So here I am back at Denison. Vacation was delightful. We went to Atlantic Beach, NC for a few days. It was so great just to see the ocean again.
Then we went to Fayettville to visit the grandfolks, and then to Deleware for the Yoder clan. It was nice, and my cousins are all incrediably cute. Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
I've a ton more pics of my cousins and other wacky family members, but I won't bore you with them. If you're really interested, I may upload some into my photobucket when I get the time.
On the way home we stoped in Baltimore to see the American Visionary Art Museaum. It was so amazing. It's filled with art by self-trained artists, most of whom were certifiably insane. But the art work is so awsome. A lot of it is distubing, but a lot of it is also wacky. For example, a giant egg:
When we got back I was only in BG for a couple days. But I did get to see a lot of people, and spend a decent amount of time with the ones I love most. Also, I was present when Tracy got her nips pierced (sorry no pics!) and when Mork got his nose pierced, so that was big fun.
I came back to campus Sunday. I'm starting to get settled into things. There's still a lot of that begining of the year stress, soon to be replaced with that middle of the year stress, so what's new? Elia and I went to a fun party last night, and we both got pretty drunk playin kings. Although it was fun, I don't think I'll make it a usual habit to party when I've got a 9:30 the next morning. Ok, off to be studious. I swear.

Oh my, what a weekend! Friday, Matt and Rob came down to visit for the Irish fest. However, there had been thunderstorm warnings all night so we stayed in instead. It was super fun though, we stayed up late talking and watching anime.
Saturday the boys went to visit their grandparents in Dayton while I went to Amber and Eric's wedding. They had a very lovely ceremony. It's still super weird for me to think that people just a year or so older than me are getting married! But I think they will be happy, so that's good.
After the wedding I went to Dublin (ohio) and met up with Rob and Matt. We saw Seven Nations play. I liked them quite a bit. It was so funny though: Towards the end of the show, this little, grey haired Irish man wandered onto stage. I don't know how he got past security, but he was really drunk and playing with a paddle ball! He just stood up on stage and played paddle ball for like 3 songs while the band played!! I hope I'm that crazy and having fun when I'm old.
After the show we wandered around the fest for a while. Got some good food, a shot glass for jenna, and a fairy tapestry for myself. Then we went back to Denison, and after a little drinking and smoking we decided to go on an incerdiable journey around campus. I was quite the messed up, and though the journey was incerdiable, there were a few casualties including: My brand new martini glass, my hello kitty intertube, and Matt's skateboard (not my fault!). It was quite an evening.
Then Sunday we went back to the Irish Fest. This time, for Flogging Molly!! The place was so packed, it was crazy! The entire front half of the tent was basically a mosh pit, but security did a pretty good job of keeping things from getting too rough. I was in the pits for most of the show. About halfway through I was feeling dehydrated, so I found my way to a water station, sat down for about one song, and went right back in. By the end of the show I was completly soaked, mostly with sweat (some mine and lots of it other people's). i mannaged to get out without any real injuries (besides really sore feet), so I'd say it was a great show! When it was all over, I met back up with Matt and Rob and we headed back to Denison. We spent the evening just chillin and watching tv.
This was like my last on campus summer blast. It was a great way to end my time at Denison, especially because the way I started it was with the Warped Tour. I really had lots of fun with Rob and Matt. I like it when my friends from home come visit me, it's nice to get a little of the best of both worlds (or homes if you will).
This week I've got a TON of work to do, on top of trying to move into summer housing (at some point...damn you res life!!!). I'm basically feelin the stress of finals week. But it will all get done, I'm sure of that. And when it does, I'm out of here! I'm going on vacation with Mom and Dad to NC and Deleware for about two weeks. I should be back around the 22 or something, so I will get to see all you BG peeps again before the end of summer. I'm not sure if I'll be posting a lot this week, so if not I'll be incommunicado for a while but I'll see you all again in just a few weeks! Lots of love to you all!

Ok, I usually don't post those stupid online surveys, but I think this one is very accurate.
| How You Live Your Life |
 You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is. You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think. You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable. |

Hey guys, just a quick post. I've been working a lot on my project, and I took some pics of the scar on my forehead. A lot of them turned out really great. I wish I could use them all, but I've gotta pick just a few. Unfortunantly I don't think this one is gonna make it into the finished project, so I thought I'd share it with you. I love how it turned out.
Ok, back to work!
