bouncing back to SF on wensday
Its 326 in the morning. its below freezing outside and the snow continues to fall pressing down upon its self. Im about to leave Sweden and it starts snowing. it feels like a good ending. like the few blank pages at the end of a novel, a paper-manifistation of an after thought come to life. Its weird to say good bye to people. I have stripped my room of almost all decorations and the white walled mental institute look reapears. so you have to buy your own grocery bags here in Sweden, so I bought 8 today so that I could use them to pack things. the registar lady didn't think much on it but a guy gave me this puzzled look. thinking about it I should have brought another bag to put the otherbags into. they have the most terrifing snow plow machine here it looks like some combination of Smog from ferngully, and one of those fish that lives very deep but big teeth, big eyes, and glowing lights. well maybe not exactly but that will be how I choose to remeber it. Since the sun sets around 320 pm here you get used to the dark but now that it is snowing it is a differnt type of dark. the light sort of bounces from the lamp to the snow, back to the coulds, gets caught and chewed into parts which continue on bouncing back and forth and so on and so on. in the end everything sort of glows I feel that should be a metiphore for something |

Jag tycker mycket om smör!!!
my lunch right now is Macaronie and Butter!! and Im eating it with a huge spoon out of a pot so I can maximize the wolfing potential of this lunch break. though as much as I love butter and pasta the reason Im having my delectable "mac och smör" is because I have a whole cuboard ful of random foody things that I wouldn't even dream of taking home (which includes oats, food coloring, molasis, vinager ...), so I have to try to finish as much of it as posible. so I finished my exams here in sweden and I will be flying home in 5 days on tuesday morning at 5:45 i woke up to get ready and bike to the main cathedral to watch a Santa Lucia concert it was cool there were more than 100 children all dressed up singing in Swedish with good old Lucy standing in frount with burning candles on her head- it was really cool. well until later (if you were dying to know I have a pomigranite for dessert) |

so Im sitting in my Chem lab and it is 6:11 at night and my little mini oven is working its way to 900 degrees so I can Melt some NaCl. In other words im utterly board. so My classroom is located on corridor C or otherwise named 'The Random Walk' I like it and every time I head off to class I try to think of a new way to walk down 'The random walk'. Well the real reason it is called the random walk is because they have all these stuffed animals that they have put on ledges probably 15 feet up on the wall, its pretty bizzarre and so I like it. My favorite animal is a red squiril... though I haven't given him a name yet. I recently got back from a russia trip the highlights include: -having a striper club in our first hotel (and coming back one night with body glitter all over me) -(not I) but some people on the trip saw a dead person in the street -buying a head of lenin made out of chocolate -visiting a indoor shooting gallery at a club -geting lost in the 2nd largest museum of the world. - buying 4 pairs of hand knitted socks!! a lot more than that happened but those are the highlights end |

deep fried in Sweden
So last night my corridor (place where I live) had a deep frying party. We had a little portible deep fryer and we pretty much fried every thing that we had or could think of - Mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, cheese, kiwi, bannanas, onions, garlic, apples, grapes cookies... Basically we just filled the the fry basket and lowered it and the result was this fried conjeiled mass of wonder! The best part was that the smell of oil just satureated everything. and afterwards I followed a few of my friends and we made a song that evolved something like this- Deep frying in sweden today I got deep fryed in sweden to day How much oil- I can not say Drinking beer and wasting away Drinking king deep frying today Deep frying our sorrows away deep frying our sins away the devils stunned but jesus says Deep fry your sins away I deep fried tomatoes and pies The devil boils but Jesus fries Deep frying in swedeh today Deep frying our sins away It was incredible |

There was a great news blurb on the radio today. It said that electric harvesting wind turbines were harmful to some species of indangered birds, because the birds either run into them or get chopped up in them. What I liked was the image of the two types of envormentalists against each other.... one for the birds another for the bio-safe(minus birds) energy. |

The chocolate was killer!! basically to make it you heat up a cup of milk and then throw a bar of chocolate in it, mix it up, and BAM!! kick ass hot chocolate!! But the really cool thing was my mom has this weird cooking thingy which you are suposed to use to make hot chocolate with and it has a chant that goes along with it.... my title... To allow you to picture what this weird thing looks like I will give you a naritive that Its creater could have had.... Person A: I'm bored Creator: I know what to do lets make a hot chocolate stirer thingy Person A: A spoon? Creator: Yes, but a spoon unlike any other spoon which does not look like a spoon at all!! *Magical eye gleam* Person A: oh Creator: It will have a handle Peson A: and... Creator: and rings Person A: ok Creator: and this weird thing on the bottom Person A: really Creator: which is hollow Person A: how is that possibl...

Yesterday Salem OR had a down poor, I felt like I was "Necter in a Sive" or living in a place that would get monsoons it was awesome! with in a few twirls in the rain i was drenched (except for my but, water proof I guess) and then we noticed that a dain spout had blocked up and was over flowing and basicaly was filling up this ditch infrount of a basment window! OUR BASEMENT FLOODED it was sureal for water was pouring from the windows and a vent and there was a good amount of water within the room. I turned in my portfollio for my art class and my teacher was really pleased with it! (he might have just wanted to get rid of me because I was the last student to talk to but still it made me happy) our last model was a male, and we did gesture drawings (quick 30 second dynamic poses) that makes me happy too because he is all balencing on one foot looking like he is a bust baloon and he is totaly naked. ummmmm I had this very nice short yet weird goodbye with the guy named Brese from my Performance of prose\Poetry class me: Incedible your one act I enjoyed it him:so are you graduating me: no just a sophmore ... two more silence what are you going? school?

I was sitting in my schools libary reading Live journal (which I rarely do) sipping ChI tea (how ever you spell it) and I figured i should write an entry (which I almost never do!) Im avoiding working on my paper where I am connecting the the objectification of the female characters (into symbols), in a book, to the writing's message on the fate of the future of comunism. It really is a blast especially since I am a science major and I havn't had to write anything harder than observations for a semester = ) ummmmm. its funny within the last month of school I have met 6 really cool people but it is sad because i wont have time to really get to know them especially if im going to Sweden next fall (note Im studing abroad in sweden next fall, Im the only one from willamette going!! Adventure!!) I was eating brunch in my cafiteria and i was looking out the window this morning ans since it is spring (ie animals are procreating) there was this momy duck and all her ducklings waddeling across the grass in frount of the window, which is cute and all. But was cool was all of a sudden this hawk swoops down and snaches one of the ducklings and flys off with it!!! the mother duck and the other ducks didn't even notice! God bless the food chain I should go back to work! evning to all and to all a good night your friend David |

!god I love bad street art and the people who paint it!
im writing this in a internet cafe so of course its olny filled with tourists and creepy men but sitting next to me is a french couple god thier language is sexy feww!! I just recently finished my school down here. all went well but the final day of review was hell every one in my class is brilliant but there light doesnt shine on remebering things we litterly went over every thing. umm gosh every one in my trip is living tommorow at 4 in the morning so im a little sad to say goodbye but im soo i think that im getting excited to be home because every one is going home. Im giving a pre-warning UC Santa Cruz people im coming down and I will spend time with you if i have to just shadow you silently the whole time i will. um other interseting thing that have happened are I was bitten by a parrot it left a mark. I´m Proud. I think it was just trying to stabelize itself and it got a hold of my neck. I took a hike in a rain forest and our guid dog attacked and killed an ant eater it was sad. on the way back from that trip we were caught in a awesome down poor i was totally drenched it was soo cool. did you know that a four- five inch butterfly can fly in a rain forest down poor ( I didn´t I just figured the rain would wak it down) a group of five or so people tryed to rob me when i was walking home if you want to know what happened you have to talk to me because I dont have the patience or skill to write it all out (Noting was stollen though) and every day I see another deeped form of racism here in equador. Very racist charictures are everywhere. the night before last some drunk guy said that seeing a beautiful girl with a black man was like having a knife through the heart well hope all is well and i cant wait until i can spend uttils of time with all of you except you randome cool girl form east cost that is on my buddy list I unfortunatly will be unable to fly to the east coast thins summer until latter your friend who writes to much David |

ecuador
I keep trying to spell Ecuador like this (Equador) is that how you spell the line? of that would make allittle more sense i never though about it. (its also weird the live journal paige is in spanish. I guess i should have expected it haha) anyways im in ecuador and i guess since i cant see all of you funkadelic cats you will have to content yourselves with my horrible storytelling. last week my group went to the Bassilica its a really bing church so you take an elivator up 10 stories and then you walk across this rickedly wooden bridge above the ceeling of the cathedral (you see the cenment and the top of the arches it really is cool.) then you climb 5 latters and you end up in one of the towers with this great view ( because it high up and scary..) so its pretty freaky climbing up laders on the out side of a huge church but that was nothing compared to the second tower were after taking 20 ladders and a few sets of stairs, after passing the clock machinery and the bells you reach this floor of metal grading at the top of the highest tower. so the floor is scary because it seems unsafe but if you crouch down and climb throuhg a little hole ( as i did) you reach the out side and your like sitting on the very edge of the church like a gargole hundreds of feet in the air it rocked!!! I have a lot of stories but i cant spell and no one reads long entries. anyway alls well the group is suprisingly very cool even though there solo idea for hanging out is smoking a huka and drinking one dollar beers (dont be fooled for the size of the beer you get for one dollar no one would buy a keg) of course I dont do either of those things and its all fine until they start congragulating me for not drinking like it is something im really only doing to look impressive no matter. last weekend i went to an animal market and in the food section they had three or four severed (is that how you spell it?) cow´s heads and one had its tongue hanging out but of course the head was mageled because they had removed other meat products from inside the head. they also had hearts that had to be nearly the size of my head. on that note hope alls well david Current Mood:  bored |

my bed sheets sucked my red pen dry!
Well were to start. for in telling a story there is allways and end... right? so here is my end. im sitting here at 2:59 in the morining wrting on livejournal. why you ask? because im to lazy to call all of you and keeping cool people in your life takes illution. Anyway befor that my friend and i walked home from a wonderful evning with two sextabulious people, if sex is used as a measurment of coolness and im telling you the level that sextabulious falls into is sooo good that even the Pope would be "Damb girl/(guy) you are a Saint of sweet sweet loving" so any ways thwy were so hot (not physically so much) but you just get this urge to have mindsex ohh they were stoick. Other news if you are following the love boat episode named David Melis, i recently broke up with Elena, my ex, but it wasn't bad i think that in thoses last moments of our relationship i shared more than i have ever had with any single other person. and i do love her and i belive she loves me but it is different loves so it was our two loves just shoot of into space never able t obe reflected back. and then like out of a chep movie i spent the night in her bed nothing sexual but very personal any way that is the end. ohh gillian do you know that on your campus there is a treehouse were 4 ex students are livin in yeah and one of the guys is known only as goat. just thought it was a small world since Justin one of the hot people previously mentioned knows him and camped out with him over spring break. wow this is going long. i had my adventure and i ended up getting lost and walking so long that my insoles in my shoes melted because they couldn't handel the pressure. is it all right to be partialy attracted to someone who is vain is it bad just to want sex or just want to make up a situation in you head with some one who you can partialy cant stand. anyway one cares this much about me and if you do im touched but still very tired so i must sleep on this couch for i think my roomie is teaching American Love (empahsis on midwest techniques) 101 to a fellow japanese student good night |

the degrees of freedome within
(its an actual equation or some thing) last week a HUGE antie jane ass sized water main broke and was spilling millions of gallons of bubbling H20 into our campus it was really cool because it flowed into a river infrount of my dorm. it was very majestic. I had an adventure to night i started walking at dusk and got totaly and completly lost but eventually found my way to a elegant cake shop. and i ended up buying a snikerdoodle the size of North Dakota and a maccaroon. so i figured if anyone tried to mug me my responce should be "maccaroon or snikerdoodle" evie i think i can head up the weekend of the first i would prbable only spend saturday night but it would be BOSS to vist ya. but if it is too much of a hassel it is no problem David |
