seattle turned out to be a pretty okay town. i got to hang out with rachel (the coolest roommate i've ever had on the west coast) and clare (the coolest roommate i ever had on the east coast) and they got to meet each other which is pretty great.
rachel and the weissman clan are just the most fabulous people. once her mother warmed up to me, i was bombarded with her 101 business ideas that would make someone a million bucks. i would tell you any one of them, but i'm sworn to secrecy. i swear one of them has nothing to do with pirates.
to be honest, when rachel and her mom are together, it's hard to keep up. it's like watching a movie on fast forward. everytime i tried to speak, i'd find i was commenting on something that was mentioned 5 minutes earlier ...like i was moving in ultra slow motion, my voice all stretched out and low ... "noooooo, iiiiiii doooooon't thiiiinnnnkk thhaaaaaaattsssss a baaaaaadddddd iiiiddeeeeeaaaaaaa". i think her mom liked me though, i at least got points for helping smoosh animal poop into her rose garden to make her flowers grow better.
rachel is probably one of the bestest people i know. she bent over backwards for me last weekend and pretty much helped me get my shit together for my camping. she's good like that. we had lots of fun and she even got electrocuted!
clare is a muppet. a triathalon doing muppet. she had to register the day before the race and they pre-marked her arm with her race number in black grease paint (which is totally stupid b/c it just wears off and they do it again the next day anyway), but this just means that she got to walk around Seattle all day on saturday with a big '69' on her arm. she swears that it said 4769, but we all know she's lying. just give it up clare, we got yer number.
clare and i went to see the famous fish tossing at the market. trick is, somebody has to buy a fish first. which no one did. there were 40 people standing around waiting for just one lousy sap to buy a fish. but as we all know, fish are yukky. who would want to buy a fish? they weren't even alive so you could play with them.
on my last night there, rachel and her friend haley took me to the worst party i've ever been to. it was like a frat party with no alcohol ... complete with skanks! there were a few redeamable people there which made the 15 minutes we stayed tolerable, but i made rachel promise to never do that to me again.
this is a dumb way to end a post, but you'll just have to deal 'cause otherwise i'm never going to write all these updates i didn't do when they were fresh in my head.

i've dedcided after the reading the fifth (or so) post tonight (working backward), you have a talent for making me laugh. i don't laugh that often at things I read, but maybe i just don't read enough. now i'm devaluing what i first said - i'll stick with that - you make make me laugh! thanks:)
