Not that it changes much...
I have decided to write a list on why I have procrastinated to the point to where I haven't finished my acknowledgments (Ok, you know what? acknowledgments needs an E after the G. It just does.) So, without further procrastination, here it is.
1. I have everything written out on a pretty piece of paper, which I do not have with me, and my transportation towards that paper is currently in the Methodist church parking lot waiting for a boy scout meeting to finish. I kid you not.
2. I have school, including:
Environmental Biology
Public Speaking
Shakespeare
Economics
Algebra 2 (gag me)
French
aaand an undisclosed form of P.E.
3. I have a cold. Ha.
4. I don't have my prettywhite computer 24/7. I have it about, oh, 16/7.
5. My ride is here.

Written on the plane- a must read. 8/12/09
Here I am, flying above the clouds, my head spinning at how fast the time has escaped me. This will absolutely not be the last post to this blog- it has become my baby! :) There are near hundreds of pictures and videos to get online, and I will have a new shiny laptop (come Monday) to help me accomplish said feat! But, before I get back to business as usual (finishing my "Final Day" series, among other things) I have several (never underestimate me when I say several. I mean it.) acknowledgments that I'd like to make- people who have made my journey and summer bearable, interesting, fascinating, fun, enjoyable, or possible! There are so many of you, that giving one person more credit over another is incredibly difficult, because you have all contributed to my life in different, but never the less important ways. So, alphabetically you shall be! *waves magic wand*
Abbey- Hello faithful reader and friend; thank you for holding down the books for me back home, and giving my mom some much-needed hugs!... Your enthusiasm has encouraged me all summer.
Allie- 'Ello dearie, I've absolutely enjoyed sharing your time zone for the brief stitch in time that I was allowed, and hope that I will come back there again soon. Drink on, Gilmore! (preferably Peets!)
Andrew- You were my shoulder to absolutely whine on, and voice of amusement this summer, even across the country. You are on the absolute top of my "Abundance of Andrews" (I still want that list!) and I'm grateful to call you a close friend, no matter what your name may be. See you in November, computer swap ready!
Anthony- Alas, I have indeed failed you by spelling and punctuating my posts with reckless, un-re-read abandon... Forgive my Brevard absence, as I am well aware that I caused your summer undue misery. Formality aside, I sincerely hope (and pray) that your time at W&M will be absolutely amazing, beyond your wildest dreams. :)
Bella- Dear Bel, I'm terribly afraid that this will absolutely be the longest of them all... (like you'd expect anything less from me!) hehe. You are the best friend any girl could ask for. We prayerfully went into this summer, blindly jumping into a lake, without knowing how deep or freezing the water may be, or what could live underneath the surface. Yet here we both are, summer almost gone, gasping for breath and climbing onto the dry dock, our terrifying leap of faith over. All fingers, toes and limbs accounted for? We survived babe- to infinity and beyond!
Ben- First of all, you turned into a teenager while I was gone. SO not acceptable! Thank you for being the faithful dishwasher loader (and un-loader!) dog sitter, game-player guy that will be taller than me before long. Love you buddy!
EDIT: For times' sake, this will only be letters A and B... More to follow, promise!

Final day. (Part 2)
One of the many bits of advice that I received about coming here to Seattle, is from my dentist. He told me to make sure that I visited Chinatown, but to make sure that I visited in the daytime, which is exactly what DIDN'T happen. We got off of our bus with little idea of where to go, or where we were at 11 o'clock at night. The smell of pot softly wafted through the damp air, but miracously, the three "stupid Americans" managed to find a bus and a bus stop to get us back across the city. Then, we got a call- it was from Christie.
Final day. (Part 1)
Last night was an absolute adventure- if you couldn't tell that fact already, by the abbreviated posts on the subject. :) We started out in Fremont and explored a bit- took pictures of the troll, etc. Then grabbed coffee at Peets, walked around some more; Mom found Stevia-sweetened cola, and Aunt Cindi found a bag of our now-famous Yogurt and Green Onion Potato chips for the plane today. We headed home, and Aunt Cindi and mom went to The Melting pot for their own girls night out, nd then Paul, Liam and I had dinner at Kid Valley, for old times sake. (Christie worked.) At some point, everyone came home (except Christie, who we couldn't get a hold of) and we all caught a bus to get to Bauhaus. The first bus trip went fine, THEN we had to transfer to another bus in Bellevue, to take us to Seattle. The three stooges (Mom, Aunt Cindi and I) boarded the bus and climbed back, then sat down and proceeded to talk. We then looked out the dark window, and noticed that we were on the very opposite edge that we were NOT supposed to be at- So, we got off the bus and happened to be in, (guess where!) Chinatown.

Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of updates- my entire week has gone out the window. I've enjoyed myself, yes; but that isn't distracting me near enough to face the bitter, disgusting truth... I have less than 48 hours left in the beautiful state that has absolutely completely adopted me. Some people say that leaving is bittersweet, this is all absolutely bitter. I'm looking forward to coming back to North Carolina and seeing the changes- as well as my new laptop, which will absolutely ensure that I get the remaining pictures online, and do some sorely needed editing. Can't really say more- there are too many emotions right now. Sweet dreams, happy mornings, and loverly afternoons to you all.

She appeared!
My mother, that is. I was getting a ride home from work, Aunt Cindi parked the car, and asked me to get groceries out of the trunk- THERE.WAS.MY.MOM! :D I originally screamed because there was a face in the trunk when I was expecting plastic bags, but.. EEE! :)

Weather
Normally, I'm one of those people who prefers to avoid topics such as the weather, because it usually means that there is nothing else to talk about. This is where I break that rule. It is excruciatingly, painfully, sizzling, HOT. I THINK that it was about 97 today, or at least it feels like it; here's the kicker- we're on the THIRD floor, with absolutely no air conditioning. So, this afternoon, Aunt Cindi, Liam, (My cousin Christina who got here 'bout a week ago) and I, basically moved into the mall across the street, complete with at least 12 different cuisines, a Starbucks, a Half Priced books, a Library, and, BEST OF ALL- Air conditioning!

It's me again!
Hey everybody! I'm here, alive and well... I've got a lot of backloaded posts that I'll be getting up, so bear with me. Thank you all so much for being faithful followers... It's tough being in a new place and knowing very few people- this blog has helped me communicate and see things differently- I have a great life! Anyway, on with the posts! :D

So, if you follow me regularly at all, you may have noticed my host of unkept promises and lack in updates- I know, I hate it too. But think about it this way. I'm essentually always on call both at work and on a babysitting basis. Sundays, I go to church in the morning, grab lunch, and work from 1-9 pm. When I get a call into work, I pretty much need an hours' notice and I'm there, pushing carts. The Bangles didn't write "Manic Monday" for no reason! Saturdays have been work days lately, and then Wednesday and Thursday nights I have two separate Care groups. So that leaves Tuesdays and Fridays, Both of which I almost definitely work. There's very little time! This is by no means a, "I'm giving up!" Merely, "I left my super-hero suit at home!" post. -M

Zoo today!
We're just about to leave to head off to the zoo- I DID take pictures with my regular camera at the rally-test (rally and protest) yesterday, but it might take a little bit more time to get the photos online, because I'm going to blur some of the faces. I'll have a full account of that, as well as my interesting trip home posted online by this afternoon/evening. Keep reading! Thinking of you all! :)

Yes, the scarves make them look like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Just for precaution, I'm going to blur the faces in this picture.

Alright, so I lied again! Today didn't exactly go as planned either- tomorrow seems like the day to update- free(er) morning, and then I'm very possibly hopefully going to an Iran Elections protest tomorrow at the Seattle Sculpture Gardens... IF I go, (and it's a distinct possibility) there will be live updates, as well as pictures and videos. :) Gnight! (Or to my morning readers,) Good Morning! :)
What happens in Africa...
READ BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO
This is a real video from a French documentary about Africa . You may not understand a word that's being said, but the video's a hoot. There are trees that grow in Africa which, once a year, produce very juicy fruits that ferment and (obviously) then contain a large percentage of alcohol. Because there is a shortage of water, as soon as the fruits are ripe, animals go there to help protect themselves from the heat, and hey- if you're thirsty...
What happens next, you can watch for yourself.

So yesterday..
It didn't go quite as planned. But today is where I plea for redemption. Pictures to come! Promise!

I'm still kickin'!
Hello Blogosphere!
First off, I'd like to apologize for my lack of any real updates (other than things like, oh, sunsets, or adorable children.) I've been incredibly busy (which is a good thing!) but it prevents me from writing as much as I'd like. (Phew! Got that out of the way!)
Secondly, If you've emailed me in the past week, and follow this blog (*winkwink*) I have a relatively free schedule these upcoming few days, and should be able to (finally!) respond to your email(s) with the proper credit they undoubtedly deserve!
Third(ly) I have lots and LOTS of Pictures taken this past Saturday during our day trip to Fremont, Washington. It's a cute little funky town that, as I like to put it, is "More Asheville than Asheville!) I'll try to get those up sometime tomorrow, so check throughout the day as there will be LOTS of updates as well as some minor (but nevertheless FUN) event recaps from the past few days... (Maybe even some non-Facebook exclusives!). Stay tuned! (Or.. whatever you say in blogspeak!)
You can't see it very well, but I ripped half my nail off.
