 * Oh noes, now I caused you to archive your page, haha.
 * I kind of suck at navigating. I can read maps and usually figure out what highway I'm on, but I get lost on generic suburban-type streets/shopping centers, probably because they look the same. It's like 'wal mart-target-home depot-mcdonalds-wal mart-super target. And then I get all turned around and confused. One of the family cars has a navigation system, so I feel better about myself when I'm using that car, lol.
 * I always make sure I have a playlist on my iPod or a good long CD so I have good music and I won't have to skip songs while I'm driving. I actually haven't listened to the radio in a few years, because the bad music distracts me. There aren't any good radio stations here, except a few XM ones which I don't hear unless I hijack my dad's car. The only time I hear newer music is when I'm trapped in a friend's car who is playing Lady Gaga or something. Then I'm like 'halp'. 05:13, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Now you know how I feel. And I just wanted to get rid of all that old stuff, becuase large pages are very slow on this computer. Ironically, the archiving has made this page bigger then the section that was here before, so I havent exactly help myself much.

I once had a satnav, but I broke it. Man I was pissed. Never worked well anyway. I like to adventure into places unknown, but it has to be at my pace, bacause walking doesn't have traffic or stoplights.

Have fun blowing shit up today. Tomorrow my friend and my self are going to the schools and collect unexploded ordinance as a public service. Then blow them up ourselves. It's just our civic duty. Big McLargeHuge 20:14, July 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Walking has traffic, if you're in Chicago and everyone walks slow and makes unexpected stops and turns, lol. People also don't give you personal space. But yeah. Mini Chicago rant. It's gross there.
 * I didn't blow any shit up yesterday. Although I heard shit blowing up yesterday, and 2 days before. It's like 4th of July is a 3 day event where I live. Most fireworks are illegal here, you can't really buy anything except sparklers, unless you go one state over and buy things and then come back. Which a lot of people do...
 * Do people blow up fireworks near schools? Lol. Have fun with your (rejected) fireworks :P 22:33, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

I mean walking and adventuring where people aren't. I've walked the extra wide sidewalks of Seattle, but even there, I wouldn't want to walk in the grody areas. Welfare don't work.

Yeah, many cities have that, fireworks rules. I knew you live in Chicagie, but didn't know you lived in the anti-fun zone. OH MY GOD!! I almost got killed! Or slightly burned and cuncussive damage to my ears. Anyway. You see, some mortars had fallen short, but that is just a hand over your face. But once, three mortar tubes failed simultaneously, and all three detonated 10 to 20 feet above me. Needless to say, I ran like a, fast thing going fast. I knew what to do, because I have had that happen to me before. But the real kicker is when a ground shooter fell over, and it was pointed at me. I looked down at the right moment, and saw a glowing red and green thing right behind my right ankle. I bolted. Two steps later, the thing exploded. I felt the explosion hit my ear, and I thought I got ear damage. The thing is that they were in a row, so when I ran, they followed me! I yelled, 'SHIT! RUN!' Trampled over chairs and a bike and took cover near a shed. Some people got hit,but everybody was ok. The greatest finale of all, running for your life.

Well, went out looking for unexploded blahblah with my friend. I dont know why I ever do anything with him. He won't grow up, and he is a dick to his girlfriend. Wow, such a low note to end this on. Ok... Yes people blow stuff up near schools, mostly because suburban schools aren't brick boxes with other drity brick boxes next to them. But it looks like the local constablry maintained strict ruling on them, so I didn't find much. It rained, so he stuff I did find was crap.

Oh poopie, that was a long one. I'll wrap this up by saying this, sibilance. Sibilance. Big McLargeHuge 04:04, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I had to look up 'sibilance' on my computer. Ssssssibilance.
 * Yeah. I don't live iiiin Chicags but when I used to go to school there... Bleh. There were a few nice days but usually it's too cold or hot and the windy-ness blows bits of trash into your face. Lol. It's gross. Or grody, if you will. But I'm assuming all of IL is an anti-fun zone when it comes to fireworks.
 * I want to live in the middle of nowhere when I can wander around at night on an adventure and nobody would come kill me, haha. My friend lives out on a farm and we go around the dirt roads at night on the Gator (it's like a little john deere off-road golf cart looking thing) and it's awesome because there aren't people. I just went out there tonight with my friends and it's fantastic. I took a train to San Francisco last summer and we went through Colorado and there were random houses up in mountains. The only thing that would suck is if you had to go to a hospital for some reason. Then you'd probably need like, a helicopter. Hmm.
 * But yeah, fireworks. Lol. I'm glad you weren't deafened :P Those fireworks followed you on purpose... Shady things, them.
 * I'm sorry your friend's an asshole. I have a friend that's similar. Well, she doesn't have a boyfriend because I'm sure no one could stand her. She says stuff to get attention like "I sleep in so late that once I didn't see daylight for 8 days" and "you know what the best breakfast is? Cake. With ice cream" and "I'd save my laptop before I'd save a person." but she'd be totally serious. And keep talking about it for 10 minutes. It's actually hilarious but she doesn't say it to be funny. It's like we're forced to be friends with her because some of my friends, me included, have known her since kindergarten. I haven't seen her in a while, I guess she only hangs out with people who like to get drunk. Yay for wall of text/ending on a low note! 06:54, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Yep yep yep. It's not that he is an asshole, it's just, and I think it may be the same for you also, that as we both got older, only one of us was growing up. I know what you mean by feeling that it is a forced friendship, becuase it is not easy to let go somebody I've known since I was 3.

I also enjoy wandering about the middle of nowhere (hopefully not needing rescue for one of many reasons). At our families annual vaction spot, I would wander around, searching out every nook and cranny, well, the equivalent of that on trails and such. The place is closed in by an electronic gate, but 15 plus years of snooping has shown me otherwise. I've been stopped by the police like 3 times there. But the middle of nowhere at night are spectacular. The deserts in Eastern Washington are perfect; they are very warm at night in the summer, with the endless universe above you. Climbing up to the top of a plateau can be exhausting, and a little scary up top, but you can see everything. I wish I could see tha again. I wish I could take you to see it... Ending on an elypsis, not bad, not bad. Big McLargeHuge 23:08, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's awesome. I didn't know there was a desert-y part of Warshington? And when you said 'electronic gate' i immediately assumed 'electronic fence', which would be bad. Lol. It's like Jurassic Park. But yeah, I love the desert, the time I went to Arizona and Nevada was awesome. I like that there's nothing there, lol. Probably because I don't like being in a suburb/city all the time where there's stuff everywhere. The only signs of nature around is like fake nature, all the stuff people plant here is invasive, like grass. Blah. I want a yard with cacti in it.
 * Being nowhere at night (Nowhere at Night- sounds like an indie band name, psh) is the best because you can see constellations. In cities the lights somehow drown them out so you can't see anything and it's lame. But the only ones I know are big/little Dipper.
 * Yeah that's probably true about my friend. But for a while she was mature and then decided not to be. It's like... What? lol.
 * My friends want to go camping soon. Hopefully somewhere cool (but there are no epic hills around here except for like, garbage dump things with grass on them, whatever those are called. Fail.) I dunno if I could deal with them though, especially since I'm the only one who doesn't freak out when I see an insect. Yesterday, there was a dragonfly stuck in my house somehow. But I don't like when people squirsh bugs. I have a glass in my room just for catching bugs to dump them outside, lol. 00:58, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Yep, the Cascade mountain range provides a shield from the effects of the Pacfic. Plus, low humidity provides bearable, yet hot summers and freezing winters, but the exposures will catch up to you. It's flat as hell and not a tree for miles up north. The Pass can be treacherous in winter, and Yakima is ugly as butt-fat. Ok, thats enough.

I'm not completely desert attuned; I would wander around a forest as soon as wander around a desert. Except bugs. I cant stand some of them bugs. I don't 'freak out', becuase I am ok with most household pests, but the weird waky wild things I don't handle well.

Being sandwiched (sort of) betwixt Bellevue and Everett gives an unhealthy glow in the night sky, so I can't see stars from my home either. I love reading about atronomy, but I never remember anything about it. Big McLargeHuge 03:57, July 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Winters here are crap, and especially in Chicago. But the summers here are so humid, it's really gross. It's worse in southern IL when we visit relatives in August every year. Going outside is like a recipe for passing out. I'd be okay with winter if it was pretty, like Yellowstone or something. But you know when, no matter what, your hands are always cold in the winter? Even inside? Well at least that's what happens to me. That's the main reason I hate cold.
 * Now that i've called a Wambulance... Yeah, forests are interesting. Have you ever been so San Francisco in the Muir Woods? It's epic there. It's a long hike but there's this lake up in the trees and it's so cool to see. I took so many pictures when I went there. I also saw a banana slug. Does that qualify as weird/wacky? Science! 19:49, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Interesting, a friend of mine has similar hand woes. Well, I have chronic warm hands, so I don't know exactly what you mean.

I like to be outside in winter under perfect circumstances. Snowing. Anything else, forget it. Snowing daytime, nighttime, urban, forest, whatever, as long as it is snowing. It's a real treat around here to get a good snowfall (disregarding drivers), and when it does, I like to take the opportunity to go for a walk. Especially during the snowfall itself. It's worth a good trudge. Then go inside to warm up. It's a gas fire 'round here. Though a big lodge-style wood fireplace is always lovely. Theres a lodge at Mt. Baker, near the wonderful redneck town of Concrete (fo reals, well, the town itself is ok, but the outskirts are scuzzy) that has that kind, including squishy leather couches, and always a drink behind the bar.

And yet, summer is here. The humidity is high, alergies are flaring up, spiderwebs springing up like weeds, and a heat wave that kicked up 2 days ago. I'm not a big fan of either spiders or San Fransico (sans Mythbusters), though I am ok with slugs, less stepping on them. Ew. Plenty of evergreen to see here in the Evergreen State, though no epic redwoods, or anything like that. I'd show you some pictures of some of the views from Alpental, if I could find them. Snow Lake is remakably clear from that height. Big McLargeHuge 23:00, July 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I went to San Fran last summer with 2 friends. It was so cold there. It was like unexpectedly cold. I wore gloves the whole time (they have alpacas on them!). But it was fun. Except we went to Haight Ashbury and it was disgusting and full of lame hippie stores and annoying people. You know the people in school who are trying to be like, 'groovy' stoner people? That's everyone I saw there. Throw in Amoeba Records, the only useful store that has any kind of music you'd want. The only redeeming factor. But I liked the rest of it... I mean, it's mostly just houses and a pier and some touristy stores. But we were just hanging out trying to recreate Lord of the Rings (I brought my camera and made a movie haha). Half of our trip was traveling there and back by train.
 * Chronic warm hands? That made me lol. Is that legit? Made me think of some commercial and it was like "Are your hands always sweaty?" and it'd always be on at like 3 am last summer when the infomercials come on. And then they'd show some guy who was like "I am SO sweaty". Not to imply you're a sweaty gross person. But I guess 'chronic warm hands' is better than being like curled up in a ball on the couch holding onto a mug of hot tea. And it sucks trying to paint when your hands are freezing.
 * Stepping on a slug. That would be super nasty. I stepped on a centipede once when it was dark in my house. I turned on the light and there were a few legs stuck on my foot and they were still moving. The centipede was like, twisted/crippled and bleeding on my floor (insects have clear blood. I know right?). I put it outside and it probably had an agonizing death. I felt bad and I was grossed out :( 01:55, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, my God, that is Vashon Island! A melting pot of the new and old hippie. Luckily somebody had the bright idea to contain them on an island. Pointless anecdote. I was helping the Sheriff's Office with the Strawberry Festival there. The road was closed off 1/4 mile from the street festival. As in, people and stands in the street. Some old guy wanted to go to a resturant in the middle of it, and got pissed off that he couldn't drive through the festival. I mean, super pissed. He was threatening to report me to the news. Yeah. 'For todays top headline: Police Explorer Scout prevents man from getting dinner'. I don't have a badge number, becuase 1. I don't have a badge, 2. I'M A VOLUNTEER. It was a good laugh with the guys later.

No chronic warm hands, it's just a lot (Or a few. Whatever) of females I have known have cold hands. Just a personal running joke. My first (...and... only...) girlfriend relied on my hands to warm hers. My fingers are a bit stubby (especially compared to my dad and sister) so I guess they retain warmth better. Cross your arms and rub your rib cage/armpits. Works best when I need to warm up a bit. Ah, yip. Ahem. My ears and nose freeze like crazy, though.

Don't worry about killing the bug. Yeah it's disgusting, but insects dont really have central nervous systems, so 'e wouldn't felt it. And remember that insects outnumber all mammals like a badjillion to one. But if I find a nasty big spider inside the house, i'm telling you, I have less mercies then Soviet Russia. Big McLargeHuge 04:21, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Woo! Just got a job at the state fair again! Big McLargeHuge 05:13, July 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * State fair? That sounds... Hectic...
 * That's kind of hilarious/scary that there's an island of hippies. The thing that's stupid is that people who are hippies want to live like 50 years in the past. And they're gross. But I am making a broad categorization here. But still... Even original hippies were mostly spoiled rich kids who didn't have to work because they had enough money to sit around and do nothing. Hm. My only hippie-like credential is being a vegan, but most vegetarian hippies are the stupid kind that wear leather and shit. I'm not bitter... lol.
 * My hands are only cold constantly in the winter, like November-February (this is such a random discussion hahaha). It's worse when I have to get up early for school and all the water in my house is cold and I get to wash my cold hands with cold water. So much cold. But I'm fine, like, now. I think you're surrounded by more cold-handed people (cold-handed... Does that also mean evil or something?) than me, lol. As Craig Ferguson would say... You possess sausage-y fingers.
 * Centipedes. Yeah, I don't feel baaad about it, because it was an accident so it's pointless to get upset about it. It's the feeling of stepping on a crunchy thing that is alive freaked me out. And that its detached legs were still moving. Fun fact, I read (maybe on a Snapple cap or something?) that termites outweigh people 10 to 1. Or maybe there are 10 pounds of termites for every human. Or something. Dammit I don't remember my fun fact. But it's something ridiculous. And yeah, they don't have nervous systems, but I just try not to kill stuff just cause I feel like it/don't like something. I don't like monkeys, but I wouldn't like it if someone killed them. Even though they are creepy. 06:01, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wait, I found it! Here, number 16- "The world's termites outweigh the world's humans 10 to 1". Dang. 06:03, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
