Long wait- Sorry

Well, having finished my finals and all that, I am much relieved. I thought that this week would be boring since I haven't been called in to work and I don't have school, and there were no trials this week. So, I thought I could watch TV, sit on the couch and sleep. So far, I have gotten to do some of that, but I have also spent an immense amount of time hanging with a friend I haven't seen for a couple years.

He and I used to walk our dogs together everyday in middle school and would hang out at the Humane Society and generally were joined at the hip throughout 8th grade. In high school we were still friends freshman year and I dragged him and his huge dog Tank into the production of "a Midsummer Nights Dream" After that we sorta drifted apart, we were always friendly just we didn't hang out like we had used to. Part of it I think was due to the fact that our family moved to the other side of town and we could no longer walk a few blocks to the others house. but, honestly we never got in a huge fight to break up our friendship, and I always could talk to him. But now that he is back from his mission trip we have hung out a lot. NO, we are not dating. We are just friends. By the way, I am not high in this picture, this is Tank you really don't get the full affect of his size here but, as the name implies is huge.

Sunday night he and I went bowling in Portland then walked around Downtown(I froze my but off) and then ate at Denny's, I don't think we got home until after midnight. Then the last few days we have been watching the second season of Heroes. We went shopping and I met some of his family, awkward!

But seriously, I have been getting the stink eye from my parents like we are dating or something. Not! Just friends, not sure if a certain someone is going to read this, but sorry if I hurt you...I just need more than you can give me right now and it's killing me to keep trying, so maybe we should just take a break.

Welcome to the Family

No, I don't live in a zoo, we just happen to love animals. We have just added two new additions to out family, Leopard Geckos named Buttercup and Wesley. If I need to tell you where we got those names you really need to watch classic movies more often. The girl, (Buttercup, obviously)is "normal colored" she is kind of a tan color with brownish-black spots. Wesley, the boy, is a partial albino, I can't remember the term for that, but the background is alternating yellow and darker yellow stripes about an inch wide, with tan-ish spots, the spots on his head connect in these weird swirls. He doesn't have those creepy red albino eyes though, so that is good.

They are an early christmas present for my sister. I found them on craiglist and went to pick them up on tuesday. I am glad to say that she loves them, I do too. These are our families first reptiles since we summer sat the class box turtle from out mom's class at school. These guys are awesome, and hopefully they will be with us for quite a while

The Gossip - standing in the way of control

Prince Caspian!

I love the Chronicles of Narnia books, and I must say that although the file Lion WItch and the Wardrobe could have been better, I wasn't all that dissapointed with it. I thought some of the costumeing choices were odd in the case of the witch. But I understand that it is someone's vision of her.

The reason some people didn't like it is that it doesn't really showcase the entire book, but I can understand that the book has alot of stuff that happens in it. And from my recollection, Prince Caspian seems bit more like a movie than an epic. But here we go!
