These pictures are from Monday, June 19 (when I went to the John Ball Zoo with Carolyn, Kelsey, and Jacob) and Tuesday & Wednesday, June 20 & 21 (when I was in the Berkley/Royal Oak/Huntington Woods area with Angie).
John Ball Zoo!
Flamingos!!!
Capybara! The world's largest rodent...they look like giant guinea pigs, and I think it looks like the beaver dude in Narnia.
River otters! They're cuddling!
Aww. =) Fondue and fon-DON'T!
Guess what Carolyn was so excited about??
Kelsey and I on the bucking broncos...erm...barrels?
Jellies!! Everytime I see/hear about jellyfish, I think of Nemo and "Jellyman" haha. Oh, Crush.
I certainly didn't get that waterfall in this picture, but I DID get Carolyn.
Siberian Tiger!! This guy and the bear and the wolverine (in their respective cages) were pacing around and looked really sad.
This was either the grizzly bear or the coastal brown bear. Either way, it got "very friendly" with the other bear.
Billy goat's gruff!!
Some sweet monkey
Another, sweeter money. He stuck his tongue out alot and was eyeing up Jacob. He's the guy that plays the leaf in Jungle Book!
I can't remember what this guy is, but he looks a little paranoid, no? ;)
A Cayman...a.k.a. a big little guy.
And what's a zoo visit without these....
Kelsey and Carolyn
Me and Jacob

Berkley/Huntington Woods/Royal Oak!
Angie and I were Alicya's birthday surprise!
Lovely ladies!
Jess has pretty eyes and I loved her purple eyeshadow so I insisted on taking a ridiculously close-up photo of her eyes.
I helped hang that!
And these!
...See?
I made friends with the scarecrow guy in Alicya's yard...
Unwrap the sexxy
Alicya's older sister was bent on getting her crunk
But she was a good, responsible girl
Lauren looks pretty with Hello Batty's bow...
...but I think Chris looks even prettier! Don't you?
Best. Presents. Ever.
THEN...
Bill and Nina drove for a while to come see me!
They stole me away from the party and we took over Royal Oak and I took this severely off-center photo with self-timer outside of Caribou coffee.
Then we went to Leo's Grand Coney Island
Haha.
The Ninaface.
Okay. Folks. This boy is eating a CONEY DOG WITH A FORK AND KNIFE.
After getting "turned around" for a little bit, Bill drove back to Alicya's house, and I hugged Nina and Bill and said goodbyes, then re-entered the part-ay.
Lauren Lebow and me. <3
SMILE!
Myself and the birthday girl herself!
I think this is my new favorite picture ever.
Saying goodbyes. Chris is attacking Lia about something.
This morning, four lovely ladies went to iHop (hahaha I am keeping it like that) for breakfast.
Sporting the Ralston shirt.
The few. The proud. The Lauren.
Oh yeah, I got a root canal done Tuesday morning. My mouth was propped open for 2 hours, I got 6 shots of anaesthetic in my cheek and gums and was allowed to stay awake for the entire procedure, I watched as needles that looked like they should have been long enough to come out the bottom of my jaw get stuck into my tooth and felt the pressure (but no pain) in my gums...then they cleaned out the canals with some kind of solution that ended up burning the corner of my top lip (it hurrrts)...when the procedure was FINALLY done, and they took the prop out of my mouth my jaw was so tense and so used to being in that position that IT COULDN'T CLOSE right away and it hurt to do so! Most of the pain I have now is jaw soreness. Oh, vicodin, you are my friend.
I watched A Walk to Remember tonight. And bawled my eyes out.
