Snogged: An Insatiable State of Mind

cee_m and rocker_vamp made some requests after I posted the last batch so here are their choices:

( Picture Meme - Part 2 )

I got some pictures taken tonight for the photo meme so I'm going to post them. If people still want to request something, that's okay with me.

I got to go to the Ren Faire this weekend. Sadly, Nick was unable to tag along but good times were still had. I did end up leaving earlier than planned today though because it was so hot and humid and my body was just giving up on me (no matter how much water I drank or how many pickles I ate. Speaking of pickles...did you know that they're higher in carbs and electrolytes than any sports drink on the market? Thus making them good eats on a hot, sunny day.)

ETA: I'll catch up with the Harry Potter meme tomorrow. I'm really not in the mood tonight.

Nick and I had an incredibly wonderfully anniversary weekend and I was stoked that the weather held out enough where we didn't have any trouble driving places.

On Friday, I drove up there after work at my internship site, and we chilled and talked for about an hour while waiting for our friend, Kit, to show up. He came, we went and got dinner (Chicken Fried Steak FTW!), and then went back to Nick's apartment to watch classic episodes of Invader Zim.

On Saturday, Nick and I woke up and went over to Krista's Kitchen, which is a coffee shop/bakery in town. I had the most delicious almond scone that I've ever had in my life and it paired really wonderfully with my hazelnut latte. After that we snuggled for a bit until it was time for us to catch the matinee showing of 2012. It's definitely a good movie if you like to watch things blow up. Following the movie we drove up to the Wisconsin Dells to grab dinner at Ginza of Tokyo. I had the sushi dinner and Nick had the breaded oysters. Even though we ate in the restaurant style dining portion of the restaurant, I was still able to see what one of the Hibachi chefs was doing so that made for a bit of fun on my end :)

Today, we headed downtown to see Canadian Pacific Holiday Train and we had a total blast :) There was a rapping Santa Claus that made me smile with kid-like glee and a great band with loads of holiday spirit. I took pictures, of course, and a few of those are under the cut. We also watched Dollhouse and let me just say, that Summer Glau was brilliantly cast for her role. And I love Victor more and more each time I see him on the show.

Now that I'm back in my apartment, I get to write a 2-page paper on how I thought my first semester at Internship went. It shouldn't be hard of course, but I may have a tough time deciding what to keep in and what to keep out.

I finally got my camera cord back from my folks so I have some pictures to share from the last weekend of Bristol for any and all who are interested.

( Where has the time gone? It seems to have gone so fast )

"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.

If you can hear this whispering you are dying.

I never said I was frightened of dying."
-Richard Wright, Great Gig in the Sky

Richard Wright passed away at age 65 from cancer. He was best known for his work with the band Pink Floyd.

May he rest in peace.

On Saturday, I got to spend some time at the Port Washington Pirate Festival and I got to spend some quality time with some awesome people

And you all get to benefit from the pictures

All right, so I did indeed get conned into joining Flickr but it has proven to be a wonderful experience.

And so I present Days 1-7. Just a heads up, I haven't completely mastered photo editing and composition yet so be patient with me. And they are all safe for work.


Day 1


( Safe for Work Approved )

I've got a couple of friends doing this and they've inspired me to do it as well. Only difference is mine will be here on LJ only as I don't feel the need to open a Flickr account.

So here's Day One: Life Outside the Computer Screen
