I've still got to finish the manatee swap (which I will do right after I get off here).  I'm not interested in it anymore.  My partner didn't really give good answers on the questionaire.  People think they're being easy by giving really generic answers, but it's best to get some specific information.  She didn't even give her favorite color.


Also, I'm going to be gone  Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.  I won't be getting on the internet up there.

Humboldt County has issued it's own currency.  Apparently we are prepairing to secede from the nation, or something.  major lulz.
Oh yes and it says "In each other we trust" on it.   *headdesk* Ahahah, here it is:

I've really had it up to here with Humboldt County.  I cannot wait to leave.  They just want to be their own little seperate principality ruled by the Trees.  Especially Arcata.  Ugh, I hate Arcata.  It's terrible to drive in because they refuse to pave the roads, as they want to ban cars and make it bicycles only.   There's a movement starting where they want to de-pave the county.  They were given a little parkinglot area by the Yakima factory and they tore up all the pavement and planted grass.  What did people do?  Parked on it. What else?  They won't let any corporations in, even car dealers or fast food restaurants, so there are no taxes to pave the roads, et cetera.  If  Humboldt State University weren't there, they'd just be another Rio Dell.  And you don't want to be Rio Dell.  It's just so frustrating because I consider myself to be liberal, but these people just take it so far out of left field that it doesn't even make sense.   They'd die if they lived without corporations-no Subarus, no laptops for their lame blogs!  Oh, hippies.    : D

blahblahblah

We've decided (we being Angie, Nick, Izzy and me) to institute dress up days at work.  This not having a manager and being ignored is for the birds, so bwhahaha.
We always say  how we don't ever get to wear nice clothes, so tomorrow, we're dressing up.  And Friday is 80's day, but I'm off then, so... yeah.  That's okay with me to miss that one though. haha : )
We did have a pretty killer dance party last night after closing, however.
WHEEE.

I finished one of the mediums for the Forest Friend swap. Now I have to go find a picture of a raccoon.  As if we don't have enough of them here as is, but for some reason, I can't remember exactly how their facial coloring is.

I still haven't sent my friend's birthday package yet, even though yesterday was her birthday. I did, however, go and pick up a box.  I didn't want to lug all the crap on the bus to get there and not have a  box that fit the posters that I'm sending. Luckily, they had a "shoebox" sized/shaped one, and that worked perfectly. So, hopefully I'll send it tomorrow.  Maybe.


I just got finished watching all the shows I generically Tivo-ed last thrusday (Scrubs, ER).  I had forgotten that NBC was doing their whole "Green Prime Time" bullshit thing that day.  Everyshow in their prime time slots had a "green" or "eco friendly" message and their  peacock guy was, you guessed it, green.  I'm all for fixing the environment, read doing something actually useful like developing an alternative fuel and outlawing SUVS that aren't being used as service vehicles, but having ER scripted to talk about the incondescent light bulbs they've replaced to save energy for the hospital isn't doing anything. Same with America's Next Top Model having an eco bus hauling the girls around.  It's become such a fashion statement to be an "environmentalist".  I predict a backlash to it all in a few years.  I guess it's annoying to me because I've been hearing the Save the Earth thing my whole life, due to where I live, so it being EVERYWHERE is just driving me crazy.  Until you've been hauled out of a tree by the lumber company, or ran around in a "screeching osprey" costume, demonstrating the plight of the "helpless salmon", who is, in actuality, your dormmate wearing a salmon outfit,  you're not an environmental activist. LOL, kidding.  

It's almost like the crazy hippies that everyone just ignored have gotten the hipster vote as of late.  I'm saying it again, I predict a backlash.


HAPPY PICTURE!

the renfaire was okay. both me and my dad agreed that if it were run more by SCA people and less by hippies, it'd have been a lot better. Also, it was totally geared towards hippie kids, so, it was a little lukewarm. But, they had good barbeque.

My dad rented his costume, or rather, got it for free from the costume place (knowing the owner and being in the media has it's perks LOL). Here's a bad picture of both of us, plus you can see my costume pretty well, though I look a wee bit drunk





I was surprised how many people didn't dress up, but that's what separated the SCA people and the hippies. Stupid hippies. hahaha

I just wish that there was more 'tomfoolery', as they say. The only thing that was pretty funny was watching a battle of little boys that was being lead by teenagers with big foam weapons. I was so jealous! I wanted to beat people up with foam swords!! We also said it'd be awesome if they had staged a witch burning, but with the event being geared towards hippie kids, that's not really appropriat. :/
