this word is me, freebird, the simple things. I'm relishing in my gifted life, relishing in the life lessons I am being presented, oh and I happen to actually like relish, for that matter anything pickled is BOMB. pickles, pepperchinis, olives, and relish (which is pickled cucumber).
relishing..
DONE with round one of midterms. Relishing in my caffeine overdose, letting my brain come back down to reality and let the creative juices flow, and not the structual/ functional parts. Relishing in the feeling of working hard and finally, relaxation.
My boyfriend is rad. Plain and simple. I'm so not mush, and him of all people know that. I'm not one to say those lovey words. But none the less, I'm.. Stoked. Wow, ANYWAYS..
He can draw.. I can't.. so he draws me stuff..
nickname are cool, he calls me "Trips".
He happens to be Australian, when we go out, girls hit on him all the time and he leads them on. I think it's hilarious, because he's the most humble person I know. Yay. I relish in the fact that my boyfriend is way better then yours.
my little plants. Grow plants grow! Although its not cucmbers to make relish that I'm growing. I'm still growing something and growing something is so under-rated, its exciting to noticed something change and grow, a bit of symbolism here?
Wilahs gift: I nannied for three lovely girls while in Australia, the youngest gave me a "birthday" present before I left and said I had to wait until my birthday, well I opened it a bit early, and I LOVE IT. the innocence and beauty of a child moves me beyond words. I relish my drawing :)

Blue Like Jazz: The Movie
'Blue Like Jazz' The Movie - The Scanner - Patrol Magazine
Posted using ShareThis
One of my favorite books of all time. I'm so pumped. But hopefully "the book was better then the movie" won't happen once again.
"The book was better the the movie" PRIME example:
-The time travelers wife
Such an amazing book, but the movie did a horrible job or showing Claire and Henrys extensive story, not to mention how much they didn't go into detail about this "disorder" and his daughter. Frickkkkk I was disappointed with that movie.
But anyways. SOOOO amped about this movie. Donald Miller is hysterical and I'm sure he'll make the producers keep his humor in the movie, not to mention his theory on God. Did I mention he is from Portland?? I'm freaking out. Can't wait.

My humble abode
After almost a year of living out of a back pack, sleeping with 16 people in a room occupying a top bunk in a hostel or sharing living quarters with 7 people at one time (5 of them being guys who neglected the kitchen), I was so ready to have my own space again. No room mates even, just my own place. I manage to score a RAD old studio downtown on the park blocks and its freakin adorable. Other then the fact I hear hear the Jesus guy rant about all of us going to hell and no dishwasher, its perfect. After a few Ikea runs my place is tip top.
I love the rounded entry ways.
Where I lay my head, complete with boyfriends flag.
Running quite a bit lately, but nothing like some encouragement from Ben MacKinnon and our eXtreme fitness days. Having fun while working out? We know the secrets.
My travel photography, the blank one is my Thailand photo and is currently being printed.

my view, I'm a fan

pop culture
I have never been one of those people that are afraid to talk in front of people. So I tend to be one of those people in class that answers the discussion points professors make. I don’t necessarily do it because I’m really excited about that topic, more so because I feel bad that the professor gets crickets when he asks the class something he finds important. In every class there are those 3-5 people that generally talk a lot in class, and I am always one of those.
Well in this particular class I find myself actually talking because it’s interesting, who would have thought. I’m taking a University Studies class that actually doesn’t suck, called popular culture. Today we covered the youtube, facebook and how appropriate blogging worlds. Facebook particularly is truly our alter ego, we post photos that we want the world to see, status updates about how exciting our lives are and offering a little box were people can confirm whenever we are projecting. It’s a social networking, a new level of friendship and communication because talking in person nowadays is just to awkward right? haha.
This pop culture of social networking via the internet has some unbelievably good things coming from it. for starters.. the hug campaign. The hug campaign started with a man named Juan Mann, he had returned home after traveling and there was no one to greet him in the air port. While everyone else from his plane was showered with love he wrote "Free hugs" on a piece of cardboard and the rest is history. As most of you know he posted this on youtube and become famous overnight. I came in contact with one of these great people in Pikes Places in Seattle and one of my favorite photos of all times thanks to Micah Parson..
Something that really bothers me on the other hand is how popular culture doesn’t always coincide with what is being represented. My two PET PEEVES..
1. the word “gay”.
When someone says “that’s gay” they are intending that thing is stupid, dumb, lame etc, intending that gay people are anyone of those words. I often call people out on it when they use that word in that context. “Really, you think raised trucks are gay?” hmmm I don’t see anything homosexual about that, then people start to think a bit on what they are actually saying. Not only do I support gay rights in every sense, but there are a lot of people I care about in my life that happen to be gay. So please, think before popular culture overtakes your vocabulary
2. The representation of the peace sign
I know two people in this world (proud shout out to Allison Suvanto and Zach Stutzman) that wear peace sign paraphernalia and truly fit the meaning (as much as humans can). I once witnessed a girl with a peace sign necklace on, order a latte at starbucks, only to scream at the batista that her latte clearly had milk in it as opposed to soy. Is this a sign of peace?
On conclusion, I ask to think a bit before you take up a trend.
