2006-08-18T08:57:30Z gone-dispatch so im back from north carolina.<br /><br />it was cool to be there but my grandma is not very grandmotherly and i didnt really do a lot while i was there, which kindof sucks. i think tomorrow or sometime im going to post some pictures, cause my hair is shorter and i have a lot of exciting clothes.<br /><br />yesterday completely sucked, flying to/from north carolina is like, painful. i had a really long layover in seattle, it was supposed to be about 5 hours but it ended up being about 6 hours. and i called david because i really really really wanted to see him and i was like a fucking hour away but i couldnt. and im sure he had good reasons but STILL. i dont know when the next time im going to be near the seattle area is. and so i was kindof annoyed and in a super bad mood the whole day anyways. and i havent talked to him since then (it feels like more than a day ago) cause he has his japanese final tomorrow and then he will be done with the class which is good because he allllways has homework. ugh. i dont want to be the crazy needy psycho bitch but i feel like thats what i am. i am not sure what exactly is going on.<br /><br />i talked to someone else from billys party who said im awesome, apparently drunk parties with college boys is a good place to find guys who think im attractive? they arent particularly appealing boys though, even if i was single i wouldnt want to date them.<br /><br />im so tiiiiiiired and school starts monday. im taking<br />ap spanish<br />ap art history<br />ap econ<br />yoga<br />ap english<br />free period<br /><br />woo lots of ap classes. i have no idea how this year is going to go. my free period is going to be my college prep time according to mom.<br /><br />i talked to mr denick tonight and oh man. lol i talked to him for a long time about europe and stuff and i was really hyper anyways and i kept waving my arms around and stuff and he laughed at me. i really really hope he has 6th period free so i can hang out in his classroom. i still think hes hot. he has a beard now too. but it looks a lot better than the one he had last year. i was glad i got to see people tonight, i hadnt seen john all summer and id seen kate once. i dont have any classes with kris harper and it makes me sad :( well we both have 6th free, but that doesnt really count.<br /><br />ok i love this song<br

the southern food and how the people talk and oh man i missed it. im glad i came now, even if it is awkward with my grandma. weve gone shopping a lot and ive read 5 books since i left fairbanks. i havent seen my grandpa much either but ehh. i got my grandpas class ring (my real grandpa, the one married to my grandma is my step grandpa) and its cool. its from 1952 and its gold and has a big g for greensboro high. it doesnt really fit but thats ok. we call him granddaddy and my other grandpa pawpaw and my grandma suesue. <br /><br />today was the rehearsal for the wedding and that was boring but the dinner was soo good. it was barbaque and beans and coleslaw. i havent had good coleslaw in FOREVER. and the tea is the best. ive never liked tea but i like this stuff, probably because its sweet tea. its weird that calebs getting married. his best man is this guy named peter who has these massive awesome sideburns and a really deep voice(i love it!). he drove down with caleb and so we ate breakfast with them before they left, me and steven and my parents and maybe thomas. and so we were talking to him today and introducing everyone and dads like oh you must remember steven and hes like noo, mostly i remember her, caitlin (and points to me). what does that mean? and then calebs brother who is probably like 20? has a ton of tattoos. i want to find out how many he has.<br /><br />i think im going to see my (step) cousins on sunday. there is katherine and luke and cole and jordan. cole is going to be sophomore in college and katherine will be a junior and luke is my age and jordan is a little older than thomas. its weird because i havent seen them in a looong time, at least 5 or 6 years. steven has never seen them. and we will see my uncle martin who is in a band! a bluegrass band. hes like 40 and still single and has had lots of different jobs. i love his accent, i think, its been almost 4 years since ive seen him though. i wish north carolina was closer to ak, its a bitch flying there. it takes longer to get there then to europe (on condor).<br /><br />i would really like to go to school here, except its far away. and david is in seattle. but who knows what things will be like at this time next year. i shouldnt pick where i go because of a boy. i miss him a lot though. he doesnt email me as much and it makes me sad. oh well. he cant be perfect.

am jealous. because they are kindof well known, and it was like a 10 dollar show. and they arent bad (they arent my favorite, but i like them) but it has been SO LONG since i have been to a show and i miss going to them. <br /><br />i miss david a lot because i havent been talking to him as much. he was online tonight and i was waiting for him to email me but he didnt :( i am such an awkward person sometimes.<br /><br />oh god this kaskade song makes me think of our tent in switzerland and trains and i miss it soo much. even though the tent was cold and i was cranky and we all slid down to the end of the tent and made funny noises and i was sunburned but the veiw OH THE VIEW was right there and so pretty and amazing. and the trains were fast and quiet and awkward because i am too loud but they were so cool because ive only been on trains in europe and every train we went on meant we were going to a new exciting amazing place. im going back, i already know it. im planning on it.

(hooker jokes anyone?) we kindof wandered around munich, looked for a place to eat, and i think we were all alseep by 9:30. the next morning we went to dachaou, which was one of the first concentration camps. dachaou is actually the name of the city that the camp was near, which we all thought was really creepy and we wondered why people still lived there. dachaou was mostly a political prisoner type camp, although they had jews there they were in the minority. we saw the gas chambers there, which may or may have not been used. if they were used they were used on small groups of people, not for mass exterminations like they did at other camps like auschwitz. <br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe180.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />This is the courtyard where they did role call every morning<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe176.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe181.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe183.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />This is a memorial statue and if you look closely you can see that its made up of emanciated concentration camp victims<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe188.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />This sign, which is on the door to enter the concentration camp, says ‘work makes you free’ in german, which was a sick joke for everyone inside the camp.<br /><br />After dachaou we went back to munich and saw the glockenspiel, which is a big clock, and went up in the church tower and then wandered around. Sara, marina, and I found an H&M and bought clothes.<br />,<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe200.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />The glockenspiel<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe197.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe193.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />These two are from the to of the tower at the church<br /><br />We took an overnight train to rome, and fyi, never ever take a cuccette. Basically what it is is a small compartment that normally about 6 people would sit in, but instead of having chairs these have beds, 3 on each side. The bed on the top has the most room above it, if you don’t need to use the shelves for luggage, but its about 6 feet high and my bed happened to have no straps, so if we suddenly stopped I would fly off. I think I woke up every time I wanted to change positions, so I wouldn’t fall off. <br /> The 2 beds underneath have less room, especially the one on the bottom, there is about 2 feet of space until the next bed. It was really really hot in our cuccette, our sheets that came with the beds turned out to be these long polyester sheets you fold in half to cover you. Needless to say, it was an interesting night.<br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe206.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe210.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe207.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />There are poppies everywhere in italy, even between train tracks.<br /><br />We got to our hotel, which was nice even though the hallway kindof smelled like pee, and from the top of the hotel (there were like 8 flights of stairs, talk about a leg workout) you could see the colosseum.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe007.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br />We walked to the colosseum, and went through the palatine, the colosseum and the roman forum<br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe027.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe020.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br />The next day we went to st peters and the Vatican museum and the Spanish steps and the trevi fountain.<br />We took the metro to the Vatican, and it was a little scary because it was sooooo packed, and then it stopped at a stop, and Kathy was trying to figure out if that was where we got off or not, and finally shes like get off!!! So we stand there for a second and then we all run off, hoping that the doors wont close on us because when we were getting on this guy almost got shut in the door. A bunh of people were laughing at us and waved as the metro drove away.<br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe327.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />Sara didn’t do to well on the metros :p<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe223.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe255.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />This was in the Vatican museum<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe236.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br />Then we climbed the dome of st peters, it was like 600 steps and it was INSANE. We had been walking around a TON, and our feet really hurt, and then we had to stand in line for like half an hour and so right before we went up the stairs we took off our shoes and socks and started running up the stairs. We didn’t run up all of them, because the stairs got narrower and narrower, but we were barefoot all the way up and all the way down. The view from the dome was amazing, you could see sooooo much.<br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe310.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />Us walking down in our bare feet<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe279.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe285.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe300.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe230.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br />The Spanish steps, which we ended up going to again, when we were trying to get home and realized it was 9:05 and the metro closed at 9<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe333.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe352.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br />After the first time at the Spanish steps we went to the trevi fountain, where we met the first of several creepy European men.<br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe343.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />We were walking around looking at the fountain and stuff when we walk by these three guys who are in like their early 30s or something, and they are like hey can you take a picture of us? So im like sure no problem and take their picture, and they ask if we want ours taken, so we say yes and I hand them my camera. As were walking to the bench to sit down sara whispers ‘ok now be prepared to run after him if he tries to take your camera,’ because I guess shed seen that happen in a movie or something. And so the guy is taking a picture of us and then his friend is standing next to him with HIS camera taking pictures of US. So after that they ask us where were from and we tell them Alaska and they are all oh were from Chicago, even though they all have thick Italian accents. In Florence, one of our waiters told us the same thing when he found out we were from the states, so I guess its just something they tell Americans.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe344.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br /><br />After that we go down to the actual fountain to throw in our coins and get more pictures taken. And im standing there kindof looking around, and there are these guys sitting behind molly, and they were watching us when we had been getting our pictures taken. And so I looked at one of them, not really trying to make eye contact or anything, and he looks at me and bugs out his eyes and makes this creepy face and I obviously looked surprised and kindof stuck my head in saras shoulder and was like “sara that guy made a face at me!!” and while I was doing that I can hear him laughing and talking to his friends in Italian.<br /><br />After the trevi fountain we tried to get back to our hotel, which included taking a metro stop the wrong way and then realizing it closed, walking up the Spanish steps and looking for a bus station, walking in a big circle for half an hour or 45 minutes looking for said bus station, finding out that our hotel is only like 15 or 20 minutes away, half the group taking a taxi back and the rest walking, and the ones walking passing the ones driving and throwing their bags in the car, and yet another guy creeping me out. This time we were standing on the sidewalk trying to figure out where we are and where we need to go, and because there are 11 of us we always took up a lot of room. So we are filling up the sidewalk and someone is trying to walk by and so we were moving to the sides, but I moved to the wrong side and robin goes “Caitlin!” trying to get me to go to the other side or something, right as this guy is walking by, and so he goes “Caitlin!” and then keeps walking.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/europe%2006/europe355.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />We passed this car while we were walking, and its actually smaller than a smart car, amazingly.<br /><br /><br />oh and im leaving on monday, but instead of coming back on the 9th i guess im coming back on the 18th, because i have to go to california after going to the quaker conference urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:caitygirl16:66644 2006-06-18T21:10:46Z 2006-06-18T21:10:46Z in paris<br /><br />it is insanely hot, i thought i was going to melt today. ive been buying lots of clothes. sara and i watched the world cup game toda with south korea and frane and there were all these koreans in the hostel and they were so loud, it was so muh fun. i leave on thursday, and im exited but i wish i could sta longer kindof. it will be reall nice to have the omforts of home again, like a washing machine and lots of clothes and music whenever i want it. i onl have 4 or 5 pairs of underwear, and i bought new socks so that i would have more than like 3 pairs. washing things in the sink sucks. and my pants and shorts and skirt are big, so i think ive lost some weight. or theyve stretched a lot. but ive been walking a hell of a lot.<br /><br />so i ome home thursday at like 1, or 11, i dont remember which. and then i leave again on the 26th or the 27th<br /><br />ive been taking lots of pictures :)) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:caitygirl16:66526 2006-06-01T09:15:08Z 2006-06-01T09:15:08Z daft punk leaving tomorrow at 3:25, i have to be at the airport at 12:30<br /><br />i come back on the 23rd at like 1:30.<br /><br />going to germany, italy, switzerland and france. man im nervous even though ive gone on trips like this before. <br /><br />and then i leave again on the 26th to go to washington/oregon area to look at colleges and go to that stupid quaker conference for a week. and then im going to north carolina sometime.<br /><br />if you want me to write you i need your address<br /><br />i hung out with alex today and it was fun but sad because we said goodbye and he told me he loved me. i think its the first time ive actually had like a heartfelt goodbye before he left. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:caitygirl16:66053 2006-05-17T04:07:21Z 2006-05-17T04:07:21Z the format i got new glasses<br /><br /><a name="cutid1"></a><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/me/LastRoll-13.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />old glasses<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/newglasses006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />hi i hate looking at the camera<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/newglasses005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><br />i think i look like a hospitalized anorexic in this picture<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/georgete1212/newglasses001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:caitygirl16:65992 2006-05-08T07:37:58Z 2006-05-08T07:37:58Z headlock-imogen heap fucking boys<br /><br />i miss how it used to be with wade and steve but they are basically douches now.<br /><br />the majority of boys in fairbanks are the same;
