Also, there are more of these little gems that you should watch Here



and for good measure:

You can click on the thumbnail to make the image much larger, and you should, cause I'm super proud of it.

Reflections This is an image I created completely from my head in a 3D modeling program called blender. I'mkindaproud of it. Imodeled the zippo ona lighter I actually have, though I don't smoke, so the cigarette and ashtray are from my head. the wineglass and shotglass are close apporximations.

ok,this is important, so everybody listen up and read/answer this one (preferably asap,i have to decide today)

Can I jsut say that today ismy favorite holiday?

or rather "Avast matey's, ain't it grand to have such a noble day of celebration as this! ARGHHHH! where's the rum!?"

So I'm back at Centre, I've moved everything in, but haven't quite managed to unpack and organize....::Sigh:: so much to do

I miss Shannon, and Alli, and even Winston. We were quite the group...it was weird and funny and occassionally even bad...but losing productivity and hanging out with that group was probably the highlight of my time at Centre thus far, I can only hope it gets better from there.

Annoyance 1: only one functioning ethernet port in our room, meaning either I or my roommate will be unable to connect to the internet...not something that makes anne happy
Annoyance 2: forgot to bring top bunk ladder, all hanging clothes, english flag, and i'm sure other things.
Annoyance 3: unpacking in general...at least i don't smell funny any more
Annoyance 4: buying books for a drawing class.

good things: parents have ben herel onger than ever befre for a move in. bought new lamps for room so will not be dark pit it usually is. I also have lots of food, about 50% of it is healthy (celery, mandarin oranges, juice, spinach, etc.)

Opening convo tomorrow, shannon doesn't want to sing...but i've always sung, but i don't want to sing alone, will any one else be singing? i hope so. call me or comment if you are singing...i onder what it would be like to go to the opening convo and like...sit in the seats and stuff....i've never done that.

anyway..missing shanon a lot and hoping the room won't look like a hurricane went through when she gets here...it probably will though..oh well.

So what can i say? It's true...

By the way, you can catch all the traveling action a little less disjointed and out of order by htting up anne_in_england.

just FYI

also, tons of pictures there.

Now i know this may be weird to start off significant updating when i'm in London, but |I was tagged, and i felt like i should acknowledge and tag others (plus I'm way behind on reading my friends list, way way way): Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things/habits about themselves. People who get tagged need to write an entry of their own with 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

( my idiosyncracies )

I tag: makesmechuckle, carmelizeme, jakflak, dryadgoddess, kentuckymel, anyone else on my friends list

in london, no ti to write...bt it is wonderful...saw le mis and will see friends soon, thn offto scotland

So I'm in London, in England at the Kennsington Close hotel with my parents and a bunch of students taking a course from my mother.

Everything comes back so quickly...it's as if I never left and I never want to leave it again. i love it here and the only thing that might damper it is that everyone here that is funto hang out with is taking a course from my mother...but hopefully they won't incriminate me in anything and I'll hope they all like Mom and everything will be fine.

I slept a lot because I didn't sleep the night before...we got to UTC at 7:30am monday morning, then we drove the Nashville (Anne sleeps,a s she did not the night before) then we get to the airport and go through security, board the plane and fly to Atlanta. In Atlanta we have like a 5 hour layover...so i sleep...then we get on the plane...I sleep, watch Failure to Launch and then sleep some more. then we arrive here in London.

We had ot wait in the airport for the rest of the group for like three hours after we landed, and customs lines were forever long...but I'm ehre and we got on a bus and drove to London and got ot the hotel.

Everyone seems really cool. three other girls and i went to lunch at an italian place and split some pizzas and talked and had Kentucky bonding time (they go to NKU or EKU, so it's all about the Kentucky schoolin'...one girl even know Laua Zanewich which is kinda funny)

Anyway...another country...it's surreal, but fabulous. Don't know when I'll get ot post this, or pictures, but hopefully soon!

So I am sitting in the "library" at Pilchuck and it is more wonderful than words could even begin to express. it is beautiful, i have an amazing group of people, everything is free as a bird...and I'm in love...I never want to leave.

The one bad side: our blow slots run from 6:15am to 12:15....I am NOT a morning person ::sigh:: but it is the chance of a lifetime afterall.

myinternal clock is all shot to hell though... here it is 6:26...there it is ... 9:26? I'm so confused! and so hungry! when is dinner! I at lunch at my noon...but dinner at their seven! no good for me!

I think i just got asked out on a date....

My Facebook runneth over :)
