    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.

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!!!!

Home Home Home Home Home

2005-07-22T18:02:56Z

    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.

2005-07-12T18:42:52Z

    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!!!!!

Sorry for the Ramble!!

2005-06-03T02:43:41Z

    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.

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.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 39% on survivalpoints

Link: The Zombie Scenario Survivor Test written by ci8db4uok on Ok Cupid

    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. ><>

    Definately, definately getting hard for me to concentrate these last few weeks of school. I'm getting so pumped about summer and going home and beaching it (though people really need to get back to me on that latter if they're coming!) that I'm relaxing and reading a good book and I guess not concerning myself as much as I should about homework and labs and tests. Though I am concerned. I have a lab test this Friday and a couple other lab tests that I wil get this week to work on. With these I am not uber concerned, especially Oceanography. It's great with oceanography because the geo part of it is mostly repititious from stuff I've learned before and then with the bio aspect I am getting a lot of that doubly engrained in me from Paleontology without having to know as much. Granted I keep thinking this and keep getting not as high scores as I would like but it's still comforting.
    So today at work I really should have been working on some Structural Geology but no, I'm reading a book that is not needed for school. Yes, much much more entertaining.
    I have been making an attempt since probably spring break to dress up more for school and whatnot. This isn't saying that I'm heeled up and sparkly every day or any day for class but, for instance, today I got up before work to shower, did my hair, and am wearing khakis and eye-liner...holy crap, eye-liner?! Haha, yup, a little make-up action not as quickly equiped as my apply with finger silver eye-shadow that I've been wearing on and off since sometime in high school. But I do like dressing more instead of just in baggy clothes, sweatshirts, and dieing-holed pants. I've never worn skirts this often probably ever in my life and I like skirts. I would like more clothes, mmmm, clothes and especially shoes but dang-it my feet are annoying so those shoes are always wanting to be a couple sizes away from what they can fit or look normal in (if normal works?). Zappos.com would be my hero if I ever used them and I hope to someday seeing as they have every size imaginable. I really don't think my feet look abnormal, they just...are. Ahh, yes.
    Okay, foot talk and homework talk, kind of a dopey post but screw it, I don't want to be doing the hw. Good luck with the finals Lutes and whoever else is nearing them right now.

POT USA

    So pretty slick. One of my geo major buddies has a band and played at a battle of the bands last night. I'd been meaning to hear him for a while (last time couldn't 'cause place was 21 and over) so I got the chance. It was my second concert ever and I still don't like concerts. I get tired of standing and if the band sucks I'd much rather be doing something else then standing there with my ears being destroyed. So there were 6 bands and half of them were just loud, yelling, talking (why?!), tortured youth who aren't old enough to have such sad and angry looks on their faces. The other two bands were actually all right but they were also not happy and were yelling but I could understand a good chunk of what they were saying. Screw music where you can't understand what the hell they're saying because they just don't feel like enunciating. And also (:-P) if you're yelling so much you'll only be able to play like one show a week because your vocal chords have to take the rest of the week to recover!! Ah well, just not my thing I guess. So blah blah blah, anyways. Jeremy's band was sweet. They had variety, I understood every work that he sang, his voice was slick (like "holy crap, Jeremy can sing?!"), there was an electric ukulele for one song and they were the happiets out of all the bands which really wouldn't take much but there you go. And now they get to open for the Presidents of the United States of America which, nicely, is his favorite band. BBQ (mmmm, hotdooooogs) at his place afterward and hanging out with some folks I know and lot I don't and it was a lot of fun. Christen and I stole his bed when it started to get late because we were nicely falling asleep on a chair and a couch respectively. User malfunctions with the alarm and whatnot so I missed the house cleaning this morning which I felt pretty bad about but I get to sweep and mop so that's good. It was just... so awesome 'cause he's freakin' opening for POT USA. I wanted to go to the concert, especially seeing as tickets are only $12 for students but I'm driving down to Cali that day so no go. Oye, but sweet sweet sweet.
    Other news? I'm doing much better about the whole J-term thing. Still sucks ass but, I mean, it's cool, there's nothing I can do about it much more then the e-mail I sent so why fret?
    Um, so I'm at work so now I'm going to read...yeah, but really, I am 'cause it's not a school book! Oh, and check out they're site and they're music at... lastpeace.com
    Okay, okay, I'm going!! Peace dudes.                           ><>

    So damn, it's been a little while. Not as long as Mark, the punk, but there you go. I'm not including Nate and TJ in this since they never kept up as often as the other. Darr, on the other hand, props dude. You keep up and have awesome things to put down. Also, you should bring that book over 'cause even I think all those pictures are hot.
    So anyways, do you ever just feel cocky? I do. Sometimes I'm just all uber confident and awesome. It's happens a lot when I'm walking and not 'cause I feel hot or anything. Today I'm walking to work wearing my zip-offs and a beanie and, thankfully, some other stuff (<---i.e. the unhotness) listening to music and just thinking, "...yeah..." I walk around all erect with a smirk on my face almost strutting. I strut sometimes, I don't really mean to, but it happens. In Utah when some of us got cowboy hats I noticed that when I wore mine I had a bit of a Beth swagger. Ah well, that's life and it amuses me which is, of course, very important.
     Don't know why but I looked up cocky in google images and this is the first image that came up. It's...interesting and amusing I guess. Also, I'm lucky this and other similar (non-scary) picures came up.

    Updates on other things...I got rejected for both my J-term classes. Second choice was backpacking in New Zealand for a month and first choice was going to Antartica. I was very bitter last night. Everyone going on that trip was a punkass and especially the teacher. I reasoned it out to myself tell me that I'm not supposed to be doing either or those things at this time in my life. That there is something else out there I'm supposed to do. You know?...let's get all peacefull like and thing this. Yeah, but still doesn't change the fact that THIS SUCKS!! and I wanted to go to Antartica sooo much!! Ice breaking boats! and ice, lots and lots of ice (which I love from geo) and freaking tons of other stuff. I mean why the hell did I not get chosen?! (zening again...) but it's cool, I mean there were over double the applicants that would be able to go and I'm sure lots of them were awesome and I'm sure tons of them were Equador punkass students that he's already taken to far and away awesome spots so he knows they're cool and won't freaking believe that I'm cool too!!! So I'm bitter, but really, I'm much better today then last night. I'll go on the waitlist or freaking not go on any trip at all. I mean what the hell? Here I was starting out into my college life three years ago with all this travel in my head. This was the time Beth, this is your once in a lifetime opportunity to see the world and all the hell I've done is gone away for one J-term to Hawaii. Hawaii!! I'd been there times befoer and though it was uber awesome I didn't even need a passport!!!
     Okay, I'm done ranting...I think. But really, I am doing better. Still a little bitter, still glad that my friends (punkasses) get to go on the trip, but better and chill about it because it's not what I'm supposed to be doing in my life right now. Sometimes (it used to be all the time but it's still a good chunk) I know I'm destined for something great. I don't mean becoming president or anything because screw that and I'm sure that that's not in my future nor would I want it to be but something great is out there for me. This might be living like the coolest, happiest (once I get out of this crappy year) life that like anyone has ever lived or maybe I will get to do all the traveling I want to do. I still want to go to England and I want to travel elsewhere as well, like India! and just live in different countries. I'm single now and am going to be for a while so maybe my greatness will be Beth as an old spinster who has lived and been part of different countries all her life with the homebase of some US westcoast state. Plus the cool clothes I'd get to wear. ;-P
    Um yeah, I'm done, way too long of an entry but I don't care. (they're still punkasses.)

    Live awesomely ><>

So there's that.

Anyways, so one of my profs, my favorite prof, the Steve Benham (who I still don't know what to call so call him either, Benham, Steve, Prof, Prof. Benham, or Dr. Benham) and another dude really want me to be an aid/something else this summe for 6 weeks. It would invovle living on campus, helping teach Oceanography and labs, helping the high schoolers (who would be living on campus) study, living with them and being their RA and a lot of other work. I didn't really want to do it but now they've offered it to me without having to live on campus. It just makes this nice little chunk of my summer sound not so carefree. There are classses I want to take and time I don't want to be spending with a bunch of teenagers I don't know. As of yet they don't have anyone else so I'm worried I'm just going to be pressured into it and they need the application soon (like it was due last Friday and I'd said no then...).
On the up-side, psuedo up-side, the never ending rowing camp looks to be being attempted again for this summer. The Blaiser, Hubbe, and I will run a week long rowing camp for high schoolers from the Tacoma Boys and Girls Club. We wrote a grant a year and a half ago Fall, got it, and then neer got the numbers that we needed. The grant people were nice enough to let us have another year extension so here we are again. The whole thing should go smoother since we've already been through the motions (minus the camp!) once before. Anyways, this is an up-side regarding the whole aiding thing because if this is right smack in the middle then I won't be able to do both and can then just do the camp, work here at the computer lab and take classes. I doubt I'm graduating on time anyways so not being able to take classes is also really harmfull to the whole thing. I just would much rather not be doing the whole aid thing so hopefully everything will all work out. I hate to let Benham down since he is all awesome and whatnot but there you go.

Batman
Congratulations! You scored a super 64%!

Cool, calm and powerful. Whilst your actual super abilities may not be anything too dazzling, you have earnt the respect of both friends and enemies in response to your amazing fighting skills, strategic combat and experience. Luckily you have access to the greens which can fund all your majorly cool gadgets, vehicles and weapons! Also, you're reluctant but still accepting to the idea of having a teammate/side-kick, which just makes everything a whole lotta fun, doesn't it now! On the down side, you've probably suffered some sort of trauma at a young age (that's why we don't talk to the old man near the swings, kids). Similar to the Wolverine, your past is a base for your current motivation, undertaking some kind of personal vow in search of justice. All in all though, you're one tough nut. There's not a lot of people who have the minerals to go up against you, and you're experienced enough not to get cocky and let the little things like never finding happiness get you down!
