28 Days (Later)

I realized it's been 28 days since my last entry and I haven't been updating this blog as often as I probably should. But I've been busy doing mostly this:

(That's my friend Kate)

And this:
(Yes, that's my other friend, Tequila...)

I think they say that 28 days is the amount of time you have to spend in rehab before you can call yourself "sober". Anyways, I'm doing the reverse: I hope that those 28 days don't go both ways in terms of defining your state of being, though at the moment I do kind of feel like Major Tom. I will try and replace that habit with keeping this blog updated and see if I can avoid turning into a zombie, while actually making this thing even slightly interesting to read. Now that school is starting and I'm moving to my new apartment, my daily routine will hopefully be a bit more regular.

After all, my mother said to get things done...

Define: Seattleite

First Transmission. Define: Seattleite

1.Seattleite

1. Any person living in, or within ten miles of The city of Seattle, WA
2.Is easily agitated when tourist asks to see the original Starbucks, Microsoft or Kurt Cobain's house. True Seattleites do not care for these things.
3.Considers Seattle to be the best city on Earth.
4. Is a pretentious coffee snob due to the thousands of delicious coffee houses and rostaries that surround them.
5. Any person who knows not to visit Pike Place Market on a Saturday.

7. Anybody who knows that "eating dicks" means eating burgers.
8.Any person that hates it when Californians drive through Washington and cry about the rain and the cold.

On the 8th day God created Seattle
and on the 9th day God created the Seattleite
on the 10th day, God finally rested.

4.Seattleite

(noun)
1. A basic reference to a resident of the City of Seattle. This is commonly in reference to anyone around the Seattle area, but when properly used, concerns only with the residents of the City. A resident of Mercer Island or Bellevue, for example, are not "hip" enough to be considered to be true Seattleites.
2. (slang) A mildly derogative term for someone who consumes an excessive amount of coffee. This definition developed under the common conception that all Seattleites do is drink coffee, listen to indie rock, and act snobby.
3. A pretentious "hipster" who resides anywhere in western Washington, reads "The Stranger," and thinks they are "open-minded" because they attended an anti-WTO rally. Phyiscal characteristics may include pretentious goatee and somber paleness. Unmatching "hipster" clothes are also a must.
