5 wierd things...

So I was tagged a while ago by sofia
here are the rules:
List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets.
Tag 5 friends and list them. Then, those people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people. Don't forget to let the people you tag know by posting a comment on their blog!

So I had to think about this alot...they are things I do, so I don't really think they are wierd, but others might. Ya know? Okay so here are my 5 things:

1- I some food issues. (alot) here is just one: "rotten food." If its been in the fridge for a couple of days- I don't eat it- it's "rotten." This only applies to left overs, fruit, etc. Alos milk- if I go a couple days without opening the milk container- I won't drink anymore of it. This rule does not apply to food that you would use to make a meal in the future such as sour cream, butter, etc.

2- yes I am married- no I don't wear a wedding ring and neither does he. why not? because its just a ring. I don't need him to wear a ring to know he's committed to me and vice versa.

3- When it is time to sleep- the closet doors have to both be over on the right hand side (We have sliding closet doors) or they have to be closed- both touching each wall. If they are in the middle, of the left hand side, or just kind of open I can't sleep until I fix it.

4- I can't stand to have hair wet touching my bare skin. After a shower my hair is up in a towel until I throw a shirt on. I don't like how it "sticks" to me- yuck.

5- I clean my ears out multiple times a day. I am very obsessive about it-I have to do it until my ears feel right. In the morning after a shower they feel wet inside so I have to clean them out until they feel dry and then I will normally clean them out at least 1-2 more times during the day. I think it stems from when I was little I had over active ears and if I didn't clean them out constantly then the wax would build up really bad- so I guess I am paranoid about that.

So I don't even think I know 5 people with blogs to tag them...hmmm...Alissa, kim, Alisen- I think that's it. Maybe instead of "tagging" people, you should just list a couple wierd things in my comments- whatever.

Now you guys know what a wierdo I am!

Body Worlds

Today Ran and I went up to Vancouver to go to the Telus World of Science which had a Body Worlds exhibit there. Its a little crazy to think about- they take actual human bodies and through this Plastinization process they preserve them. They can then show them in different poses- like which muslces would be flexed if you were skate boarding or something. I was really excited to go see it. I had been looking at it on the internet for a while and I never actually thought I would be able to see it.

BUT it was wierd- nothing seemed real. They all looked plastic. It wasn't creepy or spooky (not like I was hoping it would be) it just seemed like another exhibit. It all looked fake. Whith that being said, it was incredibly interesting and I liked looking at it all. They had all the organs out for you to see and alot of comparisons- normal lungs vs. smokers lungs, etc. They also had embyos from like 4-8 weeks which was amazing to see. After we got done with that exhibit we had fun going through the rest of the science center playing with the fun stuff like using leverage to lift the weight of a hippo, etc. Also the view from the science center is amazing and once again- I did not get lost.

pet album

so I have been super busy recently...working, doing projects, enjoying that last week before school starts. Let's see if anything new has happened...not so much. It has been rainy and I love the overcast skies. I just want to go out and buy myself a pumpkin. other than that...nothing. since I have nothing exciting to say here is a mini album I just finished for Treas. for a new mini book class we have going. Its all about my cute pup...and her rules to live by. For example: When in doubt, put it in your mouth it could be food OR when compnay is visiting act really attnetion starved so they will give you extra loves. You know just her weird little habits that I love so much.




*ETA* hey look I figured out how to make my picts. normal size instead of super huge!

Introducing...

our newest additions! A cute little clark clown fish and a long tentacle anenome. We have actually had them for about a month or so...but we wanted to make sure they were going to survive. This is out first attempt with an anenome and they are very sensative to changes in temp. ph, and salt. But after a month- they are still going strong, so I think we are in the clear. The fish absolutely loves the anenome which can be a bit annoying when we are trying to feed it- the fish will eat the food off its tentacles. Anyhow got to back to work- I have a ton of projects to work on from treas. hopefully I will get them done soon so i can post them.

My Space

I have been resisting joining myspace for a long time now. I did sign up a while ago, but only so I could search for some old friends. Ran has had a myspace for a few months now, but I just kept telling him that I didn't get it. I thought it was weird...stupid...waste of time...etc. Well, yesterday was my day off and I had alot of stuff that I needed to get done. Did I do it? no. Instead I decided that I should actually create a myspace page and then spend all afternoon and evening and most of the night searching for people and reading about what they have been up to. What's worse? when I went to bed I dreamed about it. Yeah, I dreamed about the comments people would post on my page and the people that I would get back in contact with. Seriously. I still can't believe that I broke down and made a page let along spent my whole day off on that site. its silly really. If you want to check out my page here is the link->myspace page

p.s. there is a cool gosling song that plays on it so you should go to it just to listen to that =)

a little gosling love

today is a Gosling love day. Ran showed a video they had posted on their my space for "Mr. Skeleton Wings." loved it. (copy and paste this url to view the video)

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1156785293

So then I decide to listen to their new album. (I haven't listened to it much) Then I am just searching for stuff on ebay and search for them to see if there is anything cool to bid on. You see, gosling used to be loudermilk. and when loudermilk put out a new album there were promo CD's and posters for sale on ebay which we got. So I wanted to see if there were any for Gosling. Well guess what I found?! A brand new- still in the wrapper- copy of their first CD as loudermilk- MAN WITH GUN KILLS 3!! Still in the wrapper!! This huge- there were only like 1000 of these CD's so to find one in the wrapper...ahhhh!! I can hardly believe it and of course ran is super excited- his copy of the CD is super trashed and he never listens to it anymore because he doesn't want to ruin it.

Anyhow- check them out at their myspace page: myspace.com/gosling

a little trip

I had yesterday off so ran and I headed up to Vancouver for the day. We went and saw the exhibits at the Vancouver art gallery. (I got us a membership to it as part of ran's birthday present) They had a really interesting exhibit of Haidia art. It was really quite impressive how extensive it was. They had wroks from a large span of time (like from 1700's to present day) so it was great to compare the works from the 1800's to the present day artists. I really enjoyed it...very interesting...glad I was able to see it. They ahd two other exbitions, but I wasn't really imrpessed with them. One was the critical works of arthur Erickson, who is an architect and has designed such buildings as the tacoma glass museum. and the other one was just some of works the gallery has collected. We also did some window shopping and just had fun. On the way home we stopped at White Rock for some amazing views of the sunset and ate at a little fish n' chips place. Very fun day...great to get away for a few hours...and best of all- we didn't get lost once! (last time we went to Vancouver we got very lost, but the time we stopped for a map, we weren't even on it anymore)

I {heart} NY

So I have really been wanting to make a mini album all about our trip to New york, but hadn't been inspired by anything. Then last night- it hit me and I was so excited to get started on it today. I copied my photos onto silver paper so they are metallic and I used this awesome 7 gypsies swatch book along with some great papers and stickers. So I worked all day on it and it is pretty much finished. (I still have a little bit to work on on) so I since I am so excited about it- I have to share:


This is a close up of the cover.


This is all the pages spread out. The fronts of the pages simply highlight all the things we saw like the met, central park, lady liberty, etc.


This is one of the backs of the pages. On the back I put some fun pictures, stickers, and this is where I will do my journaling...eventually. I think I am also going to add some transparent pages that have journaling and maybe even some transparent pockets to hold some memorabilia.
Thanks for looking!
