Photo Op

For whatever reason, my backyard was often the hotspot for homecoming and prom pictures in my neighborhood.  We would plaster smiles on our faces and line up while our parents snapped pictures from every angle.  I got my picture taken with the same "neighborhood kids" every year.

I loved watching my dad take the pictures with his little disposable camera.  He always pulled each girl to the side and forced them to get a picture alone. 

"You two are probably going to break up soon and then you're going to be mad that you have 1,000 pictures with this joker."

Quilting

Sometimes I'd like to write a blog entry, but I don't have a topic.  This is a Kathleen-requested entry. 

My mom attended a quilting extravaganza last weekend.  It featured Kaye Woods' quilting expertise and Kathleen dressed in camo and deer antlers.  My mom glanced away from the stage for a minute, only to look up and see Seamstress Marianne on stage.  Showing Kaye what's up.

Sounds fun.  Aside from the quilting part.

Kathleen, you're the shit, sister.

Facebook!

I LOVE all the Quinlans on Facebook right now.  I am not sure how this infestation happened...

Ice Cream

Last summer Michael was enjoying some ice cream at the canoe livery.  He offered my dad a bowl, but my dad declined.  

"You don't like ice cream?"

My dad took some ice cream and rubbed it on Michael's arm.

"How's that taste?" He asked.

Apathetic Alice

Okayy...I might not hate school.  But I am entirely devoid of any enthusiasm for it.  I have to swallow my laughs when a prof. dares assign me homework.  Read chapter 8?  Really? Hahahahhahaa.  Yeah, right.

Laughing at a prof. is better than kicking the shit out of him (or seriously considering kicking the shit out of him).  Those days happen too.  I hope blogging that doesn't count as a "threat."  For all I know, my blog is incredibly popular in the e-world.  The administration could be reading this.

I've spent the first hour of my graphic design class listening to my iPod and printing off pictures of my dad (free color printing!).  And now blogging.  I suck.  But I don't care.  :)

Current Track: Bob Dylan, Trying to Get to Heaven.  Bob Dylan does not have a great voice.  But, he makes some great music.

CMU Love

I love school but, really, I hate it.  Seriously.  I am so sick of it.

This is my fourth year at CMU.  I have nothing more to learn (I know that is not true.  I'm just being an a-hole).

Give me a job, dammit!

Obaaammmmaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Potentially Good Day...

Today could be a good day...

1. Sarah Palin was prank-called by "Nicolas Sarkozy."  C'mon, Sarah.  Listen to the audio.

2. Record high temperatures today.  Amazing.  I'm in jeans and a t-shirt, and I'm still warm enough to have sweaty pits!

3. Apparently my sister and A. Pat had similar dreams the other night.  My dad was healthy, happy and smiling.  I haven't had such a positive dream  yet.  Maybe tonight?

Halloween

Okay...the Tina Turner idea failed.  But I think I made up for it nicely, and I only had to purchase a beret and face paint.  Last year I was a wizard (my dad was pleased)....I'm not sure which I like better...

Somehow I ended up with several hundred dollars of fake cash in my cleavage last night.  This was not part of my costume.  I must have been a really good mime.
