Alright Tumblrs
I’m headed to northern Minnesota, where the internet is scarce but the guns are plenty!
Headed up there to go shoot stuff…and maybe have a new years party somewhere…
Might not hear from me til Friday, when I shall return, hopefully with pictures of our escapades…

well this sucks...
i was going to go up north for the week and hang out with the guys up there, but now i won’t be going up there until wednesday…what can i do with monday and tuesday now??
boy: i'm so sorry but this is the best gift i can give you
boy: my time, and me, here, that's the best gift i can give
girl: why are you sorry? all i want is you.
boy: because i want to give you the world. i want to give you everything. and i can't.
So I went ice-skating today for the second time in my life (I know I’m sheltered, only doing it for my second time, especially coming from the state of hockey, but whatever…)
I know I really do not look that good when I’m out there, but I’m now 2 for 2 as to not falling. That’s right, I’ve never fallen while ice skating…
I’m even starting to get to...
Got out to the barn today...
had to help with chores today. Good thing it was warmer (35). Chores are so much easier than they used to be. I’m so glad we finally got the robot (getting close to two years now). The girls (the cows) seemed to be doing all right.
I think that this might be the only day I’ll have to help out there, which is fine. One day of good ‘ol farm work is enough for me…
Today was a great day
well worth the wait…I don’t know how I’ll be able to wait at least 5 months before another day like today…

T- 6 days until I move to Minneapolis.
Better get packing.

Thanks House...

I have not yet gone out to the barn to see the...
because I figured I’d end up out there at some point because I’d get put to work out there…
It’s looking like that will happen on Friday…
At least it will be somewhat warm then…relatively…

I can't believe I'm "cheering" for the Green Bay...
to beat the Bears…
I big part of me really wants to study abroad next fall. I’m thinking I’d go to EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. But right now I’ve got a few problems to consider.
First, of course, of course is cost. It definitely can’t cost more than a semester at CMU, cause then it is a definite no. One thing is that it is an exchange program, so I’d pay CMU tuition and then go...
there are sweet things that i would love to post...

…but I really just want to tell those sweet things to you.
I bought gas today for the first time in four...
and it cost less than $20 to fill my tank…
Amazing…

I am the only person who thinks words look weird every once in a while? Words that are spelt correctly, but you just look at them and go “Wait, that’s not right.”
That just happened.
I get that ALL the time!!

My top albums of 2008
This is my list of my top albums that came out in 2008…it only has six on it, mostly because I’m a poor college student and I actually BUY albums (well, 5 of 6 on this list…)
I’m not a music critic, so you won’t get very good explanations for why they are placed where they are…so without further ado…

Architect,
You’re quite amazing. I just wish I saw you more often. You always lock yourself away working on your projects for days on end. If I just saw you more, I might just work up the courage to ask you out.

Franken vs. Coleman: Still Counting in Minnesota →
If it had been Minnesota instead of Florida in 2000, this is what we would have found out: Voters are idiots. You make a clear, statewide ballot with neat little ovals to fill in? Some voters will put in check marks and X’s. They’ll fill out two ovals. They’ll mark one candidate’s oval in ink, try to erase that mark and then put their initials next to their correction, even...

Turnout in presidential elections hit 40-year high →
Final figures from nearly every state and the District of Columbia showed that more than 131 million people voted, the most ever for a presidential election. This year’s total is 61.6 percent of the nation’s eligible voters, the highest turnout rate since 1968… Minnesota, with a competitive Senate race that still hasn’t been decided, had the highest turnout rate, even...
