100% Humidity GUARANTEED!!!

...or not. So there we were; steeling ourselves for potential flooding and/or lots and lots of water falling from the sky, and what do we get? SNOW!!! Tons and tons of freezing, falling, flaky white snow!! I WANT A REFUND!!!

Just kidding. I love the snow and its chilliness. It was simply ironic to be expecting the legendary rains of Washington, and getting snowed into a house that has no Internet =o (though I have Internet now). Or washer/dryer. (BIG =0)

In other news:
-It is nice to have horses in your front yard, especially when your landlord pays you 50 dollars a month to feed them twice a day. :D
-It is not nice, however, to be in a bonafide country-fried town where your closest neighbor is half an acre away, and all the rest are at least four acres away. Much more difficult to make friends that way.
-It is also difficult to go anywhere to meet people when you are snowed in.
-Torrey is good. I miss it a lot.
-Friends are good. I miss them SO MUCH that I neglected most of my school today due to staring at the ceiling from my bed in a desperate attempt to fight off maniacal depression. It was quite a dramatic battle. Polyatomic ions (Chemistry!) are never as interesting as when you have so many other melancholy things to dwell on!
-Laundry is good. Too bad we can't do any, because our town doesn't even really have a laundromat, and it would take 10 minutes to get to it anyways.

More depressed and angstily composed thoughts...

-OKAY! Here's the good part about Washington, since I can't seem to think of any others. It is by God's grace that I am here, safe and sound, in a beautiful state. It is by God's grace that I can see his beauty in so many ways that smoggy L.A. would never allow. It is by God's grace that I am here to do as He pleases, and by God's grace I will certainly complete His pleasure!

It is by God's grace that I have friends I can turn to, a family who loves me and whom I love, and a future which he has planned for me.

Thank you all for your wonderful support. I love and miss you all, and hope you are well.

The Adventures of Kakie, Bunny and Squishy: An Epic Tale of Caffeinated Proportions

Once upon a time, there were three friends: Kakie, Bunny, and Squishy. Kakie was beautiful, Bunny was fluffy, and Squishy was...well, Squishy. They all lived in the sunshiny state of So. Cal., and decided to have an Adventure. This is how it happened:

In the morning, they set off to church, and ate donuts. But first, Bunny and Kakie decided it would be good to pray before eating:

Bunny is reverent of her donuts.

Next, they go to In-n-Out for lunch. Bunny is hungry, so she drinks soda:



Eats a French fry...


And part of Squishy's ear...0.o


Next, Bunny ponders the meaning of life.


After In-n-Out, Bunny is STILL hungry, so she munches on some Starbucks.


Luckily, Starbucks survives long enough for Bunny to try on some fashionable headgear...



...And peruse the artistry of Starbucks.


Squishy, meanwhile, rejects the camera. Buahahaha!!! :D


Bunny agrees that it is hard to be emo in pink.


Kakie knows what it takes.


Kakie, Bunny and Squishy agree that, after a fine day of eating and enjoying the world, it is good to have friends.



Finis.

Happy Birthday, and other Statements of Fact.

*Ahem*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT!!!!

For those of you who are not aware as to who Scott is, he is Awesome. Along with that, he happens to be an excellent actor/speech-and-debater, an author, and an unusually efficient organizer of parties in which his parents are "murdered" with rubber swords and extract of grapefruit-seed juice. Unfortunately, my family and I are moving. On his birthday. Which is today. So I decided to try and make it up by posting on my blog how happy I hope his birthday is! :D Happy Birthday Scotty!

As far as other statements of fact are concerned, here we go:

-Staying up till 1:00 in the morning to pack for a trip (for which you must wake up by 5:00 in the morning) is not very happy for one's temper.
-Eating cinnamon rolls and bacon, however, is excellent for improving spirits.
-McDonalds gets really old. Really fast.
-The Peterson's van is stuffed more tightly than Betty Crocker's turkey on Thanksgiving.
-Going to Washington currently just feels like another vacation. It is, right?
-The Petersons are currently in Sacramento (more specifically Roseville). Next Stop: Oregon (I think).

That is pretty much the summupage of my trip thus far. I miss ya'll A VERY LOT!!! :(:(:(:(:( I will be sending many of you letters once we reach our FINAL DESTINATION. *dun dun DUN*

Coming Up Soon:
-The Adventures of Kakie, Squishy and Bunny: An Epic Tale of Caffeinated Proportions. (Complete with Pictures!)
-The Next Leg of the Journey

I feel special...

Isn't it wonderful that Saturdays yield nothing but pure lazi-/uselessness? :)

Alexis de Tocqueville is an interesting author. I'm not sure how much of his argument I agree with, but I do think that excellence in the arts, sciences (etcetera) in America is very much sub-par in comparison to that of Europe. Is there anything we can do to revive (or introduce, according to was Tocqueville thinks) a new level of excellence?

I wonder if it IS good for us to prize freedom and equality above all others...Do we?

One more week till lift-off...Washington, here we come! :) :P :( :D :'( :'(
