Kickstarter - Alexz Johnson Tour 2012 →
Alexz Johnson is awesome and her music continues to amaze me! Because of this, I just backed her on her 2012 tour! [and was rewarded with a special edition tshirt and digital cd download, woot!]
If you have a moment listen and, if you like it, help make her tour a possibility!
[If you don’t like it, don’t have money, or don’t care about Alexz Johnson, don’t feel...

Tornado sirens = no sleep.
So, I just composed a large post on this topic that somehow got deleted. I will summarize in bullet points.
-Tornado sirens are going off.
-Thunderstorms are loud and this old house sounds like it’s going to fall down.
-The two other California girls I live with, and myself, have like no knowledge on tornados and tornado safety.
-We went to the first floor in the hall for a bit, decided...

I could live off of miso soup.
I found this great just-add-water vegan miso soup at the store and, combined with some fresh tofu, am having a fabulous lunch! In other news, I’m also busy cleaning and getting odds and ends together :D
Blog under construction. Again.
Because I’m trying to figure out wordpress, build a website, and move my blog. And then I got distracted by my Tumblr theme lol.
“What’s the capital of Mexico? I already tried Texas…”

Wordpress.
Spent the last 3 hours teaching myself how to build a website. Am slightly confused. Am thinking it might be better to continue this tomorrow after school.
I’m now an hour and a half past my bedtime but it was totally worth it to get some organization done, school work done, creative-work-stuff done, and talk to my friend Dorothyla (whom I love and miss dearly). Anywho, I’m off to...
“This is a great late night activity…go to the game, go home, go to bed,...”
– Chay (one of the Lasallian Volunteers I live with, in reference to watching a CBU basketball game)
tired.
REALLY loud airplanes + 2 hours less of sleep + long day + community dinner + (much needed, hilarious, and happy) grocery shopping = one very tired LM.
I was going to be super productive tonight and type up some of my Christian Service Internship journals and work on my independent study but I might head to bed before the airplanes start (last night they were WAY louder than usual and I was 110%...
Good Day with Good Friends.
Exactly what I’ve needed.
Went to the Memphis Zoo with Mary Kate Garner and had a fabulous time [the exhibits are beautifully set up for photo-taking!] and they had one of my favourite animals [giant pandas!!!] and it was an all-around beautiful day.
Followed the zoo up with some football watching at MK’s house with her husband Stokes [interesting game…hoping SF49ers win the...

DO YOU HAVE ESPN2 ON????
SMC Gaels vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs @SMC (McKeon Pavillion)
We NEED TO WIN (and most of the time the commentators need to shut the heck up).
Best competition on the West Coast. Both teams are undefeated in conference games this season. SMC is super awesome and way cooler than Gonzaga.
Let live blogging start:
BYU needs to go home and commentators need to shut up about it.
My ESPN2 feed is 30...
It's snowing.
It’s not going to stick but it’s almost cold enough…35 degrees with some wind-chilly-ness.
Oh AND...
…I woke up to really great news regarding something I’m applying for. Not sharing here though, so ask if you want to know. Thanks!
Wishing and hoping and praying...
…that I do NOT get lice.
Some of the kids at the school have them (and are still at school due to a bunch of complicated reasons I will save you the chore of reading). Young children are very clingy, hug-y, and have very minimal concept of personal space. I am desperately trying not to get lice.
Big purchase of the day? Hairspray.
I hear lice don’t like it. I scrubbed my hair...

Me (aka Ms. Stevens): How old do you think I am?
Kid 1: 28!

Kid 3: 34!
Kid 4: What kind of guess is 34?!?!
Me: Guess number two is spot on...glad you think I'm older though!
Happy Castle Monday!
Watching it with one of the Lasallian Volunteers, Chay!
Currently reviewing the chicken dance...
Who doesn’t love 2nd grade?
