science fiction

scientific facts about my new career as a a pro mountain biker:

• learning to switch to an easier gear shouldn't have taken me until the way back...i had alot on my mind...like mostly yelling about how scary it was and that i didnt like it(only the first bit well the not liking it part)

• neither should locking a leg and not putting all my weight on my tailfeather no matter much junk is protecting my trunk

• said tailfeather is already displaying its' displeasure with bluish purple bruises...just take my word for it

• darci and julie are the only people i will learn things with that scare me ...its a comfort/trust thing ....and im not exagerating i hate learning new things in areas i know im self concious about from people i know or infront of people...not that i dont learn from people...anyways

• when darci was teaching me about the biking 101 lowdowns in the parking lot we knew we were in trouble when i couldnt make it five feet over the pebbles in the parking lot...

• needless to say she wins most patient mountain biker award..she was such a good sport...and i think riding behind her fearless self kept me going cuz i just kept thinking she looked cool ya know..the girls i get most jealous of are the ones who can do all those cool things you know? like they go surf and ride with the boys....oh coordination you are so attractive..and elusive

• i win most improved award ...i went from being the worst mountain biker in the world to maybe not the worst...i am basing this scale on the assumption some other 26 year old girl has never ridden a bike and i'm probably way better then her....

• i didn't get one cool battle wound despite falling into a bush ...and darci wouldnt scratch my face with a branch

• i loved it...it terrified me...but i loved it ...but it terrified me but also i loved it

and i can now add this to the list of things i think im good at cuz i've kinda done it or watched a movie about it or watched other people do it (ex. basketbal,(michael jordan videos)l softball,(league of thier own)...mountainbiker extrodinaire...

i couldn't pick a favorite rap b-day lyric...so go ahead and pick yours

i thought these were very appropriate alomost bday pictures...apparently my brother and i had no shame of stealing other peoples bday wishes...and it got kinda cut off but his cheeks were definately puffed in the first one also

26...kinda freaking out...not quite ready for this one

my ages keep coming despite the fact i haven't quite caught up with where i think i should be with them

also these pictures made me realize my bday wish this year would be to please have my 5 year old nose back...please...

per jane's advice*

best of intentions: so are you dating anyone?
me: no not really
best of intentions: how is it that you never seem to be dating anyone?
me:oh you know, i'm not a very healthy communicator...been kinda dating out of my league...and i hate brushing my hair sooo....
...
...
...
best of intentions: well you look great
...
....
*unless she does not want to claim as advising me to say things like this being as she probably may have given me the benefit of the doubt i wouldn't actually respond with any of the options we joked about....

sometimes, alot of the time...

dating me can look like this (hair subject to change)

maybe something i should keep to myself till someones stuck but when do i ever make that choice...must be well fed and hydrated for a successful relationship...mostly fed

.
i was cleaning out my memory cards and found this and starting laughing...i remember this day and remember having this picture taken and laughing when we saw it and hearing what a familiar face this was...cute earring though huh.

.
i have a ton of catching up to do in here...i have been having adventures and fun things happening but am never updating on here...mostly just beach pools sun and exersize, babies, babysitting, preparing nurseries and hiking and cooking...yup,i said cooking. with a small side of job hunting...this weekend i am head limo bound (first limo ever and such a dream) with a fun group of girls to l.a. to see the play dream girls for emily's girl portion of her birthday extravaganza...which is many a post of its own... i cant wait and promise to start updating on here...pinky swear

.

and in my own defense that face is usually followed by this one to make up for it....

so lets call it even

i claim temporary

i have all sorts of uppers to post
but right now im overtired


and i only just figured out i am grumpy cuz i have been googling and blog stalking and looking at visual lovelies hoping to get inspired...however they are just hurting

and now i am real grossed out, and severely self underwhelmed and covetous...as soon as i go to bed i will be fine but im like a two year old who is overtired and refuses to believe sleep will fix it ...and that instead i should blog it? of all the things i have been doing this is what i blog?
don't worry i get the same way when i am hungry...but wayyy more kamikaze
but lots of good things to post....if i was a morning person i would do it all before you got up..
add it to the list


in order to fix this (don't you dare say go to bed) i need a: 1.good book...2. shopping****...
3. nicole time..preferably all combined...oh and probably a job
.
don't comment on this...you will only encourage it
.
****if i don't buy this ring i will die...like set myself on fire and jump off a cliff...i need it or i will literally stop breathing and my organs will fall out of my body and my skin turn into ash and my lungs fill with molten lava(just before they fall out)....and this reaction has nothing to do with needing sleep and i will not go to bed and no i did not exersize today
.
in other news a boy recently told me he couldn't picture me getting mad...
oh boy oh boy...

he said it not me

a question that sometimes drives me hazy: am i or the others crazy

-albert einstein

come on pretty mama

as i swim and swim...i picture that i am here

(but not with my eyes closed...i hit my head and learned that lesson ...hard)...and that my body will look like just like that, if i just keep going....sorry i know i get obsessed with things and talk about them way to much, but kirby and i are gonna start training for a mini triathalon so it is probably not going to stop...

can u tell i miss the beach...it's in my blood...this rain is no good

i graduate on saturday!!!!!

and i kinda love the rainy stormy weather we are having right now

a little week long winter

.

jane i figured we had to amp this picture up now that everyone is copying us...

too cheesy? maybe you love it?

8.9.10. ready or not here i come

2010 you are mine...i am feeling good about this year... so here is my post of accountability

• this year is the oldest i have been...and i am living up to it ...i eat salads for meals have had taco bell once in like three weeks...i have been flossing, and getting pretty regular sleep...vitamin c is my new best friend and multi vitamins are so very 2010... add my workout goals and 2010 is gonna be one healthy couple hundred days..(workout begins when school ends)
• i finish school in like 18 days!! you have no idea...no idea...i will be done and finished something i started
• begin career...school ends job life officially begins...hello bottom but looking forward to working to the top...and im gonna ...i am so excited about all the different avenues i feel are gonna happen...i have alot of groundwork to do but i really am ready
• new career...new home?pick a city any city ...oh boy 2010 is getting daunting
• new career no more school? hello travel and a few little (not too little) accessories i have been wanting...julie get ready to throw my shower...u know which one i am talking about...and if u dont ...welp u can come to the other showers
• now i just need to learn how to channel more energy,communicate with humans and be a little more nice to them, finish a few ongoing art projects and finish some up, and drop a few bad habits, i wanna market some talents and get better at some more serious sides of progression...but thats not really blog stuff...and thats all i can think of..you know no big deal

so now i wrote it and now u saw it and even if it is too boring for anyone to read i feel like i should probably do it now or i am in trouble

do me a favor call me jerk one more time

i recently watched a documentary on a group of male doctors who firmly believed that pms was not a real thing and that women were making the whole thing up (it's like they wanted to get beat up) ...so they inject themselves with the amount of hormones that an average women expieriences during this time. the outcome?
a big sobbing catfighting dysfunctional wreck and an unexplained absence of one of these esteemed doctors who has never missed a day of work or school in his ...no phone call no nothing...so very concerned they head to his house where they find the distinguished crying in bed overwhelmed and unable to leave the house

way to call our bluff guys...can't wait to see you disprove labor pains too

now i do not even feel bad for almost..well all of the following

• eating an entire box of oreos...finished off with a pickle..plus everything in the house
• honking (a lot) at an old man going 50 in the fast lane...seriously?
• threatening the drunk girl next to me that if she picked on another girl anymore i would rip out her earrings and punch her in the face
• telling the boy in front of me "what am i supposed to say?!" when (politely)asked if he was blocking my view
• proposing to a stranger
• refusing brand newfree makeup because the girl told me my color was light..and definitely not medum-medium tan
• kissing a boy that i didn't even like...then getting mad at said boy for kissing me and never talking to him again...oh and stealing his watch(unless you read this...then sorry no idea where it went)

hey at least i wasn't crying in bed...wuss

your mom and pops i'm a corporation

dear sprint cingular worker on 3900 south,
when i proposed to you today i think it came as a little bit of a shock to you
and i just really feel like if you knew the story behind it you wouldnt have renigged on your dinner invite...at least i hope.
you see the thing is i had had those numbers in my phone for a really really long time and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to delete them...i had tried everything...and the only outcome i had gotten was somehow doubling the numbers in the phone...
so not only did i have these unwanted contacts in my personal setting but now i had them twice....
i was so grateful that it took you three tries and two other phones to get the job done...i mean how sweet to not want to make me look completely incompetent ...this not only showed your patience but not to mention your jokes were really funny and i felt we really bonded whilst on this plight together...you see im really funny too...so much in common...
but when you finally got those numbers out of the phone it was like years had been lifed off my shoulders...and you didnt even shudder when my thank you came out as a teradactal like shriek

so you see when you wittily asked me if i would maybe like to replace some of the void now in my phone book over dinner sometime..well how could i be to blame for responding with anything other than ...

screw that marry me, im in love with you now

ok so maybe i overreacted but at the time it seemed like a fair trade to offer myself to you for time and all eternity for the service you had rendered...see not crazy at all......?

dear maggie,

your text today single handedly got me to uncurl my self from my state of wallowing unsexy misery and got my sinus infected head up and doing things ...
this picture is on a shelf on another wall(i've got 5 total shelves that is) right above this little gem...a picture of me and my bestie since high school...for some reason her mom dressed us up like this posed us accordingly and shot my all time favorite picture...how can i not have it framed it is so funny maggie this part is your true gift...the gift of laughter...at my expense...(you always told me people like vulnerability..and nothing says that more than pictures of me in highschool)

it is acrylic painted on to broken glass(i stepped on a frame)

over fabric paint bookpages shapies of course and stamps and such

on canvas

just for the record

i hate running...i hate exercising... and it hates me...and for those of you who talk about that runners high..i'm on to you...its just a grown up version of snipe hunting...you are just making it up to make the rest of us feel even worse about our labored breathing and sluggish feet...so for now i will keep running...but i will not get high on it i will just hate it...but today i am allowed to shorten the run since i danced my head off to these guys last night...seems fair to me
sorry i havent posted any art...i seriously need a charger

always on my mind

for some reason i've been thinking about this day and time alot lately...it was probably the best chunk of life...i lived in tahoe for the summer sprouts grandma sneaking into pools kissing boys road trips to huntington spray painting, then provo with julie law and order s.v.u homemade quesidillas crocheting, then idaho with corine before she left on her mish onebedroom apt. candles starfishing mace practice mish runs at the door.. then thailand with justy soo much food sunburns fights swimmng and shopping and beach massages then summer with ash and nicole...days spent at beauty school with u two fixing the house eating the most of my life telling eachother how pretty we were dancing to fergie and for some reason this day was like the last memory of that stretch of time and i can't remember ever being happier...i miss it and i miss al my besties right now ...ash...remember when u ordered a side of mandarin oranges on top of all of our other food we snuck in to the movie and for some reason we thought it was the funniest thing ever? thanks for making us look pretty kelly

this weekend i...

did a not as cool looking version of this
and tried to get into the habit of this on the trails behind my house...but probably not enough of it to make up or all of this plus order of fries i ate while catching up on my favorite show(im seriously obsessed)

and watching this kinda made wanna cut my bangs like this....

dance dance dance

made this from the trip to salvation mountain...i thought it should be to the new flo rida song but got outvoted....if you can make the screen bigger it's way better.

a taste of salvation

i went on a roadtrip to the middle of nowhere and found salvation! well the mountain...it was soo so cool...the land was declared toxic and deemed useless so this guy moved there and has dedicated his life to painting and building a mountain. it was so cool to poke around and we took like a million pictures but my camera is being a total brat so here are a few peeks...

also the closest town to it is by the salton sea (which you may need to be on either side of the witness protection program to live in) and was so small and rundown and creepy but everywhere we turned we saw groups of bicyclists...can this please be our next girl trip?
