Oh ho ho hohohoho

Good week. GOOD WEEK. For a multitude of reasons but one in particular.
It's hot as F out here again BUT, soon I will be back in Seattle/Shoreline for about an hour then go to Orcas to see the Family. If you want to see me while I'm there let me know. I'm keeping it on the down low due to the brevity of my stay so, you all loyal blog readers get first dibs
I'm trying to keep it together but I'm losing control of my limbs

'bout to get REAL

Well, I'm headed to SeaTac around Noon. Should arrive in Tucson at 8:45pm.

(We've a layover in Vegas. WOO WOO WOO)

Crazy. Town.

Thanks to everyone for coming out on Friday night! We filled and destroyed the College Inn. YES. My friends love beer.

I haven't read my yearbook yet. I know most of you don't believe that I haven't yet to which I say y'all don't know nothin' bout me. I was most tempted yesterday though as I was packing it into my carry on. Maybe I'll wait until I'm alone in Tucson before I read it. Maybe I'll gorge on words before the plane takes off. WE SHALL SEE.

I'll miss you Seattle. You being moody in weather. Your mood usually being Seasonal Affective Disorder. You with your infestation of Californians, it's okay Seattle, we all make mistakes. You with your housing of all my friends who have miraculously restrained themselves from punching me in the face for so many years. I'll miss you all....well, most of you (you know who you are. *Fist shake*)

The high in Seattle the past few days has been the low in Tucson. Here's to my last sub 65 day! See you suckers in the sun!

Welcome to my new Blogball game!

Friday June 18th Seattle

Sittin ' in my increasingly empty apartment with BROOKE JAMBOREE who always seems to be around when I'm packing.
(Also it's not possible to say or write this particular BROOKE's name without imagining it in all caps. I imagine a lot of things in all caps though.)


WELCOME TO MY NEW BLOGGGGGG
Lot's of peeps want to keep up with the haps so I'm gonna try and write this blog thing so that I don't fill your inbox with a bazillion pages of emails. Also this is the age of social networking. Email is so 2001.

Oh man I'm gonna miss my little apartment. It's the tiniest thing in the world but it's the first time I really lived by myself and not just mostly by myself like winter quarter in the dorms when my roommate was never around except at like 3 am whenever I had to work early or popping corn to cover another, more illicit, scent which only resulted in the room smelling like socks.
Good times!
Moral: I love living by myself. I'm never going back.

My apartment in Tucson is gonna be 3 times the size of this one. It has doors! and closets! and a dishwasher

I got super sun burnt at graduation both from the sun and from a boiling embarrassment for our ASUW president (Were you high during the grad speech? Really bro? Go dawgs?) and now it's starting to peel. It looks like I have leprosy on my neck. So much for that tan. It wasn't so much a tan as it was skin that had atrophied. I am SO PREPARED for the Tucson sun.

I should probably buy some sunscreen...eventually

I received my work schedule for the first week of my job. Most of it is awesome training on things like WILDERNESS FIRST AID and going to MUSEUMS for CULTURAL TRAINING. Also plant identification. I'm gonna ace it.
It also says several times. Meet at Helibase, Tour of Helibase, Set up Helibase
HELIBASE?
HELIBASE = HELICOPTERS
HELIBASE = IRENE IN HELICOPTERS!?
HELIBASE = BEST EVER?

Oh man, helicoptering in to a remote location to do invasive removal would be just about the most bad ass thing ever.
Also totally unreasonable for a government plant removal job. A single helicopter drop probably costs as much as an entire decade of this projects budget.
But I can dreeeeeeeaaaammmmmm
Aprox 48 hours until Tucson.

Also, should I totally buy this Jeep? (The answer is yes)

Also the photo above is pretty much what I expect the Saguaros to look like
