some folks drive the bears out of the wilderness, some to see a bear would pay a fee -
but me, i just bear up to my bewildered best, and some folks even see the bear in me

i'm not dead.

I tried to update twice before now, really, i did. Here's proof:

----------------
f p s p i c 2 0 0 9 - seriously. can we come up with a more ridiculous acronym? probably not. but it is kind of keeping in the tradition of fps - ridiculous acronyms. i had a team earlier that mocked it, they had an acronym that was just like 9 letter that didn't spell anything strung together, like CCDPREONF or something. it was worse.
-----------------
I'm sorry I'm such a lame blogger. I will try to be better. Until then, i'll just
give you lots of updates. 1) Heidi went to AK for the summer. In her stead, i had a roommate from craigslist for a while (a very nice vegan named Justin), and for the past 2 months the lovely Haley has graced me with her presence. She decided to move out of AK - a wise choice, i think - and having a place to stay in Seattle for the summer helped her decide where to go. Its been fun, although pretty stressful for her i think - what with moving and then trying to find a job, and now trying to find an apartment for October. 2)
-----------------

I saved both of those in drafts and never went back to finish them...........

SO LATELY ive been sick. I might even have had Swine Flu. But it was just like a cold, so i don't know. but i didn't go to work for two days, and instead sat around coughing and having sore eyelids and a strange stomach disposition.

- and i started kind of working for Angelo at his consulting tech company, but we're still just kind of testing it out.



- and i have not been watching hardly any movies. which is sad. Last night i watched Monsieur Ibraham, which was awesome and reinstilled my love of Omar Sharif because he's adorable at every age.












- i still have been dancing a lot, but not as much as before, which is sad.

- i'm writing fanfiction again, which is HARD but interesting and challenging and i kind of like it because of that, it feels like a good creative exercise for me or something.

- oh and GLEE. soooooo great.

- finished my first set of FPS packets for the year, which was fun. I'm also lead evaluator for the middle division this year, which is interesting. Mostly it means i just write an article for the newsletter after every topic on how students in my division seem to be doing. My first article went pretty well, but i think it was a bit loooooong (imagine that, me being verbose, gee)

- best thing of late: held the most kick-ass crazy pre-halloween dork party EVER. we read Macbeth entirely by candelight. the activities list:

::: dance party to No Kids / milling ::: MACBETH ::: dance party #1 - beat it ::: MACBETH ::: dance party #2 - "swing" dancing, the madison, spontanious improvisational dance line (a la grease) ::: predator cake ::: MACBETH (with: armor, gay siward, lady macbeth is gender confused, monica nelson voices, redneck & schwarzennegar murderers) ::: dance party ::: glow sticks ::: glow stick ring toss around beer bottle game ::: glow stick dance party in the dark ::: fitting into the bathroom ::: making glow stick shapes and animals and taking pictures ::: weird pictures on the couch ::: weird pictures with our heads ::: weird pictures of leg zippers ::: leg wrestling tournament ::: stick thing tournament ::: 17 again


- fell in love with an amazing gay makeup artist on youtube, spent too much money on makeup, did lots of fun crazy makeup stuff for real halloween.



- and then i got sick. thats been it. yay i updated! aren't you proud?
