Some Of My Friends Sell Records, Some Of My Friends Sell Drugs

It wasn't until we were driving through Snoqualmie and I saw the broken down train that sits in the middle of that small town that I began to feel like I was coming back to my roots. Only about 30 more minutes and I would be back to living in the middle of the forest. In that moment I made a promise to myself that I will make that quick drive from Redmond to Snoqualmie to hike the falls this week. Then my dad told me that about a month and a half or so ago there was some major flooding out there which ruined some houses and parts of the road. Also that they most likely closed off the trail down to the falls and wasn't sure if it was open again yet. I had already heard the trail was closed but I didn't know it was from flooding. That ruins my life completely. I will have to figure out if it's still blocked off so I can see those beautiful falls up close and personal.

When I got to my house I saw my little brother's ghetto Metro in the driveway and got excited to see him and punch him in the back, which I did. He's a big 17 year old, he can handle my weak punch. I called my oldest brother Matt and he headed over. After getting all of my belongings upstairs into my room we headed over to Kirkland to walk around the waterfront and get some dinner. Have I mentioned yet how much I love this state? Well I do. The trees, the endless number of lakes and ponds, the people (which are mostly Asian - thanks to Microsoft and Boeing), the fact that I don't have to reapply chapstick every 2 hours, basically everything. After wandering around Bellevue Square and Lincoln Square then meeting up with my brother's friends to crash their Valentine's dinner, we headed back home. My insomnia was really catching up with me by this point, so I went to bed and actually slept almost all the way through the night!

Today was your typical Sunday- wake up, hang out til church, come home, eat, hang out. It's funny I wrongfully thought I had, at least for this week, escaped the talks on marriage in Sacrament seeing as how I was at a family ward. But nope, the subject was choosing the right companion and strengthening your marriage. I'm not even kidding, when the first woman started her talk and introduced the subject my dad and step-mom both turned and looked right at me. Please, I'm like 22 leave me alone.

Now that I am away from all my friends back in Utah I am going to try my hardest to update this thing more often. I can't promise anything, but I will do my best to post more than once a month.

I Love You So Much. Do Me A Favor Baby Don't Reply

Getting everything ready to move is probably the most annoying thing that can ever happen to a person. And if you're anything like me, you procrastinate and try to do it all in the last few days. Well that's what my last days in Utah were filled with, on top of figuring out things with my car insurance for my newly totalled car.

Besides the stressful parts of relocating my life, I enjoyed my final time in UT. I mean I didn't do anything super special besides spend time with the people I wanted to see most before I left, but it was good. If I didn't get to see you before I left, I'm sorry. You're just not as important to me as the people I did see. Oh you know I'm kidding, at least a little. I do miss everyone, some quite a lot, but that's life. I will see you when I see you and I'm glad I saw you when I saw you.

Oh It's Such A Shame For Us To Part

As I took the little silver key off of my keyring and handed it to the woman behind the desk, I realized in that moment my life would be forever changed. I would never see Henry again. Since March 2005 we have spent time with each other almost every single day. I thought our love was everlasting, but apparently I was wrong. Everything was going so perfectly. We had plans for the future; we were going to take a road trip together. Who would have thought it would all come to a screeching halt, quite literally. So farewell Henry Fonda my red Honda. I will always remember the way I had to guess how fast I was going because your speedometer didn't work or how you just hated defrosting the windshield. Lets not forget the time we were driving to Salt Lake so I could go to work that one winter and you decided you just didn't need the right front tire, so it flew off and we almost died. That was so darsh of you. Despite our differences we made such a wonderful team. Every time I see a red civic I will think of you and our time together. 13 is such a young age to die, you will be missed my little 5 speed wonder.

They want your money honey, give them it all

I'm not going to lie, I've already lost interest in writing this blog. I will go on only because I am very bored and don't want to continue to disappoint those that are waiting for a new post from me. So the three of you, here you go. 

I love Conan O'Brien. I think we can all agree that between 11:30-12:30 P.M. there is no better thing to do than have a few laughs with Conan. That's a lie, but he has brought me many laughs this evening. On the other hand, why is Rachel Ray on t.v.? I'm pretty sure my life would be the same if not better if I didn't have her and her 30-minute meals in it. 

So come middle of February I am out of this state. Oddly it is somewhat bittersweet. I can't wait though. It's coming up on 9 years that I have been here and that's much longer than I would like. I have such a huge crush on Washington, we've been apart too long. Just seeing her in pictures or once or twice a year will never suffice. I need her near me. 

On February 5th I won't be 15 anymore. It will be a day to remember.

My desire to travel is definitely peaking right now. I am in need of a long flight with free toblerone bars. I still really want to go to India. I most likely will want to until I actually do. I would love to go visit Michelli in Brazil or wander my way through Europe. Good thing I'm really rich so it's most likely I will be doing all of these things. 

The Killers Day and Age - amazing album 

I'm going to go read myself to sleep goodnight.  

Draping assignment for class

Some guy that sat there for two hours so I could draw him

She's gonna be a soccer playing, she is she iiiiiis

Music is my boyfriend

drums Adam hot Lazzara (T.B.S.) I would love to do this one over again, I think I could do it so much better and maybe not at 2 in the morning.

Brandon Boyd (Incubus) I'm pretty sure this doesn't fully capture his intensely good looks.

Adam Lazzara again

Some girl that sat in front of me for two hours so I could draw her

I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around) I'm sorry it took me so long

Sorry everyone, yet again I have failed you in keeping up my blog. You've reminded me relentlessly to do so, so here I am in math class choosing to not pay attention to the lesson and instead update. If I fail the next test I will wholeheartedly blame you. In the interest of time and my math grade I will just make a quick list of things that I have been keeping myself busy with/struck my interest since the last post. I may later come back to add more, but lets be realistic I probably won't. Oh I will be posting more art on here soon but I don't have those pictures with me at the moment. On to the list....

- Taking Back Sunday "Where You Want to Be" album (I remember the day it came out 4 years ago. I bought it and listened to it for no joke the whole first half of my senior year everyday during art. It feels good to step back in time, musically at least)

- Chris McCandless

- somewhat of a Zebley family reunion with 5 of the 7 brothers

- working my 2 jobs

- schoolwork, tests

- my crushes on Mehmet and Deron growing immensely

- Brand New

- The Office

- wanting to go to Bombay House more than life (still haven't gone for quite a while, just saying)

- drawing

- being cold, but thankfully not as cold as other winters...yet

- wanting to go to another country more than anything else (preferably India, oh then I could get my Indian food too, and have the chance to use the most gay phrase ever "killing two birds with one stone" but I would not)

There's probably more I could write but I'm going to go ahead and work on my math now.
