A stroll down random lane

1. I love full house, i still have a crush on Unle Jesse.

2. I wish careers weren't the main center of life, if we didn't have to work i feel like we could live more naturally, be with who we wanted to be with, live wherever we wanted to and whenever we wanted to.

3. Sometimes when i'm in a bad mood, i just go around the house, turn on all the lights and then i feel better, i guess the light makes me happy.

4. I was in karate for almost a year, when i was eight,then one day a boy was teasing me and i punched him in the stomach, then i learned, "that's not self defense".

5. Ok i'm wasting all my random facts on karate, but this is kind of funny, after a couple weeks (before number 4) i decided to try out my new moves on my great uncle, (geez that sounds bad now that i write it) but anyway i ended up giving him some rendition of a round house kick to the face and since then i've really tried to stay away from karate....i don't think it's my thing.

6. I absolutely hate being lonely, i would rather live in a cardboard box with all my friends around, than live in a huge lonely mansion and have all the money in the world.

7. I love riding my bike in the city, it's a crazy rush, especially when you turn left.

8. I want to be a famous makeup atrist, but behind the scenes, i don't want anyone to know what i look like.

It's like i'm on an episode of Mr.Rogers gone wrong

Oh in case you were all on the edge of your seat wondering about more of our neighbors, we finally saw another one. But probably would have been happier if we didn't. He lives on the first floor, right next to the stairs we have to go down to exit the apartment. Anyway the other day he was sitting on those stairs playing with his kitty yes kitty and i say kitty because that's how he talks because he uhhhm well likes boys. But we could see inside and it was filled with material drapings and was very dim lit just about the scariest place i've ever seen i hope he doesn't grab Andrew coming down the stairs one of these days ahh.
But i decided to give all the neighbors we've seen so far names so here they are:
neighbor1:First floor, smokey old man(described in last blog)-POCHAHONTAS
neighbor2:First floor,creepy kitty guy-FOR THE LOVE OF TAPESTRY
neighbor3:second floor, tattoed guy, this is because he sold us the air conditioner and he has a little gangster flare-COOL J

Wusss up beautiful

Right now i'm sitting in a coffee shop excactly one block away from my new apartment.Oh and on the way here i had my first half scary experience i was just crossing the street and a snoop dogg looking man gave me a head nod and a "Wus up beautiful". I was actually excited to have the experience, when i told Andrew, he was like are you okay? hhah.The coffee shop is a really cool place aside the fact that the barista is a little creepy..not freaks you out creepy, i'm fine sitting in here by myself, but the creepy where he seems like he always takes deep breaths like he's going to talk but never says anything. Oh and i think it's the above 65 hang out andrew and i came here saturday night and about 8 elderly couples were sitting around watching concerts on tv. But they do make a mean iced latte. Things have been pretty chill we went grocery shopping twice already so we should be set for like 5 years. But it did suck because we went to target first then wal-mart and spent way too much at target. Yesterday it stormed like crazy, car alarms were going off! We definetely live in the part of city that's in movies..our street is the main street to the Hennepin Hospital so there's ambulances all the time. But i like it the noise doesn't bother me. The apartments are super cool but mine of course takes the cake so far...andrew thinks so too. We haven't seen much of our neighbors except the nice tattooed mexican man we bought a air conditioner off of, and the best neighbor yet is the old man on the first floor he smokes like a chimney, his clothes and windows are yellow stained and he wears a bandana around his head all rolled up like pochahontas(definitely spelled that wrong) style but he is a white man. ( I'm startng to sound racist but i'm just trying to be descriptive so you can imagine a little better), and when he opens his door it smells like death. Thats all of the neighbors we've seen, and today is going to be the first time we take a long walk downtown since we've been here. Oh the first day was craziness when we first arrived at the apartment i had to be to orientation in an hour, so my dad and i (mostly my dad) put up my shower curtain and i jumped in and then my mom drove me down to Aveda which is only seven minutes away. Orientation was BORINGGGG I first walked in and then made my way up to the fourth floor, the building is amazing it must have been like an old ballroom because the staircase is fantastic it has gold banisters and all marble flooring but then it has a modern twist so it's amazing. Once i got to the 4th there were probably 60 girls and maybe 5 guys we all got signed in then we made our way to the "Great Room" and it was great it looked like an old theater i'm exccited to see what we'll use it for. Then the Admissions rep began to talk and they showed us a video of the history of Aveda. Which was very cool i actually really liked it. Then came the crappy part we had to pick a partner, learn three things about them, then introduce them to the whole class. It wasn't so bad seeing as my partner was pretty cool i learned she was from South Dakota, has 2 cats, and has two different colored eyebrows....naturally. Then the speaker talked some more and then we all had to sit around for about an hour or so as we each handed in our checks. Then played a final lame game and were sent on our way. I'm excited to start it should be super fun. Let's see what else oh the showers kind of stink i'm way to tall for it my head sticks above the shower curtain and what else? we live on 3 blocks from the twins stadium! and there are skyscrapers only 2 blocks away. I'm excited to get a little rough on my edges and to tell lots of stories but i'm going to be homesick for a while....i miss my friendsss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you guys!
I'm officially a city girl woo hoo!
