Lost ID
About 2 weeks ago I had lost my Tech ID at the Climbing Club party....or so I thought. I happily went to the ID office 2 days later to get a new not broken ID with a new picture that looks more like me. About 2 seconds ago I was sitting on the couch looking through my wallet and I found a pocket that I had never seen.....or so it seemed. And what do I find......of course my old ID. Go me. That means that I actually kept my record of never losing anything. So I simply put my old ID back into the pocket that I never even knew existed. End of story.

Zen Saying
Right is not right; so is not so. If right
were really right, it would differ so clearly
from not right that there would be no need
for argument. If so were really so, it would
differ so clearly from not so that there
would be no need for argument. Forget
the years; forget distinctions. Leap into
the boundless and make it your home.

Survey
And noone has filled out my survey yet. I thought at least one or two people might fill it out. This is sad :(
Land of the Trees aka Greater Greater Houston Area
I got back to Lake Jackson on Wednesday and it hasn't been too boring yet. I got a bunch of things taken care off such as registering for my history class this summer, ordering a parking permit since I get my car next year. Weee, I'm so excited. Besides that I drove my lil bro around a bunch (And yes I am gonna be a Soccer Mom someday), worked out a bunch, started cooking since I really suck at it and I gotta learn before I move into a house next fall and I watched Les Miserable today. My High School Choir and Orchestra performed the entire musical. It was just plain awesome. I recognize a bunch of sophomores from High school and then it dawned on me that they are seniors now. Time just flies, it's amazing. They haven't changed much at my High School. The huge picture with all the drill team members including me still hangs in the hallway. The mural we painted my senior year is still there as well. My High School even smells the same as always. Anyway, that's enough about my high school memories. Back to the real world. Tomorrow I have an appointment with Dr. Flueger so that he can tell me when he is going to take out my wisdom teeth (Fun) and then I have yoga class in the evening. I guess that will give me something to do so that I don't get totally bored. Oh well, I think I'm gonna go work on my puzzle. Later...

Sunscreen Rant
The one thing I never understood is why people hate sunscreen. Dude, sunscreen is your best friend. Seriously......I'm not kidding. I know I sound like my mom, but if there is one thing I hate it is people complaining that they got burned and now it stings and they are peeling. Duh!!! Ultraviolet light tends to do that to ya. Common sense people.....common sense. I don't care if you are trying to be as dark as your Asian cousin or if you are only in the sun for 30 minutes or if you normally don't burn. If you are freaking white, put on sunscreen. If you ever checked the box that says Caucasian on any paperwork, put on sunscreen. Ok, that's it for now, just don't walk up to me and complain that you are burned cause the first thing I'll ask is: "Did you put on sunscreen?"

First Faceplant
I had an awesome day today. Class was easy. I had an interesting talk about PMS with a couple of my guyfriends. Climbing was fun as always and then I met up with a bunch of friends at One Guy's. After that it was girl's night with watching the Bachelor and Extreme Makeover. The former made me wonder how in the world a guy can kiss three girls on one date and the latter made me appreciate how beautiful, hot and sexy all of my friends are. Then I accomplished the incredible feat of doing my first, fullout faceplant. It was nothing too spectacular. I just tried to put on my flip flops, lost my balance completely and fell face first to the ground. It was just plain awesome. Go me. :)

Phoenix Boulder Blast
Phoenix was freaking awesome. Climbing right next to some of the best and hottest climbers in the world is just simply amazing. And all of these climbers in one spot. Just plain awesome. Climbers are the nicest folks too, I didn't meet a single unfriendly person this entire weekend. Wow, I'm still blown away from what I saw this weekend. Chris Sharma, Lisa Rands, Katie Brown, Dyno Comp. Wow, wow, wow. It was totally worth the 13 hour road trip. Although it totally wore me out. I overslept this morning.......again, and showed up to class with the biggest fro ever. Thus I'm going to bed now. (Dang it, I still have to unpack as well) Oh well, nighty night....

Phoenix...here I come.
Leaving for Phoenix tonite to go the the Bouldering Blast. It's gonna be so much fun. 700 climbers in one spot. Fun ;) I'm gonna be exhausted when I come back, but it is all good. And it will be a nice change from the stress this week. Especially from the ordeal with the doctor. I went to get my immigration medical examination done today. And they tested me for tuberculosis. First time that I have ever been tested, thus little did I know that I have to show up 2 days later to get it checked out. We'll I'm gonna be in Phoenix two days from now. So what I have to do is find a nurse in Phoenix that can check if I have tuberculosis or not. I hope some of the climbers are nurses. Oh and another thing I have to do, just to make my to do list even longer. I have to go get my immunization record translated because it is in German. Blah. Way to much work just to get the Green Card. I honestly should just marry the next American guy that walks my way and make it much easier. Oh well, gotta go eat and then attend 2 meetings and a lecture before I leave to have fun in climbing.

First Epic Climbing Trip
I went to Hueco this Sunday to go climbing. It was fun as always. Hueco Tanks just rocks. I didn't sent anything major but a couple of V0s and V1s. Local Flakes and Nobody gets out of here alive are awesome problems ( and very very frustrating b/c I can't do them......yet). But this is not the epic part. We left Hueco at about 7ish Lubbock time. After about an hour drive, the Surburban decided it didn't need it's serpentine belt anymore and broke it. We came to a stop right about midway between El Paso and Carlsbad which is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Since I forgot to bring my pantyhose on this trip we didn't have anything to replace the belt with so the Volkswagen ended up driving all the way back to El Paso to get the parts. We finally got back on the road at about 11ish, I think and got to Lubbock at about 3:20. I slept most of the time back therefore it didn't really bother me. Things I learned though: Tortillas with crunchy peanut butter and honey are good and you can waste a lot of time throwing rocks at empty glass bottles on fence posts.

Cosmetics and Songwriters
Got this from Kristen's profile. Just go to google, type in your first name and see what it comes up with.
Since I haven't figured out how to pictures in this blog the links will have to do :)
Some Russian website. I have no clue what it says. I don't even think it's Russian looks more like Greek.

Cosmetics and Therapeutics......interesting
www.anika-cosmetics.de
www.anikatherapeutics.com
Author Anika Malone. The book seems kinda interesting. Maybe for a short summer read

Interesting Nickname
One time in churchcamp my nickname used to be sexgoddess.....
And I'm not kidding. The way this nickname came about is actually pretty simple. At one of the orientations for the camp we played Gummibear Tarot. The rules are simple: You draw five gummibears out of the bag and then look how many of each color you got. I ended up having 3 red, 1 orange and 1 white. You then look up the color combination in the official Gummibear Tarot book and read what it says. In a nutshell mine said that I have crazy sexual fantasies. Having sex with teachers, neighbors, best friends and the like. Thus the name sexgoddess and that one stuck for the entire 2 weeks of camp. We ended up changing it to Goddess of Sex just so that we could say Goddess of S. in front of the little kids. This was church camp afterall. Wow, I can't believe I actually had such a nickname. I guess those were my crazy and wild German Days ;)

Green Card
I talked to my dad yesterday and he had some awesome news for me. He talked to some lawyers in Phoenix ( I have no clue why Phoenix) and they said they are going to speed up our Green Card process. That means that I should be able to work at the latest by next December. And I finally get.......huge drum roll please........my very own and beloved Social Security Number. Yes, I'm so excited. Of course we have to fill out tons of paperwork and take pics and go to the doctor to make sure that we aliens don't have any diseases (like we didn't have time during the last five years to spread Mad Cow Disease). Once all of that stuff is done and I get my working permit etc. they can't kick me out of the country anymore. (Unless we steal Georges cowboy hat.) It then is gonna take about a year or so to finally get the Green Card. So everything is pretty much worked out. But if everything fails there is always plan B.......to find some hot American guy I can marry. :)
