Since it's been a while and a lot has happened this is probably going to be quite lengthy and it probably won't be as humorous as you've become accustomed to. Now that you've been warned you can back out now if it sounds like to much to handle. Also for your convenience this post will be separated into sub-topics of events. So just skim til something sounds good.
Dry Ice
My roommate Brandt and Megan and I were talking about dry ice and all the great (safe) things you can do with it. About the next day Megan and I walk into my apt. and Brandt is there with a fatty block of dry ice. I guess all that talk got to his head and given him some great ideas. Anyway, Brandt is playing with this block of dry ice, he's breaking off pieces and tossing it around and holding it and putting it in his mouth and blowing "smoke" and whatever. We watched/laughed at him for a while then decided to leave. Just as we were headed out Brandt put another chunk of dry ice in his mouth and said something about it breaking in half and swallowing a piece. Next thing he says is he telling us to wait for a second. He then said something about feeling weird in the stomach. Then he burped. And it happened. Just like out of the movies a puff of "smoke" came out of his mouth. pfft!! Blow my mind!
P.S. Brandt is a dragon.
Seattle
A few of us went to Seattle for Memorial Day weekend. Here are a few of the highlights:
-Seeing a badger battle on the side of the road in Montana. Enough said.
-Doing lemonade shots in a gas station Subway. Lemonade shots consist of purring a sugar packet into a lemon juice packet and sucking it down. Thanks Adam.
-Sparkling. Megan and I were at the wedding reception of her friends Matt and Hillary. Some lady, I have no clue who she was, decided to take it upon herself to tell me that I sparkle. What does that even mean? I guess it was a really sunny day, maybe the sun was reflecting off my glasses into her eyes and that's what she was referring to. hmm? But for whatever reason, we may never know, I sparkle. Thanks nosy old lady.
-Pikes Place Market. Pikes Place is a huge street market swarming with all kinds of people. There were dirty people, clean people, creepy people, less creepy people, scary creepy people, people that smell like fish, people that would smell good if the smelled like fish, people that throw fish, people that catch fish, happy people, Asian people, smiley people, entrepreneur (street performers) people, old people, young people, and everything in between people. And stuff. All kinds of trashy flea market trinkets, hand made jewelry, t-shirts, flowers, food stuff for eating, fish, pottery, and just tons of stuff you want but never want to pay for. Needless to say it was a pretty sweet place.
-Folk Life Festival. Pretty much a huge hippie fest right in downtown Seattle. Tons of hippies selling hippies stuff and doing hippie things. The only thing more rampant than the diseases was the hemp, it was a beautiful thing. Street musicians everywhere playing their hearts out. Food stands not concerned in the least with sanitation. Hookahs, smoke and street artists. filled in all available space. I'm pretty sure this was a family friendly event. If you have never been to a Folk Life Festival you need to go. But be careful, your mind just might implode.
-Richard sleep deprived. One of the funniest things I've have ever witnessed in my life. The last 30 minutes of our 13 hour drive home Richard Templeman was hilarious. And of course it didn't help that we were provoking him with ridiculous questions. He was saying outrages things most of which I don't remember tho. But he sang songs about Battle Mt. NV in the style of Macy Gray. And we found out the the board game Risk Jr. is only half the world.
-Gum wall. We went to a comedy show downtown late one of the night. Outside the venue in the alley was awesome. The walls of the alley all around the door of the venue was covered in gum. I don't mean there was a lot of gum I mean you couldn't see the wall until about 8 ft up the wall. Any color you can imagine they had it. If you think about it a lot that's really gross but if you just take it for what it is it's amazing.
-Other stuff we did. We saw the troll under the bridge. Which is just a troll carved out of the rock under a bridge across from Seattle. It's a huge troll and actually pretty cool. We Also went to EMP it's some kind of music museum. They also had a science fiction museum area and at the time a Jim Henson exhibit. There were muppets like Kermit the Frog, Bert and Ernie, and Oscar the Grouch. AND some characters from The Dark Crystal. pfft.
So needless to say Seattle was super great.
Ultimate
Stop rolling your eyes Megan.
I'm gonna tell you why summer/fall track at BYU-I is the best. Summer/fall (AKA the Party Track) features not only the greatest weather that Idaho has to, or can, offer but it also features Ultimate. There is no Ultimate Winter semester. Ultimate, also know as Ultimate Frisbee, is the greatest sport ever created. And now that school's started again so have the games. I'm playing on 2 team. The recreation team, Team Toes (named in memory of our friend Kyle Daniels, formally known as Toes) is made up of a couple of my roommates and a conglomeration of my friends guy and girls. Admittedly we're not the best team in the league but we sure have a blast. The other team I'm on is a "competitive" team. We have an amazing team. So far this season we only have 1 loss and about 5 wins. Between games for both teams and practice for competitive I play Ultimate about 4 days a week. It's great. Stay tuned for updates on how my competitive team is doing.
School
Oh ya, schools going good. I'm really enjoying all my classes, no joke.
Birthday
I turned 22 on Sunday, that was cool. On Saturday morning Megan threw me a not so surprise birthday breakfast party. On Friday I came home after class and my roommate Justin asked me if I was going to Megan's for breakfast tomorrow. I just looked at him really confused and said what. He said "Megan Barker, your girlfriend." He said there was an invite for the breakfast on facebook. I still didn't know what he was talking about til Justin said something about it being for her birthday. I told him that her birthday was in Nov. Then I told him that It was probably a surprise party for me because I didn't know about it and my birthday was that weekend. Justin felt really bad. But I told him that I wasn't mad. But don't worry Justin Megan told me about the party Friday night but only because she thought that someone else had already told me. Either way it was really funny and the breakfast was great. Thanks Megan, your the best.
I think that's all I want to talk about right now. Thanks for playing. Come again
