Started a blog of my own so i could get my writing out there as a sort of resume. If anyone wants to poke about feel free but be warned it may be slightly offensive occasionally. 

*POOF* a blog.

Mino

from when we first got her... she looks like a kitty of the soul eating variety i think.

back to normal(ish) life.

all done pledging! i'm in a sorority now! yay! pictures when i get them from people. 

mud and "sisters"

i'm pledging a sorority,  not the girly cheerleader-y type you see in movies and big universities, the lets get drunk and go to the beach, pretend to be lesbians to make gross guys at the bar stop trying to take us home, defend each other to the death, kind of sorority, you know, the cool kind....:P and therefore will be fairly non-communicative for several weeks. 

made me curious though, is anyone else a member of anything? 

went mudding with a couple of my friends in the "hurricane" last night.  a jeep full of girls, tearing down back roads in the middle of the night with angry music blasting, stirring up as much mud as we could and driving through really big puddles. lots of fun.

oh right, the crew.

ok so this is most of the people i worked with this summer. Front to back is Ryan, Anneliese, Lacey(in the green) Ed, Chris, and me.  not in the picture are Mandie, Steven (aka Smalls), the captain and three massive newfoundlands. 

we were all hanging out on a wooden fishing boat at our dock watching the lightning that was preventing us from going sailing that afternoon. The Margaret Todd is Steel so we try not to be on it when there's lightning, and tend to refer to it as the floating frying pan.

big boat.

pictures from the summer.

This is the boat i lived and worked on. the Margaret Todd

i mostly worked up in the front of the boat tending the three sails you can see the corners of and signaling back to the captain so he didn't hit anything.

this is my friend Chris untangling the flag at the top of a 90 foot mast. 

Not in Bar Harbor anymore

I made some good friends, went sailing a lot, and it was pretty awesome. Minus the mold. The rest of the crew were cool people and we got into quite bit of mischief, hubcap frisbee on the beach, plastic flamingos tied to other people's boats, general silliness. I'll put some pictures up once i find the cable to my camera.

in the meantime...

i got a tattoo this summer.

Went up to UMM the other day and finally got signed up for classes (mostly). I'll be taking: Intro to Psychology, Ghosts in World Literature, Advanced Web page Design, voice lessons, and hopefully a sailing class (talk about an easy A!). I'll try to remember to keep everyone updated on my more, relation appropriate, adventures in Machias this fall.
