i can't help myself, this is too ridiculous

the toilet seat for people who need a little more space.

also, for all of you who cum in your ice cream to protect it from thieves (you know who you are). here is a better solution.

allergies are a miserable thing.

wow, i am ultra allergic to bellingham. i love the place, but it just makes me sneeze. it's too bad because i am perfect in walla walla. sneeze free. but walla walla is a miserable place and bellingham is the most fabulous place on earth. today my mommasita is competing in the big ski-to-sea race. and, of course, it is lebn and my 4 year anniversary, which is pretty crazy to think about.

only 3 more days until berkeley. also craziness. recently i have had this feeling that "rebrees" isn't a person at all, and they are trying to scam me for all my money. i will fly down, take the bus to the address, and it will be an empty lot. i hope not. we'll see i guess.

okay, boring post, bye now.

reading for pleasure...weird

oh man, not having a million obligations jam packed into a day is lovely. yesterday was "the exercise day". i ran good ol' lake padden, played by far the most intense double pickleball match of all time against the sehome tennis coach (Giller, who is a professional badminton player and as crazy as that sounds is about as crazy as she really is), and walked around the lake. this may not seem like a lot of you, but i am a pretty lazy kid in school. the extent of my exercise consists of a little bouldering and 45 minutes of aerobics every other day. i was exhausted. i went to bed at 10:30 and woke up at 12:45. a record for sure. then i built a beautiful omelet and chilled out until 2. next you ask? sunbathing and reading on the deck. it was a strenuous day, i know. tv is a horrible, horrible thing. it's as addicting as heroin, i could watch that shit everyday. i can't wait to get away from it. but, it's fun to see the fam. maggie and i are going to attempt to run again today. if i don't go i fear that i will be perpetually sore from yesterday.

now for some fun quotes (yes!)

#1: dedicated to she who shall not be named. you know who you are.

Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has left to hold on to.

Dolores Claiborne

#2 dedicated to Allison Calhoun. you gots to love richard feynman.

If in some catalysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?
Everything is made of atoms.

Richard Feynman

sitting in a ferry terminal...

without a ferry to catch. just a small detour on my journey back to bellingham.

finals are done, i am 21, lebn graduated, lovechild played their last concert ever, said good-bye to dylan eder (my favorite new friend of all time), bought a bed, whitman college said good-bye to tom cronin, all of the oh-so-coveted rain tix were discarded, mackenzie was late, mothers are pushy, baby cousins like to cry, and good-byes are never easy.

yup.

hey tony drunk man

bedtime for you crazy man. you are done. i am cutting you off.
four waters and you are cut off.

kelly

thank you very much

watching a movie

"But don't you have a final tomorrow kelly?" you might ask.

yes, i do, but i am done. done with pchem. done with the sci bi.
done with work. done with being a junior.

ready to be a senior. ready to never take a real science class for
the rest of my college career. ready to be 21.

less than twenty-four hours to go...

now i am stuck

So, inorganic is over and i feel great. yesterday i went on strike and took the day off. it was fantabulous.

bathing suits+beer+a vessel+ankeny = a great afternoon.

movies capped off the night. it wasn't great, but it was better than work and that is all that counts. this morning was going to be back to the grindstone at 7. however, i woke up at 10:30. made breakfast at 11:30. threw a round of disc golf at 12:30. and now it is two. how did this happen. now the blog to cap of my lack of enthusiam for school. there is just one test left on tuesday. it seems so far away. but so close. now i am in a dangerous limbo place. oh well. just have to wait it out, it will on be over in four days and then... well then... i don't know what will happen.


this is kinda the theme of my semester

i miss frogs

frogs make the greatest sounds right before you are going to bed. i went home the other day (again, think kelly language, this could be a year ago, a month again, or a week ago) and i forgot all about how fantastic little croaky frogs are. i slept with a big face smile across my face. now, i am back in walla walla and no frogs are around. it is a bummer. but, you know what they say, with frogs comes mold, and with mold comes sneezes.

and with that i want to take a moment to say a few words, a shout out, to my friends back in bellingham:


so, i participated in beer mile yesterday. i was searching for a great and scandelous outfit to run the four laps because straight up naked just seems boring. however, i couldn't really think of anything and was beginning to lose hope. THEN out of nowhere bridget says she is going to run with suspenders. it's brilliant and i snatched up the plan like candy flying out of a recently burst pinata (insert tilde above the n). Everything was a go, ductape was put in the appropriate places, rainbow suspenders were pinned to my underwear, and alcohol was digesting in the appropriate location. Devon was sporting a tie dye full body suit, and tony was working three plastic safeway bags. we were off.

i didn't think about the running part that much, so i didn't realize the EXTREME amount of chafing that my poor fragile nipples had underwent until the next morning. bad freaking news. it kinda ruined the glory. but, whatever, i won't make the same mistakes next year, and that is what really counts. i am in college to learn right, well there was a lesson i will remember for years to come.

frogs and boobs, it doesn't get much better than that.

i rock at this writing everday thing!

Things I would rather be doing now and for the following week:
(top5)

#1 LSD
#2 playing dodgeball (at hitting kato in the face, just kidding, i would hit tony in the face, duh!)
#3 lay on the beach and get a tan because the sun would be out and smiling

#4 eat cake with spice drops made by elizabeth dannen (not the spice drops, the cake)
#5 being happy

thunder and lightning...oh so frightening!

Not really... but the lights are flickering and the booms shake the house and that is neat.


lightning man thinks it's neat

right...

so, megan murray has a fantastic idea. she made a pact to write to this silly thing called a blog every 1-3 days. that way it won't get all boring and lame. i have tried to steal this idea.

funny thing for the day:

i found this on some blog in another language when i searched for "zit". I was actually searching for zits, the comic, but i clicked enter too quick.

anyhow, i am currently attempting to create a paper for my drugs course. the material is really neat. peyote is the subject, and let me tell you people are crazy. it cracks me up that some drugs just randomly got put in the Schedule I category (a drug of this Schedule is characterized as having no medical utility and high potential for abuse). LSD is there too. It makes me laugh because OBVIOUSLY acid and other hallucinogens don't have a high potential for abuse. no one uses peyote everyday and if they do, that is a little crazy. white people are crazy too. the arguement for why local indian tribes shouldn't use peyote is that it is "interfering quite seriously with the work of missionaries." Another quotation along the same lines, "The Sabbath is the principal day for our preaching services and if the Indians are first made drunk on mescal [peyote] they cannot then be benefitted by the gospel."

here is a picture of one of these cute little peyote buttons:

New Post

That is what I think I am creating...

right, so yesterday (which in kelly language means any point in time in the past) i was up in bellingham and i met the woman whose craft blog i have a link to at the saturday market. it was pretty funny. she is spinning her own yarn today, and it is amazing. the shades were to beautiful. i really wanted to buy some, but i am low on the dough, so i held my wallet tight inside my jacket and walked away (after introducing myself of course).

other news, more boring, but news for me, i am almost done with this advanced lab course! i filled out my evaluation for templeton today and i just killed the class. it has been awful and i am nothing but joyously overwhelmed to be done with it. elizabeth and i are almost over the proposal hump and moving towards the presentation. after that, i am a free and happy woman. i would like to take a day to appreciate how great it will be to never take that course again after i finish (although i fear that grad school is going to be pretty similar to this course, which is a bummer). maybe i will drink a beer in celebration at the chem kegger after the pchem final next week (what what!).

last week my grammpa passed away. he was the most fantastic grammpa on the face of the planet and i couldn't believe that it was really happening for the first bit. i love him so much, and am going to miss him like no one can imagine. however, i try and think about how great he was and how many fantastic memories that i will always have. he was a large influence in my life and most people don't have the chance to say that...

love you grammpa
