Blog Entries For January 2005

SNOW!!!!!

I made a snow angel in front of the dining hall. A few people walked by and shook their heads. Jeff took pictures.

Plows in the quad.

End of December and January Pics, finally:
Visited my grandfather in Lancaster before Christmas, check out the Amish-ness (picture by my mother):

My p-way friends are super-cool, and so we decided that for New Years, we needed to do something. So we drove to Pittsburgh. Yep. On the way back, we found Maryland... took about 13 hours of driving to get home cause we got lost a few dozen times and hit the wrong state. Put over 1,000 miles on my car over break though, so it was cool. One of these pictures is from Dassia, who called her album "We are always on the road", the best way anyone has ever described us.

Loading my car at night, for the 'escape':

Photos from the Rusted Root concert on new years:

John with the a DVD called "The Gospel of John":

Got back to Philly, and in three days the room already looks like this (pictures from Jeff):

Between Jeff and me, we filled this rack with soda twice over:

Jeff found this in the coffee maker when he got back:

We found Pat's, didn't even get too lost. There is nothing like a $6 cheesesteak at a place that will kick you out of line if you take more than 10 seconds ordering or don't order in the right format (pictures from Jeff):

Walking back, City Hall in the dark looked kinda scary. There's nothing like architecture in the city:

Jeff got a better picture of the cult church:

Pre-Wintereenmas LAN... nuked everyone till me and Anferney capitulated to France (pictures from Jeff):

I wouldn't stop debating on religion with Josiah, on the second 8AM of the weekend uni-day that was Saturday/Sunday, so everyone else eventually beat the crap out of me. I think Josiah took these, found them on my phone. Somewhere in this, I think I may have dented the wall with Matt's head, but we will never speak of that again.

Snyder and Amanda came over to help make sure that the bitches next door got pissed about the 'noise' again:

Timo's gets +1 Sitting In A Chair Skill (the name of this picture is timomeetsfloor.jpg):

In English, the prof was making fun of the Christians who believe that the world is 6,000 years old. Someone brought up the important point to them that there were the Dinosaurs, who weren't in the Bible, and predated humans, and they had to do something. So they said that the Dinosaur bones were put in the earth by Satan to challenge our faith. FYI, Kim (who doesn't exist) was part of the group the believes this. Anyway, I look over, and Jeff is drawing this in his notebook, and I am turning red trying to not die laughing in the middle of class:

Not to worry, I will not let there be a month without a randomly asleep somewhere picture. Here's me asleep against a wall (by Jeff again):

I decided to post some older photos, starting with road-tripping this summer to Niagra Falls (stole these from Dassia's site, not sure who took all of them though :
We camped in Watkin's Glen, and 'showered' by jumping off of one of these waterfalls:

I fell into the gorge on the superslippery stuff (by the Caution and Stay Out signs) and landed on the phone, so I needed to test it. Metro'd those shorts on the first day, so I just had my jeans after that.

Then it was off to Niagra Falls. It's a shame I don't have a picture of the rearcock yet.

Just after this picture, I tied all our ponchos together and we walked around that way. In the end, we all ran as fast as we could in opposite directions till they came apart again.

Dad's diner, just outside the hippie hostel (H.I. Niagra), where we ate every morning and talked to this nice old Canadian diner waitress.

There was sidewalk, then a curb, then a space, then a piece of sidewalk jutting into the street. No one knew why. Damned Canadians.
