the princess and the pea, plus a meme time-waster
I'm still trying to work out the last details of my trip to Portland in two weeks, but apparently felt like wasting some time doing a dumb meme (see below).
I'm planning on camping on the way up and back to cut the drive time in half; once in Valley of the Rogue state park and once near Crater Lake. Then staying in a hostel in downtown Portland. I'm super excited to be visiting my brother and cousins and seeing the city I've been told "I would love" over and over again. Alrighty, better get crackin' if I'm going to finish booking everything. Feel free to share Portland advice and/or stories!
Oh, I have to upload a picture - this morning Peter found a pea with a face! It's the creepiest thing *ever*! I'll post it after my camera battery is charged.
Here's my meme time-waster:
1. What time did you get up this morning? 8:45am
2. Diamonds or pearls? Not much for either, really, but I like black pearls (freshwater pearls?). Or maybe little diamonds.
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Wall-E; Super cute! Gotta stay up on the kids films for work. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it)
4. What is your favourite TV show? Hmmm...I don't know, I don't think I have one because I usually get irritated with shows after a while, plus I only get 5 channels on my TV. I watched "Spaced" online and thought it was pretty funny, though.
5. What do you usually have for breakfast? coffee and cereal
6. What is your middle name? Johannah
7. What food do you dislike? Tomatoes, mushrooms, bananas, and some stinky cheese that I smelled but did not taste in Sweden.

9. What kind of car/truck do you drive? I borrow my mom's car(s) which include a Mercury Sable and a VW Jetta. I occasionally drive a 1966 Mustang. ;)
10. What characteristic do you despise in people? Superiority complexes, closed-mindedness, lack of empathy, etc.
11. Favourite clothing? Jeans and black tshirts with dumb images or logos on them.
12. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation where would it be? New Zealand
13. Favourite brand of clothing? I really don't care; if it doesn't look like crap or cost a fortune I'll wear it. Though I'm trying to step up my wardrobe a tiny bit these days...or plan to eventually, that is.
14. Where would you retire to? Maybe Sweden
15. Most memorable birthday? not sure
16. Favourite sport to watch? Synchronized swimming
