I want to go to North Carolina sooooo bad. I don't even know why really, I just do haha. the closest "big city" we have is Sacramento (which I don't even really like) which is about an hour and a half away. SF is 3 hours, but it's not too bad :) my friends and I even made a trip to the city at midnight once. we left my parents a note saying that we ran off to the circus.

in Pittsburg my best friend lived next door and her mom babysat all of us neighborhood kids so I was always running around and stuff with them. then they pretty much all moved away around the same time and I was the only kid left on my street which was quite a bummer. but I lived at the end of a marina so we went swimming alllll the time. it was wonderful. it's pretty much the only thing I miss about living there. and now my dad lives in the house directly across the marina from the one I grew up in, so it's kind of strange, but still really cool. and on top of all of that my grandparents lived right next door to me so I know how the family thing goes. my mom and I actually moved up to Paradise because her biological mom lived up here as well as her half-brother and his family. and then my grandparents that I lived next to as a kid decided to move up here as well. I have a fairly small family on my mom's side haha.
where did you live before you lived there?

that's awesome! I love traveling. yeah, I could go for some warm weather right now too. we had lovely weather for weeks and then it's been snowing recently. last night the roads froze and I had to drive and it was terrifying since I have a Jetta, but it wasn't too bad. just weird because we hardly ever get much snow. does it snow much there?


2.27.11

no you didn't! that's really amazing. I vacationed a lot as a kid; I think my first trip was to Colorado when I was like 6 months old haha. I haven't gone anywhere really exciting in a few years though.
what does your dad do? and which of the places you traveled to has been your favorite?
dude! that's exciting! and if you get the opportunity to go to SF while you're out here, pleeeeeease let me give you a list of all the amazing places you should go :)

I lovvvvvvvvvve the snow, I just don't really have anyone that's willing to go play in it with me haha. we rarely ever have snow stick around for a few days like it has this time, it's kind of nice to see all the white rooftops. and on top of that, snow pretty much means I don't have to go to work so I'm down with that. the weather this year has been so crazy to say the least. I just remember when I was in 10th grade it rained for all but two or three days in March and my English teacher said she was gonna get out her scuba diving gear haha.

on top of all this, would you be down for a simple game of 20(ish) questions?

2.27.11.2

I hear CO's gorgeous too, I've don't think I've been there since I was a baby, so I don't remember it at all. I have a friend that lives out there though and he's shown me pictures and it's beauuuutiful.

hmm. that sounds really weird but really cool. how in the world did he get involved with fire hydrants? that's a pretty off the wall job field I'd say.
I've never even heard of San Marcos but I do love me some rivers haha. I love college towns though. Chico is a wonderful place. we have amazing parks and a beautiful downtown, and Chico State itself is quite pretty. and I just really like the atmosphere. granted I'm not the biggest fan of slutty hoes, but it's generally a pretty fun place.
I've had a small interest in going to Chicago for awhile now. not on the top of my list but I'd definitely go if the opportunity ever presented itself. how many sisters/siblings do you have?

snow's like any type of weather I guess. I love the rain and am thinking about living in Oregon/Washington when I get older but I have friends that live in Oregon that used to love the rain but hate it now, so I don't really know if I'll be one of those people or if I'll always just love it.
I think my favorite thing about the snow is the silence when it falls. it's just so calm. I love it.

k. how old are you/when's your birthday?


2.28.11

haha well that's pretty cool. gotta love it when things just kind of happen. still a random freaking job field hahaha.

awesome! that would be lovely :) yeah, I want to go to New York pretty bad too. I just want to visit all the museums and such. what other major cities have you been too that you would recommend?

you've got a big family. well compared to mine it is haha. were you glad to have grown up with siblings? I'm trying to figure out if it was better to have grown up an only child (which I did) or not.

same! for some strange reason I've felt in the past 4-5 years that I belong in Seattle. maybe not permanently, but for awhile at least. I just don't think I will ever be able to leave the west coast, I love it here. and I love the ocean too much to ever live in the middle of the country.

you have the same birthday as my step-dad's best friend, who is appropriately named June haha.
kk, your turn for une question :)

yeah, my mom went to Arizona during the winter one year for some horseback riding trip and she said it was incredible. and I have friends who live down there, so at some point Phoenix is a definite possibility.

duuuuuuude. I definitely 100% need to go to Texas now. I have friends there too actually. talk about convenient.

that's so nice. I remember when I was really little I asked my mom if I could have a little sister or brother, I wanted one sooooooo bad. I'm sad that I didn't get to have those experiences growing up, but I guess that just means that when I have kids they are definitely gonna have some siblings haha.

my favorite kid movie is definitely Beauty and the Beast; my first REAL favorite movie was The Goonies which I first saw when I was 6 (and I still love it); and my favorite movie now is Teenage Dirtbag. if you haven't seen it, go rent it right this instant. :) what's yours?
and what's your favorite color?

p.s.- haha, k, well I had a dream while I was napping that you made a video and I was going to watch it but I had to let it load first and then the dream changed so I didn't get to see it :(
