| Hey dudes. I'm in Colorado right now... probably the most cold I've ever been. It's like 5 degrees right now but I'm sure it'll get colder. PERFECT! But actually, I really love it. I always love Colorado, but I've never been here in the dead of winter. Ok, that was a lie. Pretty much, I'm just freezing.
Oh life. I'm really glad I didn't do interterm this year. Two weeks would not have been enough time at home. And I wouldn't have been able to go to Las Vegas Flagstaff and Colorado! The main purpose of me coming was to write an epic novel, but I haven't started yet. We leave tomorrow so maybe I can get in a few minutes before we head out.
I hadn't been online since Sunday and I guessed I would have 38 emails. Andrew thought 5. 39, baby! I rule at guessing. And pinball. | | |
| Apparently liking the Illini comes close to being an unforgivable sin here in Arizona. Who knew?! So I'm now faced with the decision of denying my love of the Chief (he's so cool! he dances and everything!!) or face the wrath of pretty much everyone in the greater Tucson metropolitan area. Crap.
So I went to Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon last week with Amy, Crystal, and Lauren. That was glorious. I'm super addicted to Facebook, so all of the pictures are on there. It was better than Las Vegas. Yep.
Two albums I enjoy listening to in the car:
Ben Folds "Rockin' the Suburbs" - I think only because I know all the words and they're upbeat.
Bright Eyes "I'm Wide Awake It's Morning" - Not only because it's just objectively a good album, I also like singing along.
That was way lamer than I imagined in my head. Oh well. I smell toast, and I'm hungry, so I'm going to eat. K bye! | | |
| I've had this bad boy for 666 days. Creepy?
I'm not good at xanga anymore.
Maybe soon I'll figure out what to write. | | |
| My little sister Elizabeth continues to make me laugh - slash - make me sad for the future of America. This is a conversation that just passed.
Me: Hey Liz, mom called and now I'm taking you to the mall.
Liz: But mom's supposed to take me!
Me: I know, but she has to go see Uncle Bud.
Liz: But how am I supposed to call Josh when I get there if I can't use her phone?
Me: This will be a good lesson in history for you. When I used to get dropped off at malls we designated a place to meet because no one had cell phones.
Liz: Yeah, but how am I supposed to call and let you know when I want you to pick me up?
Me: There are great things called pay phones...
Liz: Yeah, like I would ever use a pay phone! (note that this is spoken in the same way you would say "Yeah, like the world is going to explode in two minutes!")
Oh life. | | |
| Let's talk about how much I hate ice and those spiky ice demons commonly called icicles. We think they're all cute, imitating them with colorful lights... but no - those things are death traps, working together with their friends "the trees," waiting to fall on the next innocent person walking underneath them. I would show you pictures, but my phone is dead, and the power is out pretty much everywhere (except for College Ave... praise Allah I know people here).
Last night (before the world turned against me) Vanessa and I looked up the Hey Dude theme song on youtube. It was beautiful. And I probably said "It was filmed in Tucson!" every other sentence. Glorious. "Better watch out for those man-eating jackrabbits, and that killer cacti... Heeeeeey Duuuuude!"
Did I mention I'm the Master Pinballer? 'Cause I am. | | |
