Doesn't sound like fun

Storypeople of the Day:

When do you get to be a grown up? she said.  When you read & write & lie without laughing, I said & her eyes got big & she said she didn't know it was that hard.

~B. Andreas

Maybe being grown up isn't at all that its cracked up to be.

I love laughing. Maybe I just won't grow up. 

... where the heart is

Some days, home feels further away than others... 

6,000+ miles or not

This is how we say

Good Morning

Buenas Dias

Hello

Hafa Adai

Good Afternoon

Buenas Tatedes

Good Evening

Buenas Noches

and until tomorrow

esta agupa...

I'm wondering...

I'm in class right now... clearly distracted...

I can't help but think about all the things I want to do in my life. 

travel across the world, live abroad, make my own home, see new things, meet new people, keep old people in my life, have a family, read lots of books, change the world, learn yoga, etc. etc. etc.

But...

What is it I'm meant to do with my life?

Life is a little scary. 

Spring Break

I spent Spring Break in Los Angeles & Vegas.  It was wonderful, restful, & filled with good moments.  I spent it with new & old friends, in the sun, eating a lot, reading, & in the car... a lot.  So to the people who helped me fill in my Spring Break, infinite thanks! 

It was what I needed:)

Venice. 

Looking out from inside.

Venice Beach. 

I bet he's been on a lot of adventures in his long life. 

He's retired now & likes to take long walks on the beach.

He seemed like a George to me.

Santa Monica Pier. 

Beautiful Day.

Mt. Shasta.  

Road to North.

Las Vegas. 

It was windy this night but was welcomed brightly. 

New York New York. 

I got lucky on this shot; images were going very quickly. 

It was a Spring Break Escape.

MGM. RAWR. 

I have this theory, that because his exterior is some sort of bronze metal

that his heart is actually made out of gold.

I bet he's actually a sweetheart stuck in a city of sinners. 

The Cupcakery Goodness. 

We celebrated a friend's birthday! 

Parking Lot Night. 

We got bubble tea, sat out in a parking lot, took pictures, & laughed. a lot. 

4AM. 

We played Cranium, sculpted & laughed.

April Fool's Day

There are too many things to write about that I'm feeling a little overwhelmed about all the possibilities. I'm actually just feeling overwhelmed. Completely. 

It's snowing in Seattle...

So much for "April showers bring May flowers."

April snow brings May glow...?

I was never a poet.

But so you come out of this with a little bit of something, here is a picture of our April Fool's prank on our supervisor
