You Are Rowlf the Dog

Mellow and serious, you enjoy time alone cultivating your talents. You're a cool dog, and you always present a relaxed vibe. A talented pianist, you can play almost anything - especially songs by Beethoven. "My bark is worse than my bite, and my piano playing beats 'em both."

You Are Bobsledding

You're not a world class athlete, but you are a world class maniac. Your need for speed could have you blazing past the finish line!

    So on Sunday I got to spend the whole day at the beach.  Excuse?  Yay capstone action.  Geology excuses are always nice ones.  Brandon and I drove out to the Olympic Peninsula (near Joyce) to take apart the Pysht formation with my rock hammer.  Mmm, so satisfying...  The tide was high so we couldn't wade the river (odd that I'd dreamt two nights before of swimming through it) so we tried to cross over a tree that had fallen the weekend before.  We crossed but then couldn't make it off of the tree.  Luckily we made a psuedo friend who owns a camp site there who told us to use his road and then to go through someone else's land.  Not idea but it worked perfectly.  The guy, Crash, was very friendly and even invited us out for prime rib and crab when summer comes.
    Anyways, rocks.  So the tide was high so we couldn't make it to where I'd collected before but that was all right.  I got a nice amount of rocks with fossils in them.  I even found the microfossils I'm looking for (now I just need way more of them!).  Hopefully we're going camping this weekend near the site so I'll go and collect a whole hell of a lot more with the help of more rock hammers attached to people.  :-P
    And I guess that's all I have to say.

So this chic? yeah, she's fake and I think that's cool.  Check it.

I've missed Ninjas and Superspies. :-p

I'm doing good, I'm doing good...but there's a lot to do so I'm freaking out...but I'm doing good.

So far a great site...

Okay, awesome awesome time home but I don't want to go back.  I'm very much looking forward to the wedding but I hate the camp.  It is my bane and doesn't jive with me being cool and happy and me and I need all that right now; I've finally started attaining it again after a year of uber (sucky) flux.  That and I'm a bastard.  Chica chica I'm sorry.  But yes, I hate the camp and I'm not even sure why but oye, the sound of kids yelling gives me a chills now and I ...well yeah, WHAA!!!!

    Okay, so hopefull plan for this upcoming year is to go to a JC.  Still need to talk to the parents which is just, well, a very scary thought.  I'm trying to get all the information together before I go and do that though so...we'll see.  I'm also a little tempted to just go home for a year and go to a JC in good old San Jose instead of up here in Washington.  Perks would be that my parents would hopefully be more understanding and I could join back in with Bethel.  I really miss going to church as often as I did and I'm missing it more as of lately.  That youth gathering, especially, really got me wanting to go back home to Bethel to participate and be a sponser and all that good stuff.  I wish I had more time to figure it out.  Okay, and the sucky part of going home would be that I'd be away from all of my Washington buddies and my cool roommates for next year.  I think it could be a really good thing though, I feel like I stray and come back and if I were home maybe I'd be back more of the time?  But man, I would miss up here so much.  Of course I can always visit, but still.  Haha, Sisto would be oh so jealous of all the time I'd get to spend with little Jack and Sarah.  Oo, and I wouldn't have to make my own food everytime I wanted to eat.  I haven't been to the grocery store for a while and am pretty much out of food right now.  There's a BBQ at a friend's house tonight which means I can delay buying food longer but I'm not sure if I'm going which means...more frozen peas and anything I can scrounge up (I have butter...and peanut butter...and jalapenos...and no tuna...etc).  Oh, and the Lokiage!  So I'll probably end up staying here but I wish I could just figure it out for certain.  And holy crap!  Not knowing which school I'm going to next year and apparently not even know which state I want to be in?!?!  Crappage.
    It's raining today.  Why?  We were having such a nice week with warmth and I could go without a sweatshirt and could even wear shorts or a skirt and it was nice.  But noooo, it had to start raining.  Maybe when I get off work in a couple hours it'll be nice again but I kind of have my doubts.  Emil says it's just been uber hot down south and I want that.  I want to go home and be in the sun and get tan (which I care about more in Washington then I do in California) and be warm and be home!!  Emil and I talked for a while a couple nights ago and we think that I should just drive home this upcoming week.  I think this sounds like a perfect plan.  I'll just make sure I come back in time for Tj and Em's wedding.  Sweetness.  Oh yeah, and back in time for that camp (bleh.).  And I could be home and go to the beach with the college youth and go to church and see the Emilage and the Sistoage and get all the stories about Europe from her in person.  But ahhh!!  Parents!!  Have to talk to the parentals but how?!  Anyone who knows me well (or possibly not even well) knows I hate confrontations!
    Okay, enough enough.  'Til later.

p.s.
    Still tempted to get a tattoo.  I have been since freshmen year and I want the Christian fish.  Any ideas of where would be a good place on the body?...if I were to act on this that is.

    I crashed a youth gathering on Saturday to hang out with Bethel folk and had a great time seeing everyone though I don't know a good chunk of the high school students.  EMP was all right but I think it was too much time spent there.  We took the tram to the mall and they had wanted to go to Pikes so I asked if they still wanted to go.  Keith, who is entering HS next year (and I'm often still convinced is 8), said that we couldn't because it was 40 miles away.  It took me a little bit to convince him that it wasn't 40 miles away, I knew where it was, I'm from this area and have been here before, and that it was in fact just a few blocks.  He still looked a little skeptical but low and behold we walked one block and could see the sign and got there soon after.  Red Robin with a group on the waterfront which was fun and tasty.  I also went to a session that night (the gathering was based at SPU...spew!!) and people from Bethel did the music.  That was great 'cause I felt like I was back at home and really made me miss Bethel.  It made me want to go to church.  Maybe I'll try out Trinity again 'cause though I didn't like ti freshmen year when I went a couple times I went earlier this year and it seemed better.  We'll just see.
    Other stuff...thinking about going to a JC next year since I'm pretty sure I won't be graduating on time from PLU.  Maybe a year at a JC and then a year back at PLU?  Plus, if I do this I wouldn't have to take a class next summer term which I really don't want to do since I'm craving to visit home at least once before school starts and then I could even go on the Bethel college trip to Cayucos.  Mmmm, beach...plus I can get some natural color back.  Screw Washington Pasty!!
    And of course a lot of other stuff is going on, cool and not I guess, but that's all I'm saying 'cause hunger is ruling over!

You Are 27 Years Old

27 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

    Where is everyone?  I feel out of the loop.  Oh man though, I've had a great time In Califoria.  And holy crap, Kary and I are turning 21 tomorrow.  Yay for cool brothers and a cool sister-in-law.  I just hope Pete gets off somewhat on time.  With (patrol) training and all he's kept late a lot.  Example...Sunday he got to leave work literally 7 hours after his shift ended.
    I'm feeling cool and slick and good.  I'm pumped to come back though I can't say I'm looking uber forward to that drive so please please call me sometime during the day/night on Thursday!!  Oh man, not looking forward to the weather up north.  Rain? on my return? please no.  I've been hot nearly everyday that I've been down here and my skin is far from the white that it usually holds up north.  In other words...I look normal, atleast what I think of as my normal color.  :-P
    Took dad to a movie tonight for his birthday since I'll be missing it (it's next Tues) but somehow it ended up him paying for the tickets 'cause sisto came too but then I got to buy the popcorn and drinks.  We saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith and it was very awesome.  A little jiggling of the camera reminiscent of the Bourne Supremacy but not much and the music was awesome and so were Brad and Angelina.  Highly recommended.
    So I really did mean to update this somewhat while I was down here but obviously that didn't happen.  Even within the last week when I somehow managed to get on the computer I had to give up twice in updating because I went and played with Sisto instead.  Great times with little Jack and Sarah.  Jack is very cute though obviously favors Kary.  I'm not hurt with this since Kary sees him oh so more often then I do and I'm glad he just knows my name now.  I got to spend a lot of time with them and their parents and I finally feel like I'm bonding with my brother and Christi.  I didn't feel like we didn't get along before I just felt like we were on different levels and now I'm starting to feel more equal.  With Petee I've only gotten to see him a few times which was a bummer but he has to train and study so that needs to take priority right now.
    I miss you my Washington buddies and even wanted to head home early though now I'm glad that I have stayed the whole time; it's done me well.  Oh man, and I even get to see some San Jose-ans (?) next Monday and will hopefully have some stay the night if my house is okay with it (need to check with them!!).
    Okay, even though way more has happened that I could talk about I've rambled on long enough to probably lose your attention and...whatnot.  Okay.  Bye!!  I'll see most of those who read this soon!  And, I would like to do something this weekend (and I can put a coma there if I want to!!) or this Friday...just because, well, (blush) I am turning 21 tomorrow.  Haha, yes, guess I'm just looking for some attention which I hate to ask for or something...yes, deffinately rambling right now!  GOODBYE!!!

     Stay awesome there folks!

AHHHHH!!!!!

    So I'm down in California and it's pretty awesome.  I spent my first week at the beach with Kary and the Blaiser though the latter had to leave midway.  Loki got free for at least a day and a half and Kary saw her under the house next door to us so I jumped a fence and ran down and got her.  We (Blaiser and me) didn't exactly go in the water because it was oh so cold but still good times reading on the beach, climbing rocks, and romping in the shallower water.  In geology news...I found out the huge rock (big, like nearly 1,000 ft high...I think) in Morro Bay  is actually the neck of an extinct volcano.  Very cool (if you're me) but what in the world made volcanoes go off in mid-coast California?!
     Wish I had some exciting or fun stuff to say but I don't.  I have a cold or something so that's annoying.  I am in California in the summer, I shouldn't be getting colds!  I love home, I love Califonia but I still miss up north.  This is not saying that I want to head up right now.  I'm content and not ready to leave yet but I'm guessing that when the time comes I will be.  Oh, and this is the longest time I will have been home since the summer after freshmen year.  Not exactly impressive but still.  Also, hung out with my buddy Jamie today and one of her brothers is graduating high school next Thursday and so for graduation his parents got him the new Mustang.  I mean holy crap.  They were going to get him a used car probably since Jamie was given a car when she got her license (a beetle) but still, like holy crap.
     Umm, new phone, one that works.  Where do I get free ringtones 'cause I'm not keen on birds twittering or cats meowing from my phone.
     Okay, I'm sidetracked; Law and Order is playing (beacuse I'm Tivo-ing them all and having mini-marathons nearly everyday) and I...I get sidetracked easily.  Sorry this was all jumpy but ah well.  Give me a call if you're lonely or bored...I'm here.

     ><>

    I took what is probably my hardest final this semester so now I'm...well now I just feel beat.  I have a feeling (I'm sure James does too) that the Paleo final tomorrow will be harder but it's for a completely different reason then why the Structural Final was hard today.  I don't know what that is right now because, as stated, I'm beat.  It's not because I hated the subject because last night studying I realized that I in fact thought that structural geology is pretty cool. Maybe it's 'cause Paleo is interesting and all but it's nearly pure memorization whereas with most geology I can memorize a concept and use it on any number of different folds or rivers or what have you.  With Paleo, an ammonitic cephalopod is an ammonitic cephalopod.
    But now, of course of course, I'm back to studying.  It has been a very productive semester for me, more so then in a long while, and I would hate to break the habit now.

    So thought I'd post some tests that I've taken in the past. I really ought to be working on my map for Structural but it's really hard so I'll do this briefly. Hey, at least I'm not taking the time to take new tests.
     Haha, this first one cracks me up.  While taking it I kept picturing this big friendly purple fuzzy dude.  So there you go.

Big Friendly Giant You are 15 %monstrous and are filled with 10 %Evil!

Congrats on being the biggest pussy out of all the monsters. You are the star of a Roald Dahl book. You befriend Orphans and battle evil giants. Honestly, what the hell is wrong with you? Seriously, all the other monsters give you wedgies and swirlies.

And he's my favorite too. I'll have to put up other results later (like for instance apparently if I were a board game I'd most likely be Candyland). Good luck on finals and don't forget to destress every so often! ><>

                   All I want to do is go to California.

     Okay, so not as well as Brandon but, hey, I survived and that's really all that matters, eh? Though I'm assuming that with all the gear I took (since I kept choosing all of the above) if I lost my truck I'd weigh about a ton.

Official Survivor Congratulations! You scored 68%!

Whether through ferocity or quickness, you made it out. You made the right choice most of the time, but you probably screwed up somewhere. Nobody's perfect, at least you're alive.

    Reading a religious book right now and it's good and very interesting.  One part is ammusing that while the Jews were waiting for their Messiah for however long the majority would reject anyone who claimed or was thought to be that one.  Of course as a Christian I believe He did actually come but dang, if I were a Jew today or back then I would deffinately call anyone claiming to be the Messiah a fraud.  Stuff like that just doesn't happen in your lifetime which makes it rather hard to be the Messiah if everyone ever is of the same mind.  Who could blame those who didn't believe?  I'd like to think, though, that if I were back then I might take an interest in Him and go to hear him and then be touched because, well, He is God, how couldn't you be but I realize now that if I were in an outlying city it would be rather doubtful that I would take the trek to see someone who is blaspheming.  Let's just hope I'd live near Him then, eh?  But, as I think I've typed before, I don't believe that Christianity is the only religion whose (or who's?  I keep meaning to learn the difference!) people are going to heaven.  I believe in Jesus and that He is the son of God and is God himself but I also don't doubt that other great men in other religions did not exist.  But, thankfully, I don't have to worry or think too hard on all this seeing as I believe it will all work out in the end.  Yay, worry less Beth (at least in the long run; screw finals!).  Let's all enjoy the afterlife, or our reincarnation, or whatever you'd like and whatever will be.  I'm not worried 'cause I don't have to be.  Ramble, ramble, blah blah, etc.  But really, this is all what I think and I like it.
    More importantly (not really at all) if you all turn into zombies I'm going to leave and apparently murder all your asses!  (Hmm, that doesn't go along with my no killing belief at all.  Ah, hopefully I won't have to be finding out how that all works out.)

    With me, it's just aweso.  ><>
