Varvara is crazy. She called at like 11 o'clock at night, after everybody was already in bed, just to make sure we were coming to whatever activity was happening the next day, and didn't think it at all late. I've had to talk to Varvara like 6 days out of the lat eight. Good grief, she's exhausting.

I love Fremont. And touristy stuff. I get to do all the touristy stuff I don't usually get to do, because Camille's here and she's, well, a tourist. But I particularly love Fremont. We went to see the troll under the bridge and the sunday market, and all the little antique malls and vintage clothes shops.  I bought a magnetic bracelet which is a very jolly sort of purpley/colour changey, and can also be used as an anklet, necklace, headband, etc. And a top hat. Well, sort of. It's like a short sort of top hat, and it looks like it belongs to the mad hatter. But it actuall fits me, unlike my bowler. So, huzzah for hats! I tried on lots of silly flower queen mum-type hats.

Zoo yesterday. Took lots of jolly pictures of animals. I loff my camera. When I decide to not be lazy and upload the pictures I shall post them. Along with assorted other pictures of late. 4th of July, end of school, etc. Ice Caves at Granite falls Friday. We were supposed to leave at 1, and get back at 4. Actually, we left around 1:30, and got back three hours late. We got home after 7. Varvara's planning skills are really not the greatest. And we were only actually there for like an hour and a half. Really not sure how we managed that. We were supposed to all meet at the Jack in the Box in the U-district, which is the most random place ever. We were using their parking lot, and the angry Jack in the Box guy came out and told us he was going to give us $65 tickets if we didn't move or buy a good lot of crappy food (not that he said that). Heh.

Thursday was Pirates of the Carribean. [vaguely spoilerish] I liked the first one better. This one ended funny, nothing was resolved, and it made me kinda sad. I love the fishy dudes. Ah well. I bet I'll get to like it better once I've seen it again. [/spoilerishness]

Wednesday me and Cydo and Xandi and Ian wandered about downtown. Nothing really especially remarkable. Bought Pride and Prejudice (ze book), because I've been wanting it for ages.

Tuesday canoeing. Very amusing. Silly Axel (French dude) pushed over somebody else's canoe. They got rather wet. Monday paddle-boats on Greenlake. Crazy people went swimming. Including Varvara, which is a very scary thought.

Long post. But then, I don't post often, so they ought to be long. I should post more often.
