varsheentun: part II

Sorry for the photos being all wacky. I'm still new to this so shut your face.

This was our day in the snow! I can't remember which day it was exactly, I must be losing my mind - it was last week! Oh well. We went to Billie Jo's dad's best friend's house. (That's a lot of ownership right there) Anywho, it was real fun. We played in the snow, ate a lot of now, went sledding, saw some elk. I think it was elk. Meh, some big animal thing. . . sorry I don't have pictures of it all, I need to get some from Billie Jo's dad.
(Who's really cute and little - that's for you, Swheeler)

Big Pimpin'




Self timers. . .

. . .don't really work out too well :)

The gals, reunited (and it feels so good) haha.



What's a trip without getting preggers ;)


The best dog. . .EVER, Heidi.



This is the people's house. Not even right. . .right?



Goodbye snow :(

varsheentun.

Well, here I sit at my desk. . . back at school. Bah. Since there is not much to do, with both roommates gone for the time being, I figure I should make this good ol' Washington blog while I can.

Christmas break is rearing towards its end and my it has gone fast! The first week I was pleasantly surprised with a random wireless connection. But that got a bit redundant after, oh, 5 days. :) I did the whole Christmas thing and by the time I was home for like, a week, I was ready to get the heck out of there. So, I rode up with Jeff [Edmonds] to Kent, Washington to stay at Billie Jo's house for the remaining break. Jack was staying with her too and Sarah lives in Kent as well so it was just a big ol' reunion of sorts!

I'm really just going to talk about four days:

- Seattle
- Canada
- Snow
- New Years

So, the day after I got there we decided to go to Seattle.

Our main goal was to go to the Seattle Public Library. Billie Jo and Jeff had never been there and boy, it is an architect's dream. I love it. It's one of the most beautiful buildings I've seen, let alone, been in. It's crazy big, has super skinny neon escalators, a super cool kids room, a red. . . basement? Whatever it is, it's just really swell. Here are some pictures even though I could not do it justice.

This is the red basement type place. For fellow red lovers, like myself, it's lovely. These are the stairs leading into the redness. . .

Cool, yea? I must warn you, I was going picture crazy. . .

This thing was real weird. It's a window and on the other side is the neon escalator. But inside the window are eggs with moving pictures. It's interesting, but the fun part is that you can spy on people and creep them out. Not like we do that or anything. . .

I was super parched after climbing the mountains, er, hills that Seattle is so infamous for. Luckily, Jack was there with her water bottle to save the day.

this is the crazy neon escalator. . .



Whoever designed this library is a Saint in the math world, or something like that.



This is what you can see from the highest point you can go. . .



We thought it would be funny if Jeff were to lay down in the carpet grass.



This is us waiting for Jeff to hurry down. . .

There he is lying down chilaxin'. Then they lady came and asked him if was okay. Haha.

Next onto the Children's part of the library. I really liked the ceiling. . .

Come on, who doesn't love a tree growing out of the wall?



Jeff and the Hat.



They had crazy squishy ottoman things to sit on. . . or play games on.






Basically, I just really love this library. If ever you are in Seattle, you must go and venture on in. Also, the outside is just as amazing, seen here in the latter of the two photos.

Also, while in Seattle, I hit rock bottom.

I am far too funny.

After the library, we went walkin'. . . because that's what you do.

We couldn't help ourselves. . . [this is my nutcracker face]



This concludes the Seattle portion of this blog. Thank you for reading, you should comment so I know you did :)

O Christmas Tree...

So, tonight, the roommates and myself decided to meander downtown. I'd thought I'd let you know about it =)

It started of by Kelsey coming to get me and then we went to her house to wait for Ashli to get there. In the meantime, her parents were watching some movie. . . the only part I recall was someone getting stabbed in the neck with scissors. Yeah. . . but it ended up being a dream? Meh, that's why you don't just watch the ends of movies.

I found out that Kelsey's grandma has a picture of me on the beach (actually, the one used for my little profile photo) hung on her wall. Haha, I'm art.

So then Ash gets there and we head to Lloyd Center to hop on the Max. We get off at Pioneer Square. Our main objective was to see the ginormous tree and take photos. So we do the whole photo thing. . . here are some:

And here's the humdinger. . . the hugest tree ever (that's not in a forest, according to me)

We tried to get some couple to take a polariod of us. . . and being older you would think the guy would know how to work it but no; it ended up off centered and no tree in the background, just the base. Eh, whatever.

We tried many ways of getting pictures of ourselves. . . okay, not many but a few. This is the best we got. Sadly, this is our first roommate picture - took us only, oh, a semester. . .

This is the money maker shout though, taken by yours truly.

Okay, not really, but whatever. It's us. The tree. We're not picky. We then wandered around the streets of Portland, following a genuine crazy lady for a while. We tried to get a picture but it was too dark and she was too far away. Drats, I know. She was hard core crazy.

We then decided we should go to VooDoo Donuts and get, well, donuts. So we did. Because that's how we roll. I just got a cream filled one, mmm. I took a picture of the lighting fixture in there because it's my favorite. Like, I want to steal it.

We then made our way back to the Max and then proceeded to make our ways back home. Not before we saw numerous beggars of coarse. My favorite had to be the one asking for us for change as has waves a bottle of liquor in one hand. Really? Oh Portland.

Well, that's about it. It really was more fun than it seems, I'm not that great of a blogger. But you know what? If you're still reading thing. . . I like you. You should leave comments =)

These little icons are entertaining...

I'm bored and I like these icons. . . this is what you get:

I'm rambling...

You know what I have come to realize? I'm simple. Really, I would much rather sit at home with someone and eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich rather than go to a high class restaurant with a 5 course meal. Granted, the second one would probably taste better, but you know what? I don't care. You wouldn't think I was simple by looking at say. . . my room. But I am. You know why? My room is simple. It's things I like. Things that make me happy. If they happen to match then wahoo! If they don't. . . I still like them. Even what I like is simple. It's pretty much everything.

I don't really know why I started talking about this.

Scratch that. I do.


My mom keeps making these weird foods because that's what "normal" moms do; cook elaborate meals and such. But in all reality, I just want cake. Haha. Or Ramen. That sounds kind of good, call me crazy. I don't know. I'm done with the subject though. Meh.
