I was just looking at National Geographic's 2010 Photo Contest (CLICK HERE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF)
the photos from this contest are just amazing, I could look at them all day.

here are a few of my favorites (even though it was really hard to choose):

oh hi finals

I think today was the start of actual, every day after this, finals study time

I was a BEACON OF PRODUCTIVITY

Fun morning
Online coffee shop with Leslie
Brittan and Lisa were there too
Listening to SO much 90s music
Coming home & downloading 90s playlist
Finishing Trusts & Estates notes

thanksgiving love

yesterday was thanksgiving:
leftover sandwich for lunch
dinner at Katie's mom's = most delicious, coupled with beverages and games and ET and BFF family time.
after dinner fun at Rich & Tameika's including mad gab and heart to hearts and dance parties and cranberry eating contests
followed by getting my car stuck in the snow up snowden and having to have my dad come pull me out at almost 1am
snowy snowy icy wasteland

today means
so many leftovers like a fat kid
con law outlining
ducks game
friend time love + pub + jacks?

xxoo

happy thanksgiving

this morning I am thankful for lady gaga videos, leftover sandwiches, new shampoo and you.

snow

its snowing snowing snowing [in seattle]
and sticking
I hope I can come home for thanksgiving
it's supposed to freeze into a giant block of ice tonight
(it = the city)

also, send me good vibes.
I have my oral argument for legal writing this evening... and then I'm done forever with legal writing!
but first I have to impress three judges and my LW2 professor with my awesome argumentative skills! - unless it snows a bunch, I guess.

"so when I say I want us to be together, just say you want me too and I'll be yours forever" -- a little walter meego this snowy morning, getting excited for the day! I love happy music in the morning!

song of the day

studylicious



and P.S. I caught myself singing "wait, they dont love you like I love you" to my cat. someone please help me. I've seen my future: cat lady.

hello saturday

Last night I went up to Phinney Ridge with my friend Dustin from Hood River. We hung out with his friends, ate tacos at El Chupacabra, drank beer. It was good to go somewhere I don't normally go. The last time I was up on Phinney ridge was almost a year ago, post 1L Fall finals with Greg from Ground.

Now I'm post up at my computer with a bag of Organic Sliced Apples (thanks Trader Joe's) and a jar of peanut butter, fat kid status.

I need to go work on my oral argument. But first: makeup.

song of my day

3 times on the drive home from school today = lusting

also, last husky football game of the year tomorrow night. Blackout theme - wearing all black!

P.S. I also saw this on lovely Marissa's blog which made me happy that she likes it too - she obviously has good taste :). Click here!

I feel my life spiraling downward. I'm having top ramen and black coffee for lunch. I blame the quickly approaching dark, rainy Seattle winter and the also quickly approaching law school finals. I need a life coach. I'll start taking applications immediately.

so happy

birthday birthday

I'm 24 today!

last night I went out to auto battery with some of my favorites after a pre funk at my house. it was good times.

today kylee took me to get coffee, then I sat around with Erin, Andy and Katie and did nothing, then Chip and Katie came and got me and took me to McMenamins for some food, then to coldstone's for some birthday ice cream. favorite cousins :) so nice.

now I'm sitting on my couch with my fluffy cat, not wanting to go to school to print my brief.

but this text from last night made me laugh (I feel ya, sister):

(832):

Fuck men. I'm going to go eat a package of cookie dough and get fat. I hope I die of salmonella.

birthday eve

join me for a little celebratory birthday fun tonight at Auto Battery on Capitol Hill at 10pm - we'll wander from there!

veteran's afternoon

favorite Plenty shirt & jeggings, favorite sleeping kittycat, candles, and new booties.

now off to happy hour with the bestie.







UPDATE: I just found out two of my very favorite people in the whole world are going to have a baby :):) and if it's a girl they've practically told me that they'll name it Rebeka... I'm going to hold them to that haha :)
big smiles and congratulations and happy veteran's day

spring semester

ohh the perks of first registration of the 2Ls, I got all the classes I wanted for next semester, and more!

I'm taking:

Community Property with Aharons
Professional Responsibility (during the day)
Tribal Governmental Gaming
Family Dissolution
and either:
Indian Law and Natural Resources OR
Community Property...
I'm registered for both of them and IDK what to do. Community Property is on the Wa State Bar, and I love American Indians, we'll see what I choose (it'll probably depend on who I know in each class haha).

Anyway, good luck to everyone else trying to register today <3

xxoo

a little McKuen before bed

An early thaw has made all canyons
into rivulets.
The daisies saying love me now
or love me not.
If I have thought about you more than
now it must have been some other me
living in a different heartbreak house
surrounded by some other hedge of memory.

still in lust

with this song



Also, Fluffy taught himself how to play fetch tonight. Ha.

And I made Venison stew for dinner. It was really delish. I patted myself on the back a little. Mm!

However, I'm so not in lust with the boy situation. I think I'll just stay really really single for a long long time, it's so much less stressful that way. Screw getting your hopes up for nothing.

Ok off to finish reading and go to bed so I can get up early and register for Spring Semester classes before Administrative Law then an Indian Law Journal meeting and then Constitutional law. Can this semester hurry up and be over? (but on the bright side, this weekend = 4 day birthday weekend, hooray)!

UW vs Stanford

We also went to the UW vs Stanford game this weekend while Danielle and Steffen were here. It was pouring down rain the whole time and we lost miserably. But the tailgates were fun. We went to Eric's (best man) parents's tailgate and to the ZTA alumni tailgate! We also walked from the stadium, around by U Vil home. Fun times (mostly haha).

Danielle & Steffen

Danielle and Steffen came up to Seattle this last weekend
we threw them a surprise engagement party
AND Danielle asked me to be one of her Bride's maids - yay!
congrats to two of my favorite people!
here are some pictures from the party:

"Pyro" on SNL

I won't ever be your corner-stone
I don't wanna be here holding on
