two things, maybe three.

yesterday i met up with madi and dani.

we spent six hours together.

s.i.x. 

it was honestly the best first blogger date

i've ever been on.

it felt like i was catching up with friends

i hadn't seen for the summer. 

we laughed, we talked, i cried.

we quoted 30 rock and baby mama,

and discussed how much we missed old disney.

we watched youtube videos and brainstormed the most

incredible ideas that i'm hoping with all my heart become reality. 

maybe it's weird to other people,

but the connections we make in this little world are real.

seeing madi and dani in real life wasn't weird at all.

in fact, it felt completely normal.

the only negative was having to cram so much

life-sharing into a measly six hours. 

madi's going on a mission in three weeks.

she'll be gone for 18 months and

the only communication we'll have is 

crayon drawing letters that depict my feelings 

on grey's and parenthood. 

and while dani will still be here

and communication via the interwebz can happen, 

i'll be gone. married. moved.

but the great thing is,

i know when we meet up again,

it will be just like it was last night.

three old friends catching up like crazy

and bonding over bacon. 

i'm too lazy to change the title

and i said this post would have two topics.

but the main reason i'm posting this video is because i'm obsessed with it.

and just so you know, every time i hear this song,

 i stretch out my hands like the kitty does during the "sail!" part. 

it makes the song so much better. 

observations/facts/advice gathered from life after a food coma.

watching experts rock it on ifly

is more exciting than watching a beginner.

chocolate chip cookie dough

is the best ice cream.

no question.

i'm a natural when it comes to skee-ball.

five tickets, baybaaay.

woot woot.

never get pizza with lettuce on top,

even if avocados are involved.

the eating process is tricky and results in

lettuce falling, tomato face attacks, 

panicked faces, and non-stop teasing.

christmas lights are beautiful.

they're even better when covering every tree, shrub, 

nativity scene, and especially in the form of luminaries. 

apparently i talk like bill cosby 

when i get excited about hot chocolate.

in my defense, 

it was really good hot chocolate. 

watching the led zeppelin lazer show in a dome theatre 

will make you seasick. 

but in a good "holy cow, my eyes are seizing" way.

when people watching an awkward first date,

try not to make eye contact with the girl

you know doesn't want to be there.

she will send you mixed signals.

hate rays, pleading glances,

fake laughter, hate lazers,

and death glares.

poor thing.

at least she got dessert...

it'll all be worth it when you reach 1:16.

i am torn.
so so torn.
i can't decide if this is adorable or horrifying.

team adorable
it's a baby singing "baby."
he knows what the words mean and when to break it down.
he knows all the words.

team horrifying
it's a baby singing "baby."
he knows what the words mean and when to break it down.
he knows all the words.

on a side note, i'm done with finals.

woot wooooot.

so tell me something good.

remember how i got accepted into my major

and just about shat a panda i was so excited?

well, i just found out that i got accepted into the desk i wanted.

i will now be a reporter for the arts and entertainment section

at the du.

{that's what us print folk call the paper}.

woot wooooot!

ssss

it's official. 

i've changed my facebook name.

from here on out i shall be called

basilisk potter.

so let it be written, so let it be done.

can i get a woot woot for the second

ten commandments reference on my blog?

latvia is for lovers.

oh.em.gee.

so i just discovered the "stats" tab on blogger.

and i look what i found.

 

i made it to lavtia!

woot woooot!

grranted it's only one view, but still!

i've never felt so universal.

well except that one time at band camp 

when i was the only girl who could make out longer than two minutes without needing an inhaler.

...just kidding...

i never went to band camp.

it's also comforting to know that i'm being stalked in the motherland as well. 

later skater{z}.

sleepy time

yesterday my friend/roommate bethanie burst into the living room and said, 

"ohmygosh!! i forgot to tell you!!"

slightly startled i replied, 

"well, tell me!"

she then went on to tell me the following story:

"you sleep talked again last night.

in spanish...

you were talking so fast i had no idea what you were saying.

then you said 'dos' so i knew it was spanish.

and when you were done you said 

woot wooooooooot!"

coolest.story.ever.

now i know that i sleep talk and apparently dream in espanol.

aaaaaaand even cooler is the fact that

i am so obsessed with baby mama that i even

woot wooooot in my sleep!!!

healed at last.

update on the disease.
