Modoc Rocks!
In class, I had my Earth Science students do a worksheet on a brochure called "Modoc Rocks!" Basically it was about all the geological hot spots in Modoc county, and since I will be here a little bit long and the weather was seemingly nice, I thought I would take a couple friends on the tour. Here is what happened. (Baby Kangaroo and Koala, both thought we would get stuck. Well, guess what, girls don't get stuck, because we aren't stupid!)
We stopped at a cemetery in Davis Creek, and I thought this tombstone was super cool with these flowers. That stop didn't last very long as it was balls cold out.
On the way to our first and second stop, we drove a long a dirt road, which turned to a muddy road, which then turned into a few feet of snow. Never having got to our first two spots (spots 2 and 3 because we actually skipped going to spot 1 - it was a resource office or something), we got out of the Jeep for a little nature time anyway. The Warner Mountains have a lot to offer.
Ash taking a picture of me taking her picture!
The view coming down the mountain was pretty sick as well.
On the way to spot 4 we saw a derailed train, that has been there for several years, but apparently it has been a long time since I have been on that highway and I thought it was the coolest thing since railed trains.
Spot 4 was Chimney rock, this picture is of the surrounding rocks.
At one time a cabin was built in to this rock, and it has all the names of the people who were traveling through at the time it was made.
Ash likes to climb.
This is a pretty sick pic, I think at least.
Sorry for the finger....but you get the point.
This was a really beautiful day!
I can't believe I was the only one without holes in my jeans. THAT never happens! I just noticed that everyone has the big hole on the left knee...that is totally the same in all my holey jeans! Weird.
I also forgot to wear my boots. I suck at this trip.
We found a bridge.
I just find this hilarious! Hahahaha, good one.
Then what happened to us, was a series of unfortunate events, like we ran into more snow and weren't able to get to like 7/10 places on the tour. Although, we didn't get to see the sites on the tour, we still saw a lot of cool things. Also, we made it out without injury and WE DIDN'T GET STUCK! Yay, us. But I guess it was a nice car ride, good thing my mom had tissue in the Jeep, because we had to pee in the woods several times. At least I got an ice cream!
When we got home Ash got a tattoo!!!!
I feel like if we go on this tour again when there is no snow and the roads are accessible, I will write more about how each spot was formed and crap like that so I feel like a real teacher. For being a teacher, I mostly just feel like I am the one that is learning. Perhaps if you view yourself as student of life, you will always have something to gain, and the more you experience the more you can teach.

March 2nd
Today is the Vets' birthday. Happy birthday. Cheers, I wish I could be there and also can't wait to see you guys!!!
JP: my friends are always saying, "I want to meet this man, you always talk about this John Pham guy."
To which I reply, sadly, "Man? That sounds so weird, I mean everyone I know are boys and girls. To be a man you have to be (clenches fist toward chin and shows teeth), we aren't ladies, I mean we still have snacks, naps, and I make them all play with toys!"
Wah, I'm just a baby. The big Two-Five makes me feel like maybe it is time to grow up, but honestly I can't foresee that happening. I mean I just love toys way too much!
P.s. I have been called lady like ten times in the last two weeks by freakin' 80 year olds, and if I get called lady one more time I think I will snap. Seriously?! You are like a million years old and I am 24 why are you calling me lady? You crazy old psycho.

Farmville via Facebook
Well, I have fallen into a pit of darkness. I woke up at seven this morning to harvest pumpkins. What am I doing on this thing? and why are those bunnies so damn cute? Well, if you can't not do it, do it the best you can. For those of you that want to play farmville, won't you be my neighbor?

When I Sleep...
So there are a lot of reasons why I like to drink. Two or the most recent ones came to me last night while I was sober.
01: I cannot fall asleep. I just ly in bed for like an hour, which is really annoying and makes me tired in the morning.
02: I don't sleep soundly. I wake up a lot, which I guess I do that anyway, but waking up drunk because you have to pee is somehow less irritating than waking up for no reason sober.
and
03: When I sleep soberly, I have really bad dreams. Then I ly awake scared of whatever it was I was dreaming about.
For instance, last night I had just falling asleep and I started having a bad dream. I was trying to wake up because I didn't want to dream about it. My body was twitching so much, it scared Kitten and when he moved to get off the bed is when I woke up. I blame last nights dream on the discussion of scary movies and dolls, and how I hate them, and playing with the dogs, and actually maybe also watching some previews for some upcoming movies; sober minds are mean minds.
I remember last week, I didn't drink because I didn't feel so hot, for reasons I cannot disclose, and I woke up in the middle of the night crying. Like actual tears were coming out of my eyes. I cannot remember why anymore, but wtf?
Perhaps I should leave one of the four composition books by my bed at night and write down the dreams that I have and send them off for analyzing. My brain has issues.

A Snowballs Chance in Hell
"Lady"
I would just like to address the last few months.
One time when I was in Redding with Jenna and were both in the restroom, I made it out faster than her of course, so I was washing my hands, when a little boy walked out of one stall and I could hear his mother tell him to wash his hands as she still was using the restroom. So, as I am washing my hands and I notice that he cannot reach the soap, so I ask him if he needs help and he says "yes." So I hold him up to the sink to get some soap and finish washing his hands. No big deal right. Then the mother walks out of the stall asking him if he washed his hands, as Jenna asks me if I helped him, I'm telling her yes as he tells his mother, "yeah, that lady helped me." So then I was on a riot, because I am not a lady, for heavens sake I'm only 24 years old. Do I look old to 6-ish year olds? Anyway, I went on with my day forgetting about the incident until this happened....
SOOOOOOO, I went into the bottle shop with aunt Brenda to get a beer and some coke. Some person that works there pulls her aside as I'm waiting in line. People keep coming up beside me as she is still talking so I allow them to go ahead of me. Eventually I am still standing there and these two high school girls, getting a fountain soda and some chips, step in front of me and one of them says, "Dude, you totally just cut in front of that lady." I reply, "LADY?!? I am only 24!" They snicker and I tell them to go ahead.
WTF!?!?!?!??!?! Do I seriously look old? Is that the new "polite" thing to do to people older than you? Have people regained their manners, or am I just sensitive about being called a "lady"???
