Snow for Dayszzzz

 Blizzard all day.
4-7 inches of snow.
Yay for incredible roommates who will run a pair of converse to the CUB so that you don't ruin your suede boots.
Sam Bam you da best! :D
Still loving tackling this guitar business :)

Farewell Christmas Blend...

...Hello Bold Sumatra.

No More Mittens to Bed

I bought a new hat from Walmart today.
Couldn't help myself.
It was only $6.
Got a space heater for our room.
Maybe now I won't have to sleep with mittens on.
The surf board sized drawing of a penis is still outside our door. 
Cool.
I though we were out of high school. 
Perhaps not all of us...

WSU is Filthy - Macklemore

[I think this is possibly the coolest thing. ever. Props go out to Mercedes.]


Meryn: "Oh are you the one that has trouble sleeping? No? Let me rephrase that. Do you have insomnia?"
Meryn: "Is that fish? No really what's lichen?"
...
Got to see mucho familia this lovely 3 day weekend.
It was needed, and wonderful.
Lentil soup. Poison...yeah.
I laughed constantly. How was I blessed with such a hilarious family? Extended family included of course.
I was finally united with my new boots. What a spectacular moment.
...
Too bad it's been off and on blizzard ever since I got back to school, and it's supposed to stay like this all week.
I had a dream that I woke up and Sami was about to go out on a run. I looked out the window and it was sunny and there was no snow. I was relieved, told her to have a nice run, and then kept sleeping. When I woke up she was sitting at her desk in her pjs and it was snowing harder than ever outside. I asked her how her run was and she thought I was crazy. I couldn't believe it. I still can't. I hate dreams that feel that real. I was excited to wear my boots. Pish posh.
...
I haven't posted in so long. The Macklemore and Ryan Lewis concert was Tuesday and it was incredible! He is such a great performer. He jumps around a lot though so it was impossible to get a picture that wasn't blurry. Here's my best haha.
 RA Scion. I'd been pronouncing it R.A. Scion when in fact its "Raw"Scion. I'm such a goober. Oh well. So is Rob :P
The one and only Macklemore.
...
I've going on 4 weeks of being sick. It's the pits. 
Other than that I think that's all I have in the update.
TTFN!

...
Shades of Black Host:
"Fergie burnt the black eyed peas."
My dad:
"Bye Nemo, hope you find your bra."
"I will never smoke weed with Willy again. Just a random thought. Happy Valentines Day!"
Too funny for words.
...
I'm at the library right now.
I wore shorts because it didn't seem too cold out and the library [in my mind] didn't seem too far away.
It is currently snowing.
The flakes look like snowballs.
It has been snowing for the last 3 hours.
I don't want to leave the library.
For obvious reasons.
Why. Why shorts. I blame Sami who allowed me to leave the room wearing them.
Roomate Fail.
...
P.s. Drew I want my scarf back lol

Classic.

This is for you Dad :)

What in Tarnation...

This confundles me every day.
I walk past, and my mind can never quite wrap around the fact that the door likely has a use.
Until I figure out that use, I'll just have to use my imagination.
oh pish posh.

Mat Kearney

These were the Capri Suns I gave to Mat and Tyler.
After a short discussion on whether they had an expiration date, Mat handed it over to his manager guy and said [and I quote] "Here, save this."
Kaboom.
What a wonderful man.
No but seriously.
He was one of the most genuine artists I've met.
Just a rock solid man with some sweet kicks.
The sole purpose of this picture was to see if Tyler was married.
Obviously he is. Oh well haha.
Me and Ty Ty. Mat's Capri Sun still in hand.
Tyler told me and Lisa all about how there used to be a guy in the band who would always wear shorts and flip flops.
To restaurants, in the winter, and to every concert obviously.
Now we're insiders to a band joke! I guess everyone else is now too since you've read this.
Shorts and flip flop guy.
Oh man.
Overall this was one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Mat Kearney sounds even better live than he does on a cd.
I just stood in awe. What a gosh dang talented person.
I'm so grateful I was able to meet him.
Something I won't forget :)

Bleck.

Study no fun.
...
"One day I want to meet Taylor Lautner in a crowd of Twilight fans and scream OH MY GOSH IT'S SHARK BOY!!"
...
That line absolutely made my night.
Thank you mare-barf :)

Be Convinced.

Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I think he's covered just about everything. And yes, I'm convinced :)

Eric ate dry grits straight out of the packet today.
I have nothing else of interest to report.

All Smiles

A hidden jem as Meryn might call it.
I love this picture.
Graduation was nothing but smiles :)
Gave the camera and myself some excercise.
Went on a picture walk.
iPod, camera, chit chats with God here and there, lovely weather.
Recipe for...
...just what I needed I guess.
:)

Walls Journal

My latest project.
My Walls Journal.
I'm enjoying filling it with quotes, and cutting up magazines.
It's like the concept of handwritten letters being so much more special than an email.
There's something about being able to physically turn each page that is way more satisfying than a blog post.
It's obviously a work in progress.
Just wanted to give a sneak peak.
Thank you O'Malleys for the journal :)
Me and Teeabeans :)

My Oh My

At work today Sam described to me this crazy Mariners game he went to where the player threw their entire mit with the ball in it to try to get a guy out and he ended it with...

"...and I ate 4 lunchables that day."

I laughed so hard.

New favorite song everyone.

Happy Chinese New Year

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Math 172:
Dawn Zhang [profesor] walks in and writes on the board "Happy Chinese New Year"
She then proceeded to blame every math mistake [which were unusually numerous] on her excitement for the Chinese New Year.

Cutest woman on the planet. It's official.

Concert Committee Meeting:
Me: Rob guess what!
Rob: You actually showered today!?
Me: [honestly I don't even remember what it was I told him; I was so impressed by his response]

People know me too well.

Hey wanna see a brain? Oh no thank you.

It's choking me. but is oh so warm :)

*5 minutes left in Psychology*
"Alright well we're all done now; you guys can leave."
*picks up a big green tote*
"Oh wait I forgot. If you want to stay I can show you the human brain I have in this bag."
Oh right. No biggy. You just have a human brain chillin in your manpurse that you almost forgot to show us. Gross. I watched him put on gloves and pull it out and then I booked it outta there real fast. No Dr. Laurel Bolt in my future ;)
