the stars. I saw Hugh Jackman, Keanu Reeves, Seth Green, and that guy who played Cedric Diggery in Harry Potter. 
Now what would comics be without half-naked women...this is my favorite. Her name is Tera Patrick...she is HOTTTTT!
And how could I forget the Klingons from Star Trek. So I went to a panel for Star Trek just for giggles and it turned out that ALL the hot guys who attended Comic-Con were in that room (YES!), I am just that good. And it was freaking hilarious.
I also met my favorite comic book artist, Ben Templesmith. He signed my comic book for me and drew a little sketch in there as well and then proceeded to show me his leprechaun erotica. They were drawn in various Betty Page poses (don't worry there was no full nudity...but a lot of pasties). Basically, I love Comic-Con. Oh but I hate anime kids...with a fierce passion.

Pie
Well Hello My Lovers!
I first need to say that I'm counting down the days until I head back: 23ish! While in Denver I have been buying things for the dorm...and boy am I excited. Also! I got a call from Mary the other day saying that we are officially roommates! Yes! Life is officially good.
I head back to H-town tomorrow bright and early in the morn'....that is also very good. I have had my fill of hospitals and sickness for a long time.
I bought new pajamas the other day and boy do they make me happy. I have a new robe now! It isn't as fluffy and green and duck-y as my old one....but it is super classic and classy! And! I even got new slippers to match it (kinda)!
So question. You know how by soaking hemp in water it becomes softer....do you think that works with burlap? Cause I have these great sacks I want to sew into floor pillows...but they are kinda scratchy...and I need to find a way to make them softer. Any ideas would be helpful.
I miss you all so very much!

Summer time and the living's easy
Hello Friends and fellow members of the blogosphere.
So the clock of summer is ticking and the days of schooling are drawing near. Less than a month until most of us head back to USF for orientation, yeeeeaaah!!!! Anyway, here's what I've been up to the past couple of days.
Friday: Well I received a new bike to bring back to school. It was my grandpas old bike but he got a new one for Christmas so I get his. It's lavender, has a furry seat and is a road bike. So epic. My mom and I went on a short little ride, it was majestic. I can't wait to go through Golden Gate Park on it. Now I just need a name. Suggestions?
Saturday: I woke up at the crack of dawn (aka 7am) and went garage sale-ing with my mom and sisters. Since my older sister is in the Navy, we decided to go to the Navy base and look at their crap. I don't know if any of you have every been on a military base, but it is intense, no Mt not in-tents, but it is a little city inside of these high security gates. They have multiple types of houses, apartments, bowling alleys, restaurants, grocery stores, starbucks and you could even buy a coach bag! (oh how I yearn for one of those puppies). It also turns out that the only thing that you can buy at garage sales is baby clothing. Since my older sis is preggers, it was a jackpot for her, but I did come away with some good things like a candle that's battery operated (so I don't burn the dorms down) and a little doohickey that allows me to take over the car radio with my ipod.
Sunday: My family and I headed to Olympia, WA (the state capital for you uninformed readers) for the farmers market. It was delightful. I had olive bread and Salmon Jerky for lunch.
Monday: I woke up before the crack of dawn (6am) and went hiking. I went with my grandparents (who are the informed and experienced hikers of the bunch), my mom, and Kelsey H.'s Mom, Pam, to beautiful Mt. Eleanor. It was great. It is one of the easier mountains to actually summit so that was quite nice to be able to say, "I climbed to the summit of a mountain today." Unfortunately I stored my hiking boots back in San Francisco so I hiked in Tennis shoes. Not the best idea because there was still snow and I had very little traction resulting in some very bruised and cut up legs. From the top of the mountain you can see Mt. Washington, Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, and all of the Olympics. All of the heavy breathing and loss of blood was worth it. In addition-I can barely move my legs 2 days later. All that elevation!! ahhhhhh.
Tuesday: My step-dad and I went sailing! He just began sharing this sailboat with a guy who has it moored in downtown Tacoma. It was really windy when we took the boat out. He hadn't been truly sailing in a long time and I know nothing about sailing and was very little help. There was one point when we were out in the middle of the bay and the boat was rocking back and forth doing it's little sailboat thing and my stepdad said "ok, so I am going to come about, what all that means I don't know, but it could be disastrous". Luckily we didn't die. It turns out come about is when the sails catch wind on the other side and you turn around...or something. I don't know. All I know is that I really didn't want to get dumped in the Puget Sound and had fun. haha.
Wednesday: My friends made fun of me for my lack of domesticity. It is sad. I better find a husband that likes to sew and cook........ahhhhahahahahaahahaha. Also, vote Larry Sequist for State Rep. hahahaha.

hello beezies
i miss you all! life in santa barbara is going fine. i only have one more day of classes then finals on thursday. THANK THE LORD. i cannot put into words how much i am looking forward to summer vacation. also thursday my cousin is coming to visit. i'm excited cuz i haven't seen him in like 3 years? plus we've never spent much time together so it should be fun. little known fact about my cousin- mt knows him too! anyways, so this week i went to the driving range twice. it had previously been over a year since i'd even touched my clubs. ali may be the only one able to fully understand this. i was a bit terrified, but it actually didn't go too badly. the balls didn't go as far as the used to, naturally, but at least i could hit most of them solid & strait. pretty exciting stuff. OH! other exciting news of the week, i almost forgot! i started packing!!! :-D this might be a little over zealous of me, but it for sure beats studying for finals. and it makes me even more excited to go back to school!
oh so last night i was looking at this blog that i think some of you would like. i heard about it a while ago but just remembered to check it out (also instead of studying) its called stuffwhitepeoplelike.com its pretty good stuff. and #91 is about san francisco! its kind of sad how true some of the stuff on there is. anyways, enjoy! xoxop (p for airlick)
p.s. 1 week till my birthday!

Work
So today was the stereotypical day at Cottonwood Golf Course. There was a charity golf tournament for handicapped children, drunken men and Playboy Bunnies. Oh not to mention a few girls from Deal or No Deal, and Hooters. There was free beer at every hole (we have a total of 2 courses at Cottonwood, so that makes a total of 36 holes). My Dad is a Marshall at the course and he had to report a tipped over golf cart, two carts which got drunkenly smashed in a ditch, and indecent exposure (he was mooned). Oh might I add there was 400 people in this tournament. So while my Dad was dealing with drunken men I was setting up.
When they came in for dinner they drank more and ran up a $2,000 bar tab in 3 hours (I guess it could have been worse).
After dinner I helped clean up 400 plates and glasses. And at the very end was asked by a Playboy Bunny to bum a cigarette. I happily obliged - as I normally do. I handed her the pack she looked at both ends of the smoke and looked at me and asked "I don't know how to smoke this, where is the filter?" So I politely explained to her that you could smoke out of either end and make sure to keep her lips dry when smoking it. This didn't really register and she remained completely clueless. Literally 5 minutes later a second Bunny asks to bum a cigarette. I give her my pack and honest to God she asked me the same thing as the first...verbatim. So I explained for the second time tonight how to smoke a non-filtered cigarette, luckily, this one got it.
But the ringer for the night was when I got into my car and looked over and saw a bucket with a black plastic bag hiding the contents of the bucket in front of my passenger seat. Now I had lent my Dad my keys earlier so I assumed he put the bucket in there. Well I peel back the bag and underneath is a half full handle of rum, eight beers, two energy drinks, one Gatorade, four mini water guns, and two cloths which you clean your glasses with - all of which my Dad had gathered from the various stations around the golf course (remember the 32 holes with free beer?). So I relocate the bucket to my trunk and head home after a long, hard day of work.

So...Hot......
I'm sitting at work right now, killing time before I actually have to start working...and our AC is down...and it is piping hot. Meh. Its 91 degrees in here! Holy Cow.
I'm going on a last minute family emergency trip to Denver tomorrow....so much fun. It will be nice to get out of town though. Sadly I will have to miss the Symphony Under the Stars - Buzz Aldrin is going to be there! And I will miss auditioning for ANTM....o darn....(that was a very sarcastic o darn...)
So this is probably turning into a very random/rambling blog...but here are some songs that are amazing to me right now: Your New Twin Sized Bed by Death Cab, Lost by Coldplay, Crowd Surf of a Cliff by Emily Haines, The Twist by Metric, The Fleet Foxes in general, and Stranger Lover by Ghostland Observatory.
Ok, now it is 92 here! Ahhh, someone come save me...I'm burning to death.
Well, I should probably actually work now. Laters!

Change?
Hello Friends!
So the time has come. Someone somewhere decided many moons ago that America's voting age should be 18. This being said, it is our first time (us being college freshman/soon to be sophomores) to vote in a presidential election! I am so excited. I couldn't think of a better time to be able to exercise my rights and make my vote count. Hopefully America is about to see some big changes. My biggest concern regarding the election has to do with, how do we decide who to vote for? It seems that everyone running has a plan for America's change and everything they are pushing in their campaign is going to "save" the nation. How can we really trust the information we get anyway? Politician's and the media are full of lies, right? And what about picking a political party? I grew up in a Republican household but have not always agreed with my parents politics. At the same time I don't necessarily feel I can align myself 100% with the democratic party. I see the danger in being a fence-sitter and never picking a side for fear of not wanting to deal with political drama, yet I also think it is just as bad to pick a party and support it 100%, no questions asked, or knock a candidate immediately, simply because they are of the opposite political party. Anyway, I digress. Like I previously mentioned, I am excited to learn more about the election, the candidates etc. Here's a little satirical video my mom showed me today I hope you enjoy it. At least I am not the only one who feels conflicted about the election. But really, can there be a perfect American President?
Good Learning,
K.

howdy
so i just got a bike, well cleaned up and took over my mom's old bike, and its the first time i've had a bike since like 4th grade and i forgot how great having a bike is. the last bike i had had the breaks where you peddle backwards, this one has like gears and hand breaks and all kinds of snazzy stuff, even though its older than i am.
so it looks even better in real life, it doesn't look so great here. (also notice the lovely dirt that is currently our back yard till the landscaping gets done). but anyways- bike riding is so much fun! i love it!!!!
so also, today instead of doing homework like i should have i read my journal from last semester- there's some good stuff in there. so it reminded me of some of the amazing times we had- like the midnight ice cream sundays, and epic weekend & epic monday, and all kinds of stuff that reminded me once again why i love all you guys so much and miss you so much!
i am so excited for this year!!!!
ps. 2 weeks till my birthday :-)

A New Bit of Heaven
OK I have very amazing and wonderful news!!
I have a new wardrobe. I went shopping with my mum and we bought me a bunch of new clothes. And I must say children I look 5,000 times sexier now (if that is even possible). I was wondering as to how I even attracted men before, after all I had quite the dingy set of clothes. It is amazing how much a new outfit changes one's self-esteem. But yeah, that is about it, love you all!

So I normally hate yellow, but when I saw this sweater I for some odd reason fell in love and I had to have it.
This is blue...enough said
I like to call this my safari shirt. Apparently by the look on my face there is a giant African animal about to attack me in my room
And of course I am saving the best for last....Kailey I bought this shirt just for you so I can match the craziness of that jacket your grandmother bought you.
