Good Lookin'

Hey good lookin,

haha oh man that is an expensive tip.  Wait what was this nate fellow tripping on? haha acid? holy moly that is crazy. That would be so hard.

You think you're really going to go for this bike? What about the motorcycle you're thinkin about, too?

hahaha I really hope I know who ralph nader is, but I don't know his hometown. He's gotta be from connecticut somewhere?

I wish I had a good story but I can't really think of anything. I'm excited for the fourth! Have a wonderful weekend at home, I can't wait to see ya!

I see the moon and the moon sees me,
The moon sees somebody I can't see.
Shine on the one who waits for me,
Shine on the cuter from above. :-)
(a slightly edited version of the song my granny taught me when I was a lil kid)
Rachers.

Pumpkin

hey pumpkin

haha those are funny you definitely did tell me about a couple of them before but not all of them for sure... the one about the tip is funny because jeff told me a story when we were up at hampton beach about going to a bar and buying one round of drinks for everyone which cost him like $15... he got the bill and meant to leave a $3 tip but where he thought it said total it actually said tip, so he wrote in $18 and ended up leaving that for a tip.. hahah 120% tip, not quite as big as yours but not bad

im sorry this isnt long im really tired though, im excited for this weekend and i bet you are too though

its gonna be awesome to see all of your family again and then next weekend is countryfest!!!

haha cant wait

but for now im going to go, ill send you a better one tomorrow or this weekend :)

hope to see you in my dreams,

chris

p.s. one guy i met today at the picnic knew the guy that i might buy the bike from and we talked for a while about that and he invited me to go biking with him sometime which would be really cool, he seems like a fun guy and he knows a lot of trails so it would be fun

oh and how could i forget i was talking to this other guy whos name is nate i think, hes an engineer and i had met him but never really talked to him much before, so we were talking about fishing and random stuff and then got to talking about hiking and i told him about hiking all the mountains i hiked in maine last summer and told him i hiked saddleback mountain and he told me a story about when he did it with his friends and he was like "yeah me and a bunch of friends hiked that one weekend and made it up to top tripping balls and it was pretty crazy" haha it was really funny he totally doesnt seem like that kind of guy but it was a pretty funny story, better than i made it seem haha

anyways, heeres a little trivia.... hopefully you know who he is because this otherwise wont be interesting at all... do you know where ralph nader's hometown is???

miss you miss you really wanna kiss you

Stories

hehe going through and deleting old files, I found a list of things that I wanted to remember to tell Stevie about last winter break, and I think you'll think some of them are funny:

1. So I visited Kayla in SB, and she was completely broke after Brazil, so we were scavenging around her car for change to get more gas. She went in the station to pay with what we had found, and while she was in there, I found another quarter and dime. So I ran in after her to give them to her, and she goes, "No no! It's ok, I already paid, and it came out to exactly $6.66! That's lucky, right?!"

2. Christmas Eve 2009. Of course I have to work, at my Montana job, a little shitty restaurant. Some really nice guy gave me a $20 tip on his like $5 meal, so that was a fantastic start to the night. However, it only went downhill from there. I spilled a huge thing of hot sauce all over myself. Then, I broke a tea glass. Finally, once the restaurant had closed and we had cleaned up and everything, I was the last one to leave. Of course everyone is at home on Christmas Eve, so the parking lot is completely empty except for my lil car. I go to turn it on, and whoooops, I had left the lights on, and the battery was dead. I go searching through my bag to find my phone to call home. Of course, perfect day to forget it at home. I'm stuck in this parking lot, at negative something degrees, had only brought a sweatshirt to work cause it gets really hot inside, and I'm sitting there thinking, "Holy shit, what the hell am I supposed to do?!" Literally nothing is open. Finally, fifteen minutes in, when I'm really starting to freak out, I spot two girls walking across the other end of the parking  lot. I sprinted over, and they were like two trailer park girls, but they were nice and let me borrow their phone in exchange for sitting in my car for fifteen minutes waiting for some person to come pick them up.

3. I was talking to Kayla, and I said "You know, when I first met you, I really had no idea you were even half Japanese." She goes, "Oh, what did you think I was?" My response, "Oh, you know, just-- normal."

4. Kayla's little Japanese grandma is so funny. We stayed with her in LA, and when we were watching the lakers' game, she was like on the edge of her seat the whole time, yelling things like, "Git 'im! Git 'im! Block 'im!", just so into the game. Then she looks at me and goes, "You got a boyfriend, Rachel?" So I told her I didn't, and she goes, "Ohhh, that's smart. The boys probably like you, huh, so you can have LOTS of boyfriends! Kayla, why don't you do that? Why do you have a boyfriend?"
Then she goes, "Rachel, would you ever date a black boy?" So I said sure. And she goes, "And your parents would be ok with that?" I laughed and said yea, so she goes, "ooooo, my parents, no no. They would never let me do that!"

5. So Brandon, my mom and I are driving in the car somewhere over break, and I'm copilot/music controller. So I forget what song it was, but my mom goes, "Ughhh change this shit." I wouldn't, and so she always pulls this reasoning out, because apparently I was her worst pregnancy, and she says: "Change it! I suffered through nine months of hell with you. You ruined my trip to Hawaii." Then Brandon goes, "Mom why the hell did you go to Hawaii when you were pregnant?" which I never even thought about. My mom's response: "Well, I didn't PLAN on being pregnant!"
haha so apparently I wasn't planned.

Boo Boo

heeyyyy boo boo,

Yup you get ten points :-) Maybe the first reward will be at 100...I have a pretty good one in mind. But it may be too specific.
And I definitely want to see your.... hammer. You'll have to show me what it can do sometime. ;)
And I don't mind long.... emails. meheh ok that was the last stupid joke of this email.

Yea wishbone was cool but all jack russell terriers I've met in real life are such lil shits. They bark and bite so much.  My dog tore one up one time because it went after my parents. The owner wound up having to put it down a few months later anyhow(after it received extensive, costly surgery from the wounds my dog inflicted) because it attacked the mailman.
My brother was all about bill nye. I think I remember him trying a bunch of the experiments and stuff.

Who in the world comes up with these animal group names? ha they are so bizarre. That would be a fun job.

Oh baby that's exciting about the bike! You'll have to let me know what you decide.

haha I'm off to try to sleep,
gnight shexy,
rach

Chicken Butt

whats up chicken butt

yeah youre right, he wears the pilots hat with the goggles and right again, he is a flying squirrel. im happy you got that and thats a cute story haha i need to remember to call you bullwinkle sometimes then. but yes of course i remember yogi bear, that was either easy or im just really good, him and boo boo always stole the campers picnic baskets

i had forgotten what wishbone was but im pretty sure i saw that a couple times and it made me want a little jack russel so badly, and yeah i watched bill nye a bunch of times, i think my brothers liked watching it

and yeah i bought a hammer, i had been borrowing someones tools the first week and then i had my mom bring up my tool belt so i could give him his back but the hammer in my tool belt was not a good one so i got a new one and its soooo cool haha maybe ill show you sometime

and the story about davis is really funny, i know him pretty well. we talked a lot freshman year because his room was next to mine and max's on third floor west but not very much since then but i say hi, hes a nice guy... thats totally your call though i would try to be nice but its kinda hard if you want him to stop doing that

yeah i like my stocking, its kinda lame compared to everyone else in my familys' bc i think my mom was tired of making them by the time i came around so just bought one of the red furry ones and then sewed stuff on it but i still like it

oh and today i went and got a new chain for my bike and was talking to a guy there who was really cool about other stuff i need to get for it and he helped me out and told me what i need to know before i buy new parts for it and then i was telling him that its an old bike and i want to fix it so that i have it but id really like to get a new bike with certain things on it and showed him one in the store that i really liked and he was like oh... i actually have a bike a little better than that, pretty much like another one in the store that he bought i think he said last year and barely rode but now is kinda tight on money and his wife wants him to get rid of it so he said he'd offer it to me for only $800 which is a lot cheaper than the one that was there and i really want to do it... i got his number but i wanna think about it a little bit at least before i make any moves

haha i think ive heard that joke before, probably on a laffy taffy or one of those popsicle sticks one time

i really like your little poem for the end of your email...makes me wish i could see you sooner than were planning on really badly :(

anyways, sorry for making the email so long

untill we meet again,

chris

p.s. a group of woodpeckers is called a descent, and a group of wombats is called a wisdom... i would have made those questions but no offense i didnt expect you to get them

xo

Goob

heya goob,

cameltoes? haha that is so weird.

Rocky is a lil squirrel thing!! and doesn't he wear like a flying hat? Maybe he's a flying squirrel. For hockey in high school, my freshman year, my friend Katie and I were both defense. My D partner was a junior named Rachel, and hers was a senior named Katie. So we were Rachel squared and Katie squared. But besides that, it was hard having two Rachels on the team, so they started calling the other Rachel Rocky. So then they started calling me Bullwinkle. hehe. Do you remember the bear from another cartoon, who would always go, "Heyyyy boo boo! What do you think is in that pic-a-nic Basket?" Ten points if you get his name.
Did you ever watch like Wishbone, or Bill Nye the Science Guy?

You bought a hammer? haha cool how come you got your own? Is it special somehow?

hehe okie we'll have to pick out a scary movie for next time we hang out :-)

Man sometimes I'm so stupid. The other day Robin was telling a story about how Elias asked her on a date, but basically all he said was "Want to go hiking with me this weekend?" and so I looked at her, and was like, "Wait, that's a date? That's not just like hanging out?" Apparently it is and I'm just so clueless.... I don't know if you know Davis Knox, but he asked me last week, "Maybe want to make dinner some night this week?" So I said sure, cause I figured he didn't have too many friends around this summer, so I said he could come over and we made food for us and Robin and stuff. Then this week, he was like, "Want to get some Mr. Wasab?" and I freakin love Mr. Wasab, so I was like, "hells yes!" But he definitely thought it was a date. He was even dressed in khakis and a button down. Jeeez, I've never tried so hard to pay for a check, or gotten out of a car faster. I came home and was like, "shit I'm going to have to avoid him for the rest of my life." Derk and Robin and all them think it's hilarious, esp cause Robin heard someone in her lab talking about "Davis' date", but I feel like such a bitch, cause he's a genuinely nice guy, but holymoly I don't know if I should talk to him or just avoid him.

To make a hanky dance you put a little boogie in it!!

Aw that's so cute that snoopy is on your stocking. I've got a cat, my mom knitted all ours when she used to knit...I used to wear some ugly sweaters and stuff that she would make. yechhh, brandon and I would always have matching ones on our christmas cards and stuff.

I very much miss you,
I wish I could kiss you,
And cuddle and hug you,
and just snuggle bug you,
rach
