Vines are taking over the garden.

Now tell me, are these not the coolest socks ever.

One of the best birthday presents. I just need

someone to play with.

My crazy looking cough pearls from the doctor.

Only I can get sick in the middle of the summer with

100.7 fever.

The laundry basket's shadow was laughing at me.

Part of my compensation for Shawn throwing

my crow into the crowd. One of the tapes from the

Salty Eyes video. Way cooler than the crow.

Saying goodbye to the city :(

I didn't want to leave really.

The Golden Gate Bridge

We did a cruise around the bay for my birthday.

The Matches last show :(

It was bittersweet.

Sea Lions! They were sooo cute, but sooo stinky.

There were at least a 1000 of them laying on each

other, on all the little docks.

Bird by Bird debut.

It was ridiculous how good they were.

Plane ride to San Francisco!

I have no idea what state we were over.

But it looked pretty cool.

Rachael and I made a really good pizza

I found this shirt while cleaning, its soo old.

Krystle, Nikki and I had matching ones, I think

for chorus in 4th grade.

My mom and I were cleaning out some

of my old bins in storage. I found an entire

bin of just OM stuff. Dan made this cat.

I miss OM so much.

So Maria is beyond awesome. Not only did she bake me

a cake, I got it a week before my birthday since I wont be

home. It tastes as good as it looks.

On our way home we kept passing signs with weird

names of places. This was one of the worst, next to Slaughter

Neck. I'd probably never go to this beach, it sounds like a bad

horror movie. I looked up why its called that, not very

interesting. It was either after the horse shoe crabs that would

wash up on shore and die, or a local postmaster named William

Slaughter.

Ooh?

"And like Edgar Allen Poe, I'll die

on these streets of Baltimore"

At his new resting spot and the old, people left

notes to him with either flowers or a trinket.

Something that was left I found weird was a picture.

Weather worn on the front, but on the back it read

this very long thing about how they missed him so

much, it was written as if she knew him. Interesting.

I didn't have my swim trunks or flippie

floppies. But I was on a boat! A dragon

boat*. Only my family, no one under the age of 19

anymore, would go on a dragon paddle boat together.

Apparently you can't leave your bike out in Baltimore.

Lunch at work.

I made a boat, well really a raft. I just

need a rain storm now.

My mom wanted to melt out the wax of a few old

candle holders. I guess she didn't pay attention to it.

New temporary curtains until I think of something better.

Trying to reconstruct a shirt but Scout

wouldn't let me.

Oh man I love work sometimes.

Made Dan a pair of shorts out of

a t-shirt.

Making a tank top.

Dying my black and white zebra hoodie

to be black and red.
