This is a little late but you know what they say....

Better late than never, eh?

Anyways, I hate packing. So I spiced things up a little by making a face with an upside down amazon box and cups.....cuz I'm easily amused and just as easily bored.

A dangerous combo ;)

I attract cute kitties

I stayed with my friend Tamlyn in Seattle for a bit. She was house sitting.

Along with the house came kitties.

The first one is Curry. He's red, vocal, and fat.

The second is Max, who apparently needs time to get used to people. Which is why I was really happy when he loved me right away :D He's such a classy cat. If he were a person, he'd be sipping tea, stroking his goatee, and talking about Robert Frost and E.E. Cummings.

...

You're thinking I'm crazy right about now, but I forgive you.

I've been away for FAR TOO LONG

Jose and Pedro joined Michael and I on our adventure at SPU

They like him :) and from I've gathered, he's a big fan of them too.

I'm gonna be taking more pictures once I get to PLU. New place. Beautiful campus.

In short, plenty of places for Jose and Pedro to investigate :D

My apologies...on with the ducks!

Jose and Pedro met some Canadian pirates on the ferry ride to Victoria last weekend.

Captain Roxanne politely introduced her crew.

(Right to Left) Navigator Gretchen. Negotiator Chad (he's gay). And First Mate Jacqlyn.

They decided to come back to American with the Ramirez brothers. :)

<3christine

Pedro's Arrival

Pedro finally arrived. :)

He had a run in with some government officials....thankfully, Pedro has a green card!

The Ramirez's love America and would never come over here illegally.

Jose and Pedro are gonna have a blast together.

<3christine

My own little sun spot....

Sometimes when it's a nice day and there's a big sun spot on the carpet, I curl up next to one of the cats and I nap with them.

Is that weird?

I swear I was a feline in my past life.

<3christine

Jose Update

Jose found an old picture of his older brother, Pedro.

Pedro is coming to visit soon. Jose has told him how wonderful America is so Pedro is going to come visit and become a citizen (because the Mexican Duck family are law abidding)

I should figure out a last name for them.....

Ramirez

that'll be their last name.

<3billie

The only thing that amuses me about math....

is the vocabulary.
OB-TOOOOSE
holy crap, hilarious.
enjoy my doodles. I love them.
<3christine

I wish life were this pretty

because it's not.
and it's making me very cranky.

I'm gonna go Hulk on everyone if things don't change.
<3christine

Jose enjoyed the weather, too

He's a fan of sunshine.

But, who isn't?

Vampires, that's who.

<3christine

I'm considering pulling a Ferris Bueller

They can't expect me to concenrate and be productive when it's freaking gorgeous outside.
Even though school didn't start until 10:30 this morning, I still wasn't ecstatic about going. I just wanted to hop onto my bike and feel the wind on my face and drink iced tea and laugh at stuff and watch shadows.

But no, I had to go to school.

Damn.

<3christine

Something's missing...

I don't know what it is...
but I can't help but think there's something I'm missing in my life.
There's a hole
and empty spot.
what the hell is it???

<3christine

I need a change

I need to see new things.

I need to rest my mind someplace different.

I want to see the sun set on another horizon.

I want to escape the normal.

<3christine

Stop Raining.

Please?

Passport Weekend at Plu: Part Four

This is Jose.

In a dorm room at PLU.

On the desk and on the floor.

It's as simple as that. :)

<3christine

Passport Weekend at PLU: Part Three

Lower campus. Jose decided to join me in the sunshine. I love that rubber duck.

Oh, and I love daffodils :)

The place is beautiful. And I adore taking pictures outside. Natural light is the best light.

<3christine

Passport Weekend at PLU: Part Two

Caution: Light at the End of the Tunnel. May cause giddiness.

This is Hinderlie Hall. Residence Hall. At around...8am. I love how many window there are everywhere. I also love how personalized the hallways are. It's like being introduced to a ton of different people just by the things on their doors.

:)

I can't wait to be a part of this.

<3christine>

Passport Weekend at PLU: Part One

Me having fun with the automatic photography. You know when you press the button and have ten seconds to get into place?

Yeah, that.

That bathroom gave me chills. I wouldn't be surprised if it was haunted. Along with Hargstad, the only all girls residence hall and the oldest building. *shudders*

More tomorrow!!

I had a wonderful time, Bee Tea Double-U

<3christine

Dooooom

This is an AT-AT from Star Wars. It is located on top of Storrs' television in his class. The first day of school I correcntly identified this piece of pop culture and was looked upon with praise from then on.

Well....until I turned in my first essay....heh.

I liked the angle. It's like....looming over you 0_0

mwahahahahahah

<3christine

I wish I were a cat...

ah, the joys of being a domestic feline.

Sleeping on your owner's clothes

all day.

Getting up only to eat.

And getting cranky when said owner wakes you with her camera.

Sounds like my kind of living *sighs*

<3christine

p.s. my cat should be a model. he's gorgeous

she's dreaming of spring

I saw daisies today as I walked home. It made my heart jump because I need spring to be here.

You need to under that spring is my least favorite season to understand the significance of that last sentence. I'm so tired of crappy weather it's not even funny.

Enjoy

<3christine

I love history

I forgot to put this up after I went to the military museum.

Brownie points if you can tell me what Killroy is. ;)

Back to the 80's Day Two: big hair and big eyes

I look like a friggin' doll.

Evie looks crazy. But that's why I love her. <3

I was in love with my hair yesterday. Until I had to wash all the hair spray out. What a bitch.

<3christine

Compliments to the Evster

Evster=Evie+ster
hahahaha
Thanks for putting the stage makeup on my face, dear. I appreciate it :)
Yesterday was opening night for BACK TO THE 80's and I had a freakin' blast. I'm not even an actor. I'm part of the band, but ohmygoodness we rocked the house.
I think, sometimes, I was meant to be a performer.
Except that I get nervous in front of people. It's terrible. I'm a mess. I could never be an actress. I would forget every line.
But music?
Yeah, I could do that. I need some jam buddies.
Oh wait. I already have some.
*pumped*

<3christine

Where'd it go?

Oh there it is!
I was afraid it was gone forever!
Thank goodness, I was goin' crazy lookin' for it.

<3christine

Told you so

*scruffy voice* "I'm a man of my wuuuuurd"

hahahaha, I love the Joker

I'm not a man, FYI

enjoy teh hands

:3

<3christine

I gots stufffff ta do

I will get more creative when I have time to get creative.

I promise.

<3christine

p.s. Eddie Murphy is freakin' hilarious

Four hours of sleep

That's an orchestra festival for you.
Junk food and no sleep
Oh, and performing.
It's hard to perform when I can't even keep my eyes open long enough to see and comprehend the music.
It's not my fault I couldn't fall asleep,by the way.
It's not my fault I'm a light sleeper.

I love the color of the stalls in this bathroom at WWU's Music Hall
I dunno why...

<3christine

Hmm

Maybe I should clean my room...

contemplating....

Nah.

I am an organized mess.

I know where stuff is. Just because it's an eye sore doesn't mean it's not comfortable.

But my mother insists that I clean this disaster zone. Why? I ask. No one sees it. I'm not trying to impress anyone. This is my hole away from the real world, not a museum (though there's probably some forgotten treasures hiding in there somewhere...) The Pope isn't visiting right?

Didn't think so.

The fact that I'm the biggest pack rat ever doesn't help my situation. What I call "collections" my mother calls "trash"

<3christine

The Love of My Life

1965 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck

I love it.

I want it.

But, alas, I do not have four thousand dollars

or a license.

So....it's a bit problematic.

<3christine

Jealousy

I wish I could nap all day like this guy.

I had a picture of Nina, my other kitty, so I thought it was only fair to get a picture of Lucky on here.

Here he is in all his fluffy glory.

Falling asleep on my clothes.

Again.

Isn't he ADORABLE?!?!?

<3

Christine

Success!!

By "Success" I mean with the picture. I finally got one uploaded. Yay!

Success has nothing to do with what the picture is of, unfortunately. I spoke too soon when it came to verifying trig functions. I am still ahead of the curve and I know what I'm doing but there were a couple a problems that kicked my ass. It wasn't pretty.

And, thanks to the Boys Basketball team (whom I fully support), I missed three days of school. So I haven't had a chance to ask Lamus for help =(

Maybe next week.

Anyways

This is the first picture from my NEW CAMERA that I've posted. Duh.

His name is Isaac (the camera)

I love him.

Him and my father are the only men in my life. And I'm fine with that.
