1. I drove my friend Craig's boat up the Potomac River and saw the Pentagon and the Watergate hotel. Lauren also got to drive his boat. And Craig isn't really my friend, he's my dads business friend. I have pictures, but they're all at home. Sorry.
2. I went to the 8th Bi-annual Margaret Cavendish Conference in Corvallis, Oregon! "Not HOBBES!!" It was the best, ever. This is Averyl, Ashley, me, Carolyn and Brandie Siegfried, the coolest woman alive. We worship her, in a not-creepy way, most of the time.
3. My friend, Carolyn, (see above) told me about Dallas Clayton, so I went to his website and read all of his poetry. Go there, it will probably change your life-- dallasclayton.com
4. I went swimming. Quite a lot.
5. I saw Wicked and Shrek the Musical in New York. Shrek was actually hilarious. And Lord Farquad was the dad from the Mary Kate and Ashley show "It Takes Two", and last time we went to New York, in 2002, we saw him in Into the Woods. It was Fate.
6. I read the Picture of Dorian Gray, which I was actually supposed to read in high school, but I just sparknoted it back then. ("sparknoted" is a verb now) So i decided to fulfill that requirement, only 3 ish years later. And I loved it, like a lot! And there is a movie that just came out with Prince Caspian and Collin Firth, but its only in the UK, which blows.
7. I had an 80's Birthday Party! It was fan-freakin-tastic! Plus, I turned 21. I have good pictures, but again, Erin has them all. So, one day you'll see some.
8. I fell in love with the cutest kids alive. And I miss them. We liked to play Harry Potter, complete with robes and glasses, haha, and I gave the comedic performance of a lifetime being Professors Snape, Flitwick, Sprout, McGonogal and Trewlaney. They also taught me more about the Giants than I will ever know again.
This is mark, he is one. And he is a total doll.
This is Joshua, he is almost 3, and that is his favorite shirt. He loves to play castles and pirates.
This is Natalie, she is 5, and she is a ham and loves attention. She tells the funniest stories.
This is Matthew, 7. He is an amazing baseball player. He also loves to wrestle with Joshua.
This is Nicole, 9, she is so sweet, and she is waiting for everyone else to be ready to play Harry Potter.9. I went Kareokeeing and sang "My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit. It was awful, or rather I was awful, the night was awesome.
10. I got a henna tattoo, much to my moms chagrin, but she came around.
11. I took Lauren and Annie to the river, and we had an off the cuff photo shoot of Lauren, this is my favorite picture, she is like really, more?
12. Eric had a Twilight Black and White Party, and we took pictures and he changed us into Vampires. I stole this picture from Erics blog, because I love it. And i personally think my picture is the best, because I look scary, like I'm about to suck your blood, haha.
13. I had a blast this summer, but I am so glad to be back at school. This sounds lame, but I love learning! Oh, funny story, my best friend Rachel's mom told my mom that if she really wanted to know what was going on in my life she should read my blog. I laughed a lot. Mostly, because well, she already knows everything. And actually, upon getting my blog she said "blogs are for losers" thanks mom. :)
Also, go see 500 Days of Summer. The end.
