Mermaids Can't Wear Panty Hose

Well, it's been nearly five days. I'm starting to miss everyone. (Well...at least, all the good people.) So here I am blogging on Goats and Monkeys. I believe that was a frag sentence. Ya know what? Aleisha is probably the only one who will read this. Hey gurl! Like, what is up? You know you are so kewl! Halla! Yay. I'm making fun o those wannabe valley girls. *Sigh* Can you tell that I'm bored? Sorry I'm wasting your blog space. I'm also sorry for wasting your Earth space. I'll go now. Think of this as my "good bye" letter. Adieu

Everyone go see the newest Unice comic by Shelby (and all of them as a matter of fact) NOW!

Yesterday...

i went to town and saw a movie for the first time in arcata's Minor Theatre. it totally surprised me, because inside that dull exterior is apparently the 'oldest feature film theatre in the united states' and it's gorgeous! it has a beautiful grandfather clock in the lobby, the rooms (there are two) have a balcony level, like a theatre for plays, and that's where we sat. it also had new seats, on which there were arms that can fold back...i was wondering when the movie theater business would catch on to that. we also went to the donut shop, and the girl who works there had come from a gift exchange, where she got a rubik's cube that was all one color. she thought it was the worst gift ever, and gave it to us. i thought it was the coolest thing ever ("i'll finally be able to solve one of these things!") and so i claimed it.

Also, funny story from yesterday. my version: my roommate got up before i did, and went to breakfast with a friend, and i was just waking up when i heard her keying into the door. i was like 'i'm going to sit up and pretend that i've been up for a while' but when my roommate walked in (may i remind you that the lights were off) it took her a second to see me, and apparently i scared her really bad, cus she's like 'oh shit' when she saw me and turned around and went back into the hallway and started laughing.
her version: she walks in there, and doesn't notice me at first, then she looks over and just sees me sitting straight up, not moving, staring at her with really wide eyes and no expression. she said 'it was like the exorcist or something!' and it really freaked her out. yea, i've been teased quite a bit about my morning expressions now, and i wish i could watch myself, because it sounds like i could get a good laugh.

random quote from yesterday: "what are you doing, milking a squirrel?" -Colin

Beach fun

Me and Shelby at clam beach the other day. it was awesome, although this is not the awesomest picture of me. it's funny though.

I love this picture...

(that's shelby)

Earthquake weather...isn't it beautiful?

view from Founder's. and we really have been having earthquakes...

Wonderland...

I'm in one of those moods where i feel like i'm falling down a rabbit hole. maybe it's just that it's foggy outside, and i don't have classes or finals. i'm in this strange stasis, waiting for who-knows-what to happen.

I took this picture at the highest point on campus, Founders Hall. It's my favorite building on campus, and it's square with a quartyard in the middle that always seems to make me think of Alice in Wonderland. This is looking into the quartyard, through one of the open windows in the hall (the halls along the quartyard are lined with windows), and i put it on photoshop and edited it a bunch.

I just realized that my favorite childhood books were 'alice and wonderland' (and 'through the looking glass'), the oz series, and the narnia series. they all have the theme of leaving an ordinary world and going into this weird fantasy world. makes perfect sense, now that i think of it, i was always trying to create my own little world. i still am in fact, being an artist.

sorry, random self-reflective moment.

Quote(s) of the day

"I shouldn't have called the nun a fag." -Cunha, my geography teacher, in honor of the last time i'll see him for this class. he really is an awesome teacher.

"You guys have english...I have a boat." -Ryan

"Never Eat Spontaneous Wisdom." -Shelby (we were thinking of acronyms to remember north, east, south, west)

Here we are with all our glorious gifts! i drew that cat picture that melissa is holding. everyone gave such awesome gifts! i was surprised at how personal each of them were, it was really neat. 

Shelby only asked for bows for christmas...i wonder why she wants those? 

We had a secret santa gift exchange today, and here is our christmas tree with all our presents underneath it. 

Quotes...

I kinda like the idea of sharing quotes, so here area few jewels from my quote book that i keep.

"I'm going to go show off my package now." -me (this was actually me referring to the birthday package that Jay sent me. it's kinda tradition among my friends that if you get a package you wave it in everybody else's face, like "i'm more loved than you!" but in a nice way)

"Sometimes you just gotta get married." this was my next door neighbor's girlfriend, Gwen. the night before i ate breakfast with her and collected this quote she had a ceremony in the woods and married Alex (my neighbor).

"You're like a balloon that's flying around one minute and then someone grabs it and it's like 'eeeeeee!'" -Shelby, referring to Cindle

"Ok, so i slid naked down the edge of a razor blade, but at least i'm not the guy who was thrown into a vat of fire ants." -Random quiet ackward guy from ethnic studies, talking to the class about racism.

Shelby: "Maia's shoes are like the eggs in her uterus."
Maia: "....that i walk on."

And that's all for now folks! more later. maybe i'll do a quote of the day thing. Ooh! everyone, if they can, contribute a quote for the day! doesn't matter if a friend said it, or you read it somewhere or it's just a quote you like. maybe it can be quote of the week, if you don't want to do one every day. yay!

The Beatles

Hey everyone, what's your favorite Beatles song? i'm curious i guess because i have recently rediscovered just how much they rock, and i was startled to find that i had a favorite song (i never have a 'favorite' anything). It's "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" i could listen to that one forever...i kept pushing repeat at 5am last night when i was working on a drawing (again, yes) and it kept me awake.

welcome to MY world!

Hey, all! I made my own blog yesterday, but I only have three contributors, including myself. Everyone is welcome! So check it out and if you want to be invited just e-mail me. Hopefully I'll start posting my Unice comics up soon. First, I have to think of some... http://unicecycles.blogspot.com

Jingle Ball

Hey! Yes! I did go to the Jingle Ball this weekend (on Dec. 4th) :D It was Switchfoot, Hilary Duff, Simple Plan, Gwen Stefani, and Avril Lavigne. Jessica (my friend from Yreka), Sarena (Aleisha's sister), and her friend Golden came, too. It was pretty awesome. Check out the pics I got >>> http://www.freewebs.com/laurag411

Title

My favorite Simon and Garfunkel song is 'The Only Living Boy in New York.' I love Simon and Garfunkel. I worship them, and since Aleisha copies me in everything....she worships them too! Thanks a lot! What now, bitch? You gonna start collecting road kill as a hobbie? You gonna start waxing the steps at the old folks home? You gonna start screaming "pancakes!"at passerby's? You gonna start wearing prosthetic legs? Stop copying me!!! These are my things that make me the unique, special person I am! I'm gonna go cry now....

Rain

OK, so does anyone else find it weird that LA my hometown is getting more rain then the place i escaped to? maybe its not that wierd. maybe its el nino. haha el nino what a load of codgewollup, well actually i take that back. well at least LA wont be starved for water, i swear building a city in the desert silly missionaries.

Snarf

Oh my gosh. Jay, you may be used to this, but i just pulled my first all nighter doing art. it was a final project for my ethnic studies class, and me and Shelby sat in the freezing cold back room to the commons and worked on our posters 'till 7am, listening to simon and garfunkel, coldplay, and beatles covers. we hadn't intended to stay up all night, just perhaps really late, but we were on a roll and just kept going. i actually did sleep for two hours though. i'll post a picture of the completed project soon, because i'm actually proud of it. for now, i shall leave you with some quotes that came out of our tired frazzled minds.

"Fuck it." -me

"Psh, Colosseums." -Shelby

"I love redundancy, and i like repeating things too." -Shelby 4:20am (i found that to be particularly clever, so we put the hour to note that it's an accomplishment, to be so clever that late.

by the way, neither of us had to turn in our projects today. oh well, it was an adventure. i'm in english now, and running on two hours of sleep, so i must go. toodles.

"And here's to you Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know (wo wo wo)..." yes, i've still got simon and garfunkel stuck in my head. "coo coo ca-choo..."

Snow...

Ahhh, Weed, Ca. i got to see snow after all when i visited. this is across the street from my house (the view outside my bedroom window) for those of you who haven't seen my house.

PS...everyone please welcome Caitlin!
