It might seem like a dream but its real to me

September 25, 2006

So… Does anyone really play name that tune with the titles of my posts? Just wondering…

Yeah… So… Evidently if you type the words “Pete Ashdown” in your blog, the campaign manager Brett will hunt you down and read your blog. Okay okay, so he doesn’t really “hunt you down” per se, but it’s always pretty shocking when somebody you’ve only known for a few weeks tells you that they stumbled upon your blog. It’s also pretty embarrassing when the post they stumbled upon talks non stop about how “awesome” everything is. I promise I actually have a brain and am participating in the campaign because of my ideological beliefs, not just because everyone there is so “awesome.” Having said that, making new friends there has been a welcome result of my volunteering. Hmm I hope I didn’t make myself look even more stupid… oh well. Whatever. And Brett? Next time you should leave a comment. :)

Anyways I am no longer house sitting for Darby… Did I tell you I was house sitting? Because I was last week, and it was pretty fun. I’m pretty bummed out that I’m back in Sandy. It was really nice living in Salt Lake. I think I am going to make more of an effort to move out by at least next fall. Stupid Jetta. (Random note: The kid sitting next to me keeps tapping his face and popping his jaw. Friggin weirdo…) Anywho, yeah I want to move out.

Last weekend was pretty AWESOME (I am really insecure about saying that now) I saw a couple shows and it was a really good time. I went to Flogging Molly and I have to say it was a lot better then I thought it would be. I think I scared the crap out of Marci though… Sorry again about that… Friday night as always was girls’ night and as always, it was the highlight of my week. I mean really, nothing gets better than action figures, plastic teeth and crown burger. Wellp… seeing how I am in class I should probably pay attention…
Have a good’un

What happened to the blinking red lights?

Don’t get me wrong, I love the Beastie Boys, but seriously, do we still need to hear “fight for your right to party” and “girls” TEN TIMES A DAY? I MEAN HONESTLY THOSE SONGS WERE RELEASED BEFORE I COULD GO TO GRADE SCHOOL. Speaking of things that occured before I was born, did you know Orrin Hatch has been in office since before I and, most of you im sure, were even born?

I’m still doing volunteer work for the Pete Ashdown for senate campaign, and consequently I’ve become more politically aware, and its pretty freaking awesome. I go to the campaign headquarters on Wednesdays and Fridays and just do random tasks (anything from research to data entry etc) and so far its been really awesome. I’m really excited to be working for such a good cause, If you have some spare time click on Petes name or just go to www.peteashdown.org. If you don’t have spare time, you should make some because this is a really important campaign, and Pete is a great candidate.

Where is My Mind?

It’s official, I am a bigoted hight-est. Just ask Sarah. I’m actually writing this post from my art history course, No I haven’t finally purchased a laptop, this message has been transcribed from my notebook.. ANYWAYS how was your Labor day weekend? Mine was nothing short of fantastic.

Friday night Marci bo Barci and I went to our place and then afterwards decided to go to the off Broadway theatre for some improv comedy. It was really fun; you should try if you’ve never been. The crowd there was really small, but I think that just added to how fun it was. The actors actually did a skit that took place at the ICEE Company, so that was pretty funny. After the club, we met up with Sarah for Chai at the Coffee Break. It’s a pretty cute coffee shop, and they have pretty good chai. We met some new friends, and Sarah may have met the love of her life, but we’re not sure yet. (yeah yeah you hate me the size of a grain of rice…)

Saturday was also an awesome day, I spent the entire day with people who I adore. Saturday morning I went to the farmers market with Jessie and her roommate, an it was really fun. I really love the farmers market, they always have the coolest stuff, and you can get full on free samples J. After the market, I went home to a family get together with my dad’s side of the family. It was really awesome. I don’t think I’ve sat down and really talked with them since my dad passed away, so seeing them definitely brought back some awesome memories. Its crazy how fast time flies. I think we are going to try and get together more often, and that excites me. Saturday night I went to dinner with Sarah and saw Talladega nights. Hee I love Will Ferrell. After the movie, we went back to my house and just watched some tv, all in all, Saturday was awesome.

THEN ON SUNDAY Mom, Mikey and I went to the Mountain Men Rendezvous at Fort Bridger. It was really fun. My dad used to always take us to the rendezvous when I little, so it was sort of a visit to the past again, but like Saturday, it was a welcome one. I forgot how cool that place is. It was fun seeing people dressed up like it was the early 1800s. I am so happy to be living now instead of 100-200 years ago.

I spent Monday at home and with the girls shopping, it was fun. I told you it was a fantastic weekend. Looks like this weekend should also be pretty awesome, I’m going to the state fair, and to Greek-fest. I’m excited. Things in my life are insane right now, but I love every second of it. This week I signed up to volunteer for the Pete Ashdown Campaign and I am really excited about it. I will be doing office work for them and they talked to me about being one of their photographers, which blows my mind. I think this will be an awesome experience and I can’t wait. Anyways, I have art history to read about (remember the 5 things I want to accomplish this semester? Yeah I’m all over it.)
Have a good’un.
