it's the end of the world as we know it

I'm in the mood to make all my titles song lyrics. We'll see how long that lasts.
I've actually made some stuff, mostly just working on a class sample. However, no pictures. These last couple of weeks have been crazy/awful. My sister left for UVA, my great aunt died, I started school with an English teacher who thinks that hers is the only class I have(meanwhile I'm taking college math, a foreign language, AND history), I'm having crazy dreams about people including the end of the world, and yesterday Evan left for school, leaving my boyfriend in shambles. We all miss somebody. Enough depressing thoughts, I whipped out some coolo pictures from Philadelphia when we went a couple of weeks ago.


The Gallery train station in Philadelphia. The whole thing looks like this, it's so cool. My Uncle actually helped to do the lighting in here.


Independence hall. We didn't actually go in, but I've been there before. It's one of those cool historical places.


Queen Anne's Lace. It grows wildly across the street from my grandmother's house. It reminds me of good times.


Some weirdo flower growing in her garden - I love the different patterns it creates.


Phlox in my other grandmother's garden. I thought it was so gorgeous!


My grandfather's upside-down tomato plant. He absolutely loves this planter my cousin got for him a couple of years ago.


Sign for Obama in the Obama south Philadelphia headquarters. I don't know if anyone else saw his speech the other night - it was pretty awesome. Maybe not one of his best, but still wonderful.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -Mahatma Gandhi.

Even if you don't vote my way please make sure and VOTE.


Time for me to go do yoga and get ready for work.........

the weirdo flower is a spider plant. they reseed themselves and grow like crazy (well, in PA they don't, and at our old house they did. nothing seems to grow well here).

I see that Barack Obama wants everyone to learn a foreign language, but which one should it be?

The British learn French, the Australians study Japanese, and the Americans prefer Spanish.

Yet this leaves Mandarin Chinese out of the equation.

Interestingly nine British MP's have nominated Esperanto for the Nobel Peace Prize 2008.
