Yesterday Bryn ran a half-marathon and I took photos of her, but I must develop them first. I was very proud of her. She made running a half-marathon look easy. The race was held on Alameda Island which I have never been to, but it seemed quite nice. Lots of empty used car lots.

I also washed Dad's car because the colour spectrum of bug guts on the windshield was one previously uncatalogued by man. Truly, an intense array of color. It's been nice out.

Half Marathon!

I finished my first half marathon today in 2 hours and 6 minutes! A half marathon is 13.2 miles.
It was awesome sauce! My shoulders are so cramped but luckily my sister is here to pinch them.

I leaped in front of every camera man along the way. The best part was sprinting to the finish with a big crowd cheering for me. 

Free goodies from the race: a champagne glass(with See Jane Run logo) filled with chocolates, LOTS of chocolate, a t-shirt, energy pills/bars/drinks, free massages, and champagne, but I didn't get any champagne.

Then I sat in a cold bath and took two naps. And now I'm getting ready to break my vegetarianism-something I do very rarely.
Yesterday I convinced Dad to buy me sugar-free popsicles, which felt like a small but poignant triumph over adversity, even though it wasn't.

Jasmine and I also drove home from Ashland yesterday. It was a long drive and we wanted to kill lots of bad drivers. Because there are seven hours between Ashland and home, we had the opportunity to make up some good car games. Here are two:
1) Every time you see a US Xpress Enterprise truck, Vulcan high-five everyone in the car and use the time to make many dumb Star Trek jokes.

2) Every time you see a "Yes on 8!" bumper sticker, you must immediately tell the gayest story possible. Ideally this story includes themes such as: gay marriage, gay babies, gay love, gay families, and homosexuals not ruining the sanctity of marriage/the Californian constitution.

lovely friends!

Yesterday I fell off a foot bridge but I think it is going to scar anyway. Rubbish. Jasmine and Sereena and some of her friends and I made cupcakes last night as well.

The day before. . .we made brownies!

Purple Lovers

















There are certain people in the world who label themselves as purple lovers. My mom's friend Kyle is one of them. That's why I made these fabulous purple tie-dye shirts for her!

Other purple lovers: My mom, Lynn, Cindy 
=D
Yesterday Jasmine and I drove up to Oregon with Sereena to see her house in Ashland. It was about a seven hour drive not including necessary stops for sandwiches and milkshakes.

I am taking lots of photos so Bryn and Lynn can see Sereena's house!

I Miss Camden!

Today is Memorial Day and I miss Camden.

I ran 10 miles this morning and realized that cheering for people is all about yelling louder than they are breathing.

Yesterday was my friend's birthday. I don't know how we entertained ourselves for more than 6 hours in a park. My guess: it was the bubbles. And dancing helps.

I am going to be taking more pictures to make this blog more exciting!
