Super duper ultra hero

I think my kryptonite is too much eggnog latte :P

I need to find a lazerquick close to my house and open late so I can go make super copies for my super duper ultra graphic design homework. :D DA DA DAAAAAAAA!!! ZOOOM!! I'm off!

That was eventful

hokay, so.

Mom, the kids and myself were just out for a lovely drive to Joylynn's place via downtown to see the lights. Unfortunately we never made it there. I guess the serpentine belt on the van slipped off or something anyway there were battery lights and the-engine-is-way-too-hot lights coming on and dinging and the power steering was gone and the kids were screaming and fireworks were shooting out of the back tires and hundreds of caribou were stampeding though waterfront and SWAT teams were coming down out of the trees ALL AROUND US!!!!! Well.... three out of seven ain't bad... that's nearly half. So, anyway, we pulled into a parking lot. Mom was pretty stressed so the kids were kinda freaked. Cameron was almost in tears because he thought we were never getting home, which ya know if we couldn't call anyone to come get us or come fix the van and our feet were cut off so we couldn't walk home and the river was, like, the ocean... he'd pretty much be right. So there we were, children of the streets, living day to day with little hope and even less Applebees 9oz. house sirloins with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. We had to survive somehow so we left mom to defend the van if needed with her karate chop action and we ventured off to forage for food. Which turned out to be easy enough since across the parking lot, through the bushes, across another parking lot, a couple sidewalks, a street and ANOTHER parking lot there was a seven eleven. Once we braved the crosswalk and stumbled into the store half dead from starvation I gave the kids six bucks to purchase the essentials: gummy candies, airheads, a slurpie and candy bars. On the way back to the van we decided that we should be children of the sidewalks since the streets were wet, dark and kind of full of traffic. No sooner had we piled back into the van and started into our bounteous feast when Joylynn came a-riding though the rain in her valiant black steed... I mean, truck. WE WERE SAVED!!! Alas... we had to leave Mom, but equipped with that lightning fast karate chop action she should be ok. Dad and Tom went to fix the van and rescue her and Joylynn headed back down after dropping us safe at home because her children wanted to see their Gramma.

Was that a harrowing tale or what? Wow, I tell you what wow.

I like cookies

I drink more tea when I have ginger nuts to eat too. Too bad they don't sell them at the Aussie shop downtown :P Oh well... I want a pasty.

Guess what guys

New Zealanders don't celebrate thanksgiving.

You may think this is terribly and utterly obvious.... aaand you'd be right. I'm so blonde sometimes, I was chatting with my gonna be mum-in-law about thanksgiving and what she and my gonna be dad-in-law will be doing and she said he didn't really care all that much and they'd probably sit around and eat cold cereal. I didn't really think about other countries not celebrating thanksgiving, you know why? Because Canada does.

And you know if Canada does something... pretty much everyone does.... except New Zealand.... they don't.

Giving of thanks is tomorrow

So... when does the happy come? I'm in a crazy weird :P blah :( mood tonight. I can't really describe it which is why I used faces. I want to eat but I'm not terribly hungry... I'm sort of depressed, frustrated and sad... I hate that I'm so emotional about everything and I wish that I knew how to better control my emotional responses to things..... grrrrr... I want to rest...

tetley's tea and ginger nuts!

Yuuuuuuuuuum! With milk and goodness, mmmm MMMM mmmm MMMM mmmm!

For those who don't know, ginger nuts are cookies. The ones I have are from the Australian pie shop in Burien, WA so they are shipped from Australia but the cookies are also made in New Zealand. I like them a lot :) The pies are alright, they're kinda like pasties but not as good. ;) (I'm gonna get yelled at for that comment, hehehe) They're sort of like pot pies without the veggies... unless you order them with veggies, but even then they aren't the same as pot pies... quite different actually. I suppose you all will have to try them for yourselves. I like them alright.

Next on the "exotic" foods agenda is to introduce Logan (and Brandon and Lindsey) to the wondrous world of PASTIES!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAY PASTIES!!! Yum yum yum! Gotta love the fillins! None of that silly gravy, pffft. (hehehe, I'm gonna get yelled at more for calling the great and glorious gravy silly)

na na yummy... amen Wyatt, amen

That is how Wyatt sings "Jesus loves me" but not the "normal" way (you know, Jesus loves me this I know.. etc). Oh no, not MY nephew :D He just sings "na na yummy, na na yummy, na na yummy...." I got to spend the night at with the Joylynn, Wyatt and Genevieve Reardons last night. Fun times, I got my homework done mostly but was, unfortunately, about fifteen minutes late. :P Now I'm not working cause I'm switching shifts with a coworker.

And Lauren Hemenway says I'm stupid :P I say she has green hair.


Then we both decided we'd lied so I'm not stupid and she doesn't have green hair.... but... if that's the case... what color IS that??????

Alyssas are emotional

Military life can be crap. Being engaged to military life can be crap too.

Crying on the bus is not my favorite... For that matter neither is crying in the library or at the bus stop, I think in general sad crying is not my favorite.

Ruben sandwiches are close to my favorite.

Why now?

the printer is running out of black ink, that sucks. I'm trying to finish some graphic design homework and it looks like crap. I suppose I could get everything else ready but the copies I'm trying to finish and get up in a few hours and go to the 24 hour Kinkos.

How crappy would the swing shift at Kinkos be? I think mischeif and mayhem would ensure were I to be employed at such an establishment and working at ridiculous hours of the night and morning when my being there would only be appreciated by the extremely lonely and/or the procrastinating graphic design student.

my profile is an idiot

do you guys see that I changed my profile? I changed it twice now but it doesn't show up to me. Everytime it says I'm still 19, but I'm not! I'm SOOOOO 20!

new hair, not much different but we like it

homework now, post later.

I gotsta do math and layouts and drawing, fun fun fun eh? :)

My head hurts... ow

I think I was sitting too close to the tv when I watched Batman Begins (cool movie by the way).

I totally took my bike off a sweet jump today guys. Actually, all I did was jump up a little slope on the edge of a driveway but it was the first time I've ever actually gotten both wheels off the ground off of a ramp of any sort. I am so excited!!! This is just one of the first steps, I already got over my fear of riding up onto curbs, I am well on my way to riding with Logan on cool looking things and maybe even learning some tricks and not just taking pictures at Tim's house. Though that is wicked kickin' fun :D I can't wait!

and now it's time to go to sleep :) yay for sleep, and yay more for not having to get on the bus at 6:45 tomorrow morning because I don't have school tomorrow! YAY! :D :D :D

I've forgotten....

I keep thinking of things I want to post about and then forget what they are... Then forget about blogging.... Then forget that I've forgotten and convince myself that I've already posted about whatever was funny that day.

it's a vicious cycle really...

Picketing the Storm

I rode my bike home on Sunday in the rain while Hayden walked (don't worry I rode slow and he had an umbrella). Well at one point I had to call Logan and inform him of my momentous occasion. The amazing feat being that I rode onto a curb by popping my front tire up, which I was previously scared to do because I figured bike would just stop once I got to the curb and I wouldn't. Anyway, while I was stopped to talk on the phone (because riding a bicycle while on your cell is like riding your bicycle drunk with one hand on the handle bars and one by your ear) Hayden began marching in circles moving his umbrella up and down chanting, "No more rain, it's a pain, no more rain, it's a pain...."

He also said something funny to Courtney today but I can't remember what it was... so.... there.

Hello Saturday

I have two art projects and a few pages of math to do and a few examples of graphic design to find, fun fun silly willy.

We have a new host/carside manager at Applebees. I was worried that he was going to be a real jerk but so far he's been pretty cool... to me anyway. Some of the other host/carside people have gotten some crap from him. I guess we'll just have to see how this all plays out, he's only been our manager for about a week.

Logan is gone again, sigh, it's hard only seeing him on weekends. It's great when he's here though! I love that boy :) it's tough not being able to schedule things like a normal person but I don't think I'd really wish for him to have a desk job or anything. I know he's supposed to be in the Army right now and I can cope with that :)

Starting school

Off we go into the wild... dark... abyss of early morning... haha. I was thinking in my head the air force hymn (is it a hymn? It doesn't sound like one) "off we go into the wild blue yonder" and it was all chipper in my head, but I realized that it's not blue yet... Well sort of blueish. Anyway I don't really think early morning is an abyss but I sure do like saying that word. Anyway I gotta go get some snacks to bring to my long day of school then work :P School from 8 - 1:50 an hour on the bus and then work at 4 until about 9:30. :P :P long day, and I'm starting to feel sick :P bad bad bad. Anyway, I'm off it's the second first day of school! :) :) :)

I may never march in the infantry...

I'm going to be teaching a Sunday school kindergarten class two weekends a month starting this Sunday. I'm really excited, I helped out last Sunday and with the exception of a few things which I already talked to the preschool pastor about, and I'm confidant they can and will be addressed, I loved it. Those kids are awesome, and SO cute and funny! They love to sing the Lord's Army song, it's a fun song. But everytime they sing it I think about the guys who are in the infantry and shooting the artillery. I think someday I may make a slide show or a video or at least draw a picture about it. I think it'd make a cool picture but I'm not sure yet how it'd look... In any case I should be getting next week's lesson in the mail :) Yay! I love kids!

I need a t shirt

I decided I'm going to create a tshirt, I just need to get one. I already got the paper I need and the graphic (thanks to my genius brother) it's AWESOME, check it out! It's skippy from Robin Hood. I'm going to put words on the shirt also. It's going to say DEATH TO TYRANTS!

I have appley tasting candy, yumm :)

I don't work tonight and I have tomorrow and Sunday off... What should I do guys? I feel like I should do something fancy... I'll probably just end up chillin around the house with my family. I think I may rent x-men, that'd be fancy.

I don't... know what to do....

hm.... lets just say life can come at you fast... and I'm not quite sure what to do at this point... I'm completely emotional and kind of dumbfoundedly numb at the same time...

I'm confused.
