Found a location: http://www.leachgarden.org/weddings-and-rentals/
Confirmed a date, August 17th.
Looking at dresses but want to get in better shape before trying anything on. And I need to save up some money.

I also seem to have misplaced my "something old" that Edward's mom gave me. It's somewhere in my small, one bedroom apartment. I put it somewhere "safe" and now I can't find it. TYPICAL.

I have less than one year to locate it, wish me luck.

new neighbors! :D

A couple moved into the apartment next door!

Last night, I discovered they have a tv in their bedroom. Also, our bedroom shares a wall with their bedroom! :D

I fell asleep watching a movie on the couch and got up to go to sleep in my very soft and comfortable bed, but I couldn't sleep! Was this because I could hear someone next door fiddling with their television? YES, IT WAS.

So I flopped around all agitated like for 2-hours UNTIL I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. I had kindly thumped the wall a few times, but to no avail. So at midnight I got up, put on some pants, and marched right down to my new neighbor's apartment and rapped on the door. A slovenly looking young gentleman answered the door. We had a conversation that went like this:

Me: I can hear your tv in my bedroom, we share a wall, please turn the volume down.
Him: Ohhhhhhhhh, that's our bedroom toooooooo...
Me: I have work in the morning and have to be up in about six hours. The noise from your tv is making it difficult for me to sleep, so I'm asking you to please turn the volume down.
Him: Okay, welllll, we can barely hear it sooooo...
Me: Turn it down.

Then I turned on my heel and marched right back on down to my apartment, flopped onto my bed, and enjoyed the silence that lasted about five minutes, until the neighbor decided to stomp around his apartment and make lots of OTHER noises, seemingly unrelated to his tv.

A battle's going down soon. I can feel it.

This is a long but enjoyable entry.
Tuesday. 8.7.12 2:16 pm
My boss dropped her iPhone in a TOILET and got a free replacement.

My dad spilled wine on my mom's iPhone and SHE got a free replacement.

My cat repellent squirt gun leaked onto my bedside table and a TINY AMOUNT of water TOUCHED my iPhone and RUINED it and I had to pay $150 for a replacement and I lost all of my pictures because I backed up to to the stupid iCloud instead of my computer and it didn't even work, UGH. WHY.

So I guess I won't be uploading any cool pictures, except actually maybe I will, I just remembered.

I had my staycation last week! And I took some pictures (not that many) on my NEW AND BETTER (it's the same) phone which I have already backed up to this computer!

On Monday, I went to Sauvie Island with my sisterz. Sauvie Island is a 26,000 acre river island in Portland and it was fun! There's a nude beach portion, we skipped that though. There's also a lake in the middle of the island and I'm pretty sure that's the body of water we were on? But maybe not because big boats went by, so I guess we were on the Columbia? Geography, who knows.

On Tuesday I slept in, got lunch with Edward, then went home and cleaned out my closet while listening to music really loud. I had three bigass bags of clothes for donation and one average sized bag for selling to Buffalo Exchange. Man, it was hot that day you guys and my apartment doesn't have a/c because people in the Pacific Northwest don't believe in it which is good for the environment and my electric bill but not my sweat situation. HOT.

On Wednesday, I went and got a slice and a pint, then met up with my little sister Nikki and we sold my clothes to Buffalo Exchange and I got FIFTY THREE DOLLARS which I have already spent on I don't know what, most likely food. Then we went and got a pint on Hawthorne and enjoyed the shade and chatted about how stupid Chick-fil-A is.

Here's a funny picture I took while on Hawthorne:


On Thursday, I met my sister Danni for lunch while she was on break and immediately got pizza all over my shirt, so she took me back to work with her (at Anthropologie) and I bought a new and even BETTER shirt than what I was wearing, even though it was stupidly expensive but I got a discount so I guess that's okay. Then Nikki met up with me and we went shopping downtown and I bought Edward a flask he's been lusting after, then we went to this ice cream parlor on NE Alberta called Salt and Straw and got ice cream cones then walked to Danni's house around the corner and ate our ice cream on her porch while her dog barked at us from inside. (My cone broke and landed on one of her porch steps and I left it there as a gift to the ants and later Danni and I had a funny discussion about how she thought some random weirdos were eating ice cream on her porch while she wasn't home.) Then Nikki and I went and got pints and a cider at this pub across the street. We love pints. Then I took Nikki home and picked up Edward from work and almost peed my pants on the way home because pints will do that. Then we went and saw Seeking a Friend For the End of the World and I cried TWICE but Edward said the emotion was flat but whatever you guys, I cried. Twice.

On Friday I met up with Danni who had plans to float the Sandy River with two of her lovely co-workers, one of whom cannot swim. We went to go buy tubes for floating but they were sold out everywhere (the two places we looked) so we bought rafts instead which ended up being disastrous. We got to the Sandy and inflated our floatables. Danni and I decided to use the rafts since we are strong swimmers and we let Nancy, the non-swimmer, have a safe and sturdy tube (thank GOD). Danni and I took off on our rafts and immediately hit a rapid patch of water and ran into a rock wall and a submerged log and my raft popped and Danni, in an attempt to save a bag of beers (Coor's Light, like, not even worth saving) clung to her raft for dear life and we somehow managed to get over the log and back on course, only losing a few worthless beers and one of my shoes. Later, as we were floating gently along, sharing our raft together and drinking our Coor's Light, a drunk dude floated by us and yelled, "HEY IS THAT COOR'S LIGHT? I FOUND ONE OF THOSE BACK THERE AND DRANK IT THANKS MAAAAN!" So at least one of our beers did not go to waste, how wonderful. I now have a giant bruise on my butt from the submerged log, and I lost a toenail when our raft hit another rough patch. Danni, panicking and forgetting that I know how to swim, flung our raft at me like it was a life preserver. Thoughtful, yes, but necessary, no. Also, I think we were only in about four feet of water. But I will be forever grateful to her for attempting to save my life, which wasn't in danger. The Sandy River float should have taken about two hours, but because of our raft misadventures, took three and Edward had to walk home from work and I felt really bad about it, but then remembered that I have to walk home from work from my train stop every day and decided not to beat myself up over having a glorious, fun-filled day on the Sandy.

The end.

Here's a picture of Dagmar lusting after my unhealthy marshmallow cereal.

staycation
Tuesday. 7.24.12 1:53 pm
I took one whole week off from work! And I have no plans at all, just going to hang around my apartment and maybe do stuff with my sisters. I can't wait! And I'm sure my cat will be thrilled.

I have no good updates but am thinking about uploading a bunch of stuff to my gallery. (Easier said than done.)

Um, I'm going to see The Desaparecidos play on August 26th. Edward's real excited. We're also going to see Orbital (UK electronic band that's been around forever) in Seattle sometime in September. Edward's even more excited about that. Man, live shows kind of freak me out. Being in a big crowd of strangers isn't my idea of a good time, even if I am there to see a group I'm excited about.

I painted my nails yellow, my boss told me it's an obnoxious color. WHATEVER. She also told me I look like Dr. Zeus (guessing she meant Seuss) because I have a striped cardigan on over a shirt with a pattern. WHATEVER X2.

I recently read Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go" and it was so beautiful and wonderful and I cried like a baby but then I watched the movie and was horrified THEY BUTCHERED IT. butchered. it.

I went to see Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom with my sister in the parking lot of a brewery on Burnside and THAT was fun except for this guy sitting near me talked about the weather in Tucson and traffic in Seattle throughout the whole movie, it was weird.

I truly don't have one interesting thing to share today, I'll stop now.
