(no subject)
For once my break from school involved a state that involved something other than inbetween school and the austin-san marcos-wharton triangle that my life takes place in outside of school. I visited my brother Justin! I was very oftin (hehe, I just spelled often like loftin) overwhelmed, although not always by good things. It struck me repeatedly that this was only the second time in my life to see my brother, and I had thought the four days over the summer was too short. Two days this time was so hard. We visited Evergreen, which everyone but me swears is amazing (I felt very claustrafobic there, although I liked a lot, though not all of the arcitecture. They incorporated the wheelchair ramps so that they could wheel next to people using stairs and were beautiful and therefor not marginalized- or so it would seem from my perspective. I thoguht the forest was beautiful, though that was why I felt claustraphobic.)Then we ate at a mostly vegetarian restaurant. It also has vegan and meat eating options, if you're ever in Olimpia, Washington, check out the Urban Onion. We were still hungry so then we picked up Justin and Cherish (his wife)'s friend (and the misinster of their wedding) Rashell (sp?) and went to a mexican restauraunt where Justin, Cherish and I all ordered deserts ( got a churro, I've been wanting one for about three years, but, having not been at sea world or HEB I thoguht I could not get one, but I could, and this was much better than either of those places had to offer) and Rashell ordered a quesadilla. I've decided that we are the same person but of different differeations.
The next day Justin and Cherish and I went to Pike Place Market which is aparently the biggest touristy thing to do in Seattle. The biggest hoopla about it is the throwing fish thing but I was like, uhh, I'm a vegitarian? and but stood their waiting for the fish throwing anyways trying to make the sneer on my face look like a smile but no one throw any fish, so it was okay. Then I got some tea instead. I also played on Justin's Wii while I was there. It was amazing, I can finally participate in that aspect of current culture that is vidiogames, sort of. I nearly hit Justin in the head because I couldn't control the earge to play as if it was real tennis. I don't know how my 5 foot self has a 6 foot one brother.
The whole time though I was rather nauseous. I really thought that the first hill after getting out of the car was going to make me hurl when we went into Seattle to the market. Thouse who don't like talk of sick, turn back now. The flight there was terrible. I vomited. On both planes, and was in the airport for hours. I had about 6 hours of delays. Two of which we were held on the tarmack stuck in the plane in which many other people than myself, probably at least half a dozen in all, had thrown up so it stuuuunk. Also the wind reached 55mph at some points so the plane was rocking back and forth. On friday it took 14 hours from when I left my mom to when I saw Justin and he sheparded me to a gas station to get a gaterade bottle and some crackers from his pantry. The flight back was better. On monday it was only 11 hours and 4 hours of delays between when I left Justin to when I saw my mom. The sickening part of that was only in my head thank goodness (thanks to Tish's recomendation of sea sickness pills, ahh, pills the cure for my life these days, migraines, flying, everything!). I spent nearly an hour after playingly starting out the conversation with 'oh no, after 3 hours in an airport I can't handle a talk about politics' talking to a guy about polotics who, after about 20 minutes asked, 'wait, is george bush [usually I don't capitalize proper nouns out of laziness, his is out of his not diserving respect] a demacrat or republican, he's who I always go by' after I told him republican he sayd 'okay, yeah, so I'm a republican' and went on to talk about california tree huggers and car racing that he does. I stopped paying attention to marvel at how his fingers looked like perfectly cylindrical thick sticks. I had much preffered the conversation prior to that one about car rental places being open or not.
I can't wait to see Justin again over the summer, which I hope happens but I don't know if it will because I don't know what my job will be over the summer, but it's all about wine tasting and gosh darn it everyone loves alcohol and I don't! and I feel bad because our last coversation face to face was me lecturing him about that and he says he doesn't but I just think its nasty and so it seems like if you like it at all you must like it pretty much, especially if you drink it as regularly as I've seen him drink it on the rare occasions that I see him, which in the contradictory vocabulary of that sentence shows you how flimsy of a case I was/am making. But it just comes out of worry for people I care about doing things that may not be good for them. Which seems to be a family traight, well, in some of us.
Anyways, this is a long one, so I think I'll end it here! Especially because this is the second in the day! There was more to say about the break, and maybe already stuff to say about the term, but I think this is it for now, because it is 9:10 and I have at least two emails to write and I haven't checked what new stuff has come in and now I've decided that I'm moving to an new hall! Weee! Someone wanted to be in this hall and it means that I'll get to be in a hall with carpet (so my feet won't be as cold) and closer to friends. But it means cleeeeeaning, noooooo!
Okay, toodles!
