Sorry its been a week!

Hi everyone. I'm in Gatlinburg, TN right now using the high-speed internet at Evan's work (Holiday Inn). I have been sitting in the lobby next to the fireplace, cozy and warm. I bet people think I am doing homework, or maybe they think I'm on important business trip. Nope, I don't have a job, I am just blogging!

Here are some pictures of some things I've been doing. The first picture is Evan. His friend Jacob came over and the three of us played with construction paper. We made moustaches, as you can tell. I made a fang, that picture is in here somewhere. That's my Halloween costume, by the way. It was either that, or Gangsta Walrus. That is a picture for some other time. Its on my phone so I can't upload it! Evan says hi to everyone. He is also kind of offended that all of you assume I am dead.

In Asheville, NC (a freaking awesome city, comparable to San Francisco only cozier) there are a lot of bums. One bum stole a hat from a store and asked us if we had a cigarette. Then he got in trouble for taking the hat, then he chased Evan and I down the block. It was a funny adventure. Also, they have these cool cat sculptures on walls and lamp posts. I didn't take many pictures in Asheville. We ate at a pretty dang good vegan restaurant called Rosetta's. If you're ever in Asheville and you want good food, go there. Even if you think vegans are fags, the food is pretty much to die for. Same with Tomato Head (another Vegan restaurant) in Knoxville, TN. Yeah.

Last night, Jacob and Kia (friends of Evan's) took Evan and I to Max Patch in North Carolina. They view was breathtaking. The weather was nice too. We thought it would be cold, but it turned out to be actually pretty warm and I didn't need my jacket. Exciting.

Also at Max Patch, I told Evan to tackle Jacob and Kia. Mostly this just looks like a band photo. Like they're Peter Paul and Mary or something. They wish. I am going to catch up on some web comics. I may upload video later if I have nothing to do. Evan keeps coming up to me to say hi while he's supposed to be working. I hope he does not get in trouble on account of me. A lady is mopping the lobby and she keep smiling at me. That's how nice people are here.

So long, until next time I decide to wake up before 7:00am to catch a ride to Gatlinburg with Evan. I love you guys!

The Triflin' Hoedown!

That was a weird going away party! It was a lot of fun, and also completely silly.

More pictures by Nico here, if you're interested.

'T is vegetation's juggler...

Oh, and in the bathroom I made up a poem of the things I saw:

Does the fly upon the mirror
See thousands upon thousands
Of his eye?

Does the ant who crawls the toilet paper
Feel the cushy softness
Of 2-ply?

That's all I got you guys.

Slow Moe

Evan called me in the middle of my drawing. I almost gave up on the poor sloth, but he insisted I show him whatever came out of it. "Slow Moe" was pretty much his idea. So, I drew him a picture of a tree (the one on the right) because he likes trees, and we were talking about them earlier today. I went a little crazy with the filters, but I think it looks cool.

This isn't exactly what I want "Slow Moe" to look like. I want it to be more cartoony than this sloppy piece of crap. I think I'll spend my entire day looking at sloths on google images, and practice drawing them. I'll even draw some three-toed sloths, with mean faces. Perhaps I'll write a story about the bacteria that grows on their backs, with realistic looking sloths and little cartoon bacteria. Kind of like Osmosis Jones. That's a kinda cool movie, if you haven't seen it.

In other exciting news, Samantha McCarthy (long time friend and future president of the United States) just sent me a link to our High School Principal Dick Sauer's personal website. It is pretty ridiculous: Good Ol' Dick Sauers
The reason the right lense of his glasses is darker is because he is missing that eye. He was nice I guess, but he creeped me out.

This must be boring for everyone who isn't me.

Kirsten has generously offered to let me use her dwelling to say goodbye to some of you folks. On Friday! I'll keep you updated via livejournal, since none of you are reading this anyway. I promise it will be more exciting when I am gone.

Thank you, Daniel for letting me borrow your battery charger. Thank you everyone who is making me mix cds. Thank you, computer for being a laptop and having 2 weeks of music on you for me to listen to on the plane. Thank you, Airplane for letting me board you to go see some places I've never been to, not to mention letting me see the lovely and talented Evan Hurley. Please don't crash, okay?

Take a seat on my head!

X-mas in October

Hey mom, thanks for buying me new socks and underwear for my trip! Now I can finally throw away my "Day of the Week" Spongebob underwear you bought me for Christmas...about 3 years ago. Good riddance. Also, thanks for getting coffee with me, and buying me yummy vegan food. You're one cool cat, ma.

If anyone else wants to buy me underwear and socks, I would be delighted. Those are some of my favorite new things to get. Number one new thing to get would probably be jeans. I'm gonna go to Kirsten's house to steal a jacket from her roommate Katie. She stole the jacket from her landlord, so its only fair.

Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina

I am stealing this idea from Bret, because its a good one! While I am away in Tennessee, or wherever I may go, I will update this blog with pictures and juicy details of my travels! It will be fun and you will enjoy it! This is better than livejournal because I write really sarcastic/mean/gross things in there that only my friends think are funny. Well, only Risa usually but that counts. This will be a PG-13 rated blog!

My flight leaves on Monday, October 23, 2006 at 11:55PM from Ontario. I will arrive in Atlanta, GA at 6:30AM on Tuesday, October 24, 2006, and my flight leaves from there at 9:08AM. I will arrive in Knoxville, TN at 10:55AM. I don't know how long I'll be gone, but Evan and I plan on taking a Greyhound back to California once his grandpa is a little better. It will be a long and uncomfortable ride back, but we both think it will be really cool to stop in different cities along the way. We can't wait to travel together for real, so this will be good practice!

Also, this weekend will be my "hillbilly" going away party. For those of you interested, figure out a place to have it, and invite people to it. Risa has guidelines:

*No shoes

*No teeth

*No breeding outside your bloodline

Bye bye!

Evan, I give you permission to have some kind of party making fun of where I live. You have many things to make fun of. Here are some common themes for the desert: Tweaker Parties, Bro (wow I wonder if you know what a Bro is) Parties, Pretentious Spoiled Psuedo Intellectual Chain Smoking Pot Head Parties.
