A Christmas List

Just thought I'd throw this up in case anyone was agonizing over what to get me ;)

I'm pretty easy this year.

~Anything Twilight-related. The books, Tshirt, movie soundtrack...
~Mary Kay makeup - My Mary Kay lady is Lisa Chovil and she has my list. lchovil@marykay.com, 360.319.2509
~Nice shea/cocoa butter lotions
~Pet rat accessories
~POLAR BEAR ADOPTION THROUGH DEFENDERS OF WILDLIFE
~there's a cool book out there called Anarchy: Arguments for and Against
~World of Warcraft gamecards (disclaimer: you will enable a very serious addiction)
~Amazon/iTunes gift certificates
~Hot Topic gift certificates. where you can also find these things:
~last but not least, CDs, posters or Tshirts of the ridiculous German pop band Tokio Hotel. Their German albums aren't available in the US except on Ebay but they are "Schrei (So Laut Du Kannst)" and "Zimmer 483." and a DVD, "Zimmer 483 Live" I think. They have an English album too called "Scream." you can find some of their stuff at Hot Topic. this in the link to their official merch site:

Catching Up

Hi everybody! I've been terrible. And it's been summer. Here are some new things!


Ben pre-haircut.


One of my best girlfriends, Hana.


JACK FREAKING WHITE from the raconteurs. I was at this show, watching him make that smirky adorable face. I love him.


Someone drew a picture. It looks like me in the morning.


I found a Chanterelle! Several, actually. They were delicious!

musings

I've been reading a lot of anarchist literature lately and coming across a lot of fun ideas. I'm doing a speech about it for speech class on Tuesday, and have been pulling quotes for a little pamphlet. This is definitely one of my favorite, and I thought I'd pass it on...

“Be wary of culture and tradition: never accept them as given but rather choose what is right for you at the time and reject the rest. Keep a clear awareness of how your behavior, attitudes, and ideas are shaped by the culture or cultures around you. Perhaps you enjoy the more laid-back and romantic approach to life that is a part of Spanish culture, but you find their attitudes towards women despicable; or perhaps you appreciate the passionate music and social criticism of punk “culture” but find that the dancing and funny clothing styles do nothing for you. Take what works for you and leave the rest – then there will be no danger that you will be lead astray by any of them. To quote Robin Hood: “The supermarket of ideas, like any supermarket, is fit only for looting.”

The inside of said book.

A picture I took for my friend Erin's "I See London, I See France" exhibit. It was a reference to how my grandma Sally would put underwear on her head whenever a bat got in her house. 

My beloved roommate Daylene, cooking on our FIRST VEGAN DINNER NIGHT!

We made GREEN SOUP with fresh collard greens, mushrooms and veggie broth. It was AMAZING.

apologies

Hi everybody!
I have sad news, which is that my camera is broken. I do have some pictures from Germany that I hope to put up soon, but I'm pretty busy. I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up! Special apologies to Grandma Mary Jane and Grandpa Jude, who declared their love for my blog in my Christmas card. I won't let you down!!!
