memorial day weekend

on saturday i went to tung and julie's wedding. congratulations tung and julie! i have no pictures because i kept forgetting to take out my camera. they had their reception in the boondocks of maple valley. i almost turned around, thinking that i had missed a crucial turn, but alas, i still had more to go before getting to the lodge. dinner was buffet style and the young people were the last to go. we got food a little after 9pm. it's ok because the food was still hot. afterwards, i drove home to portland. i think i fell asleep a couple of times. i probably should've pulled over and stopped...but i just wanted to get home. so dangerous. this is why i hate driving longer distances at night. i get sleepy.

portions of sunday and monday were spent helping wendy and josh print/cut/paste/stuff their wedding invitations. we were like sweatshop labor, with better working conditions. i like wendy's gocco machine. it's fun to silk screen print. sometime between invitations, we went to see madagascar. it was enjoyable and funny, but i wouldn't watch it again, and i wouldn't buy the DVD. contrary to popular belief, i do not buy every DVD that gets released. later, i went to hang out with mike and ken and got to see mike's condo by the waterfront and meet his outgoing roommate. a very nice place, blocks from the pillsner room/harborside.

on tuesday i cleaned up my room and unpacked the small amount of stuff i moved home. my plan is to move portions back home to portland every time i go back and visit, in the hopes that my big move at the end of august back home to portland for a few weeks and then to LA won't be so bad. later, i drove back to seattle. this time i was just not alert, no sleeping, but definitely zoning out. i had to buy myself a dairy queen blizzard. it helped. ice cream makes everything better.

and now, i am at home. i didn't go to work today. i feel like i'm sick...or something. but, i have no typical cold/flu symptoms. no sore throat, fever, runny nose, etc. but i'm extremely tired and my body just hurts, like i've just been working out. and yesterday, on my way to work, i was falling asleep! it was later that i realized that my drive to portland and back was plagued with a tiredness/sleepiness that was abnormal. and all day yesterday and i just had an odd sensation of not being quite right. bah. ana thinks it has to do with my bug bites. i got two big bites on friday night and they itched like crazy. so now i'm waiting for the nurse to call me back to tell me if it's fatal. what? melodramatic hypochondriac? yes, i am.

gar - i did briefly consider the possibility of the west nile virus. but i don't think i have that.

i don't think it's mono. since i'm feeling better already.

and josh...NOT possibly pregnant. punk.

i think the only people who wouldn't be surprised about Steph having a bun in the oven is Ryan's parents.

What are you implying my young apprentice? :o

Not having mono because you are feeling better? :o

So that means you DID make out with somebody than, or did you forget that little pre-requisite for getting mono? :o :o

Wouldn't be surprised by having a bun in the oven? :o :o

Why wouldn't they be surprised? do they know something I don't?

I think the dark side is clouding my perception of you.

Turned to the dark side have you? Not so innocent anymore you must be ;) :p
