outlander

so i am on page 541. there are 850 pages total. i LOVE this book. it makes me wish that it was my life. back in the day. with some brave, handsome, cool scottish lad who loved me. but nope. i'm just in california. with no one who loves me.

i wish men would read this book. and learn a few things. i wish this book would be made into a movie. directed by james cameron. because then it would be really long. but i wish i would be cast as the role of claire. i am too young. but still.

today i am going over to jackies. jackies boyfriend is in canada for a week, so we are having a girls week. it should be good fun. oooh yes. tayler is coming jan 20th and stayin with me until jan 29th. i am sooo excited. we are going to road trip down to san fransisco for a couple days. then back to my house (homebase) and then drive up to humboldt and check it out up there since thats where we want to move eventually. it will be rad. i can not wait to see the redwoods again. YES!

last night i went to see avatar in 3d (for the 2nd time) with gabe sady, megan, lisa, & garrett. the 2nd time around i noticed some cheesy parts and some connections. but over all i still really liked it. and it STILL made me wish i was Na'vi and hate mankind. haha dang.. these are two photos i took at beehive. i love the first one. i just think its random and weird. and the 2nd one.. of course i love it. its black peach tea mixed with black vanilla bean tea. no sugar, cream or honey added.. perfect as is. i crave it. i also crave white peach oolong tea from chinatown in sanfransisco. ahhh im goin NUTz.

worst river trip ever

so meg, gabe, brent and i went to the river.. it sucked. because megs friend dragged us out to the middle of farm land with out our knowledge. and we went to this "river" that had pipes running into it. so basically we were floating in leftover water and i'm not happy about the trip at all. i wanted the american river with some rapids and adventure.. not some barely moving "river" that i could stand up in half the time and have the water not even reach my knees. it took us 4 hours to get to the end. un heard of. needless to say, i wasn't happy! my floatation device even popped .. luckily we were almost done. & brent voluenteered to use it and gave me his floatation. the two good parts were when brent found some rope swing - it was in shallow water so it made no sense at all.. you couldn't jump off of it cause you'd fall in sand. but brent tried it anyway and his butt dragged in the water and it looked so funny i kept making him do it. and then another fun part was when brent started to sing a made up song about the river in hillybilly voice. both were highlights of the river.

but ultimately, my favorite part.. was the car ride. because of the grooves. brent & gabe jammed out. i brought the guitar, bongos & harmonica. so brent played guitar and gabe played his mandolin. here is a video of it - (im not playing harmonica in the video)

gabe sady playing the mandolin part 1

this is pretty much amazing , and i can't get enough of it. this is my very good friend gabe sady playing the mandolin .. i LOVE this instrument. its one of my favorites .. my favorites being : harmonica, banjo, mandolin, harp & piano. i mean really i love all instruments individually and then when they come together its even more great but singling out each one is just amazing. i was sorta playing my harmonica with gabe a little but im not very good so he was playing more music than i was -
