Hiya There

Hiya there

I like working in the shop better only because its fun to see what you do come together and I am always a little nervous of not knowing what to do in the office but its expected. But I like learning how to do stuff that might be useful later.

Yeah I was really hot last night, I woke up a bunch of times, but slept pretty well for the most part I guess. I kept waking up really thirsty but didn't wanna get up.

Thats cool you got a bike, anything is nice to have at school, it makes getting around so much nicer. I ended up putting the old chain back on my bike yesterday and maybe today I'll even go out for a ride, I wanted to yesterday but it was kinda late and ssoooo hot but I might do it today just to do it.

Ralph Nader didn't actually go to my highschool, he just grew up in the town I went to highschool in, still kinda cool I guess. I don't even live in that town though, its actually a good thing that I don't.

And thats kinda funny about the gas tank thing. Some cars do have little arrows down by the gage though. That would be really funny though if that was what they did and people rarely ever knew about it

I have a pretty funny story that I heard at work last week that I wanted to tell you.

There was this big barn in CT near where I live that they built a couple years ago. I think it costed about $10 million, so it was pretty rediculous. They said that once it was finished it looked too nice to put horses in blah blah... The barn was built in kind of an L shape. One of the wings was for the male horses, one for the females. Where the two wings met there was this circular 'rotunda' where they would meet a male and a female and breed them there. So I guess at one point the engineers and the architects and all those people were talking about how tall they needed to make the rotunda. One engineer got asked how tall and he wasnt really sure and he replied "I dont know, how tall are a couple of fucking horses?" I guess he didnt really mean it like horses while they are fucking but thats kind of what they needed to know so it was true... just kinda funny

Anyways

2 more nights, cant wait

Always

Hey Boy

hehe I'm on the computer all day, too. Except for from 10 to 4 today...during that time I'll be at Perrecas. Thus, I got into work at like 7 today to get my hours. Do you like the shop better than the office? Probably, because you're not sitting behind your boss. Ha that's funny that you're near nate, too.

Man it was so hot last night, I was sleeping almost full nakies. Sheesh, I kept waking up just so sticky and uncomfortable. Maybe I'll have to find an ac on craigs list or something.

Speaking of bikes and such, I robbed my Granny of her bike this weekend. She said she never uses it and that I could borrow it for an indefinite period of time. It's not good at all, but it's free and it's nice having one to get around.

That's cool about Nader; I don't think anyone famous went to my high school. I actually haven't even heard of anyone from the wikipedia list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison,_Connecticut.

I like your new picture with the dizzy bat, maybe we'll get some more of that action this coming weekend. Talking to my cousin Erik this weekend, he told me about some concert he went to, maybe it was Kenny Chesney. They were tailgating, and some kids pulled up right next to them in a huge truck, threw a tarp in the bed, and filled it up with water. Then just chilled in their home-made pool as they pre-gamed.

This is a cool fact that Derek told me: http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/what_side_is_the_gas_tank_on_7763.asp
but that is not true, because my dad's silverado pickup doesn't hold to the rule.

Happy day, can't wait for Friday!

Girl

Hey Girl

I'm back in the office this week, now I sit right behind my boss though which kinda sucks but hes pretty cool most of the time.

I don't know what nate was tripping on he didnt say but now I'm sitting near him too.

I don't think I'm gonna go for the bike now that I've had some time to think about it, I'm just gonna fix up mine a bit and it should be more than enough for me, about the motorcycle, I dont know... that would definitely give me something to do, I would need some time to work on it though right when I got it and I don't have anything to work on it with up here so I might wait on that too :( haha that might be a good thing though because my parents are really strongly opposed to me getting one while I'm still in college.. we'll see though

Ralph Nader's hometown is Winsted/Winchester, CT.. which is where I went to highschool

I had a really good weekend, it was nice to go to the pond and relax with everyone and it sounds like you had a really good one too so I'm happy for you

If I think of any good trivia or anything later I'll send it to you since I'm on the computer all day

See you so soon

Chris

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. :-)

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,
