isn't that the way it goes?

wow! hi friends!!!

i got my first email on my newly made blog reader email account!!! THANK YOU TO MY FRIEND DAN!!! reading all the way in sunny florida! it was super exciting to get the first email.

if YOU want to email me with a lovely personal message, here (once again) is the blog email:

the.green.seahorse@gmail.com

i should probably post the address somewhere on the blog in a more permanent location.

anyways. i haven't been feeling well all day. i've been constantly sneezing. like, constantly. i slept for 13 hours last night. and i woke up and felt like crap. and felt like crap right up until i took some ibuprofen last night before supper. i was getting this really, really bad headache. and i thought i could just stand it. but then my teeth started hurting. that part came on pretty quickly. and then i went to the drugs. and i thought to myself, "man, i wish i could smoke this ibuprofen."

and i thought that and then immediately realized, "wow, i actually learned something from taking that drug education class."

because, i know that inhaling a drug is the second fastest way of getting it to your brain. the first being injecting it. but, i wouldn't want to do that.

so, then my headache and toothache went away. and my cold calmed down for a bit. and right now we're still in the calm. i think it must be a cold and not allergies. at first i thought 'allergies,' but then the longer it went on and the crappier anc crappier i was feeling i thought, 'cold.' so, there you have it. a summer cold. that sounds kind of cool, actually.

Summer Cold. if i marry someone with the last name of Cold, i will name my daughter Summer.

omg, how fun would that last name be?!?! you could have daughters named June and January too!! June, January and Summer.

and then Summer would meet a nice, lovestruck, not-Heath Ledger-but-totally-looks-like-him, greeting card writer and they would have a 500 day romance full of ups and downs and bad karaoke.

oh wait! haha, that's the plot of (500) days of summer. my mistake.

so, Mr. Cold, if you're out there, look no further. for some reason, when i say 'Mr. Cold' i immediately picture Claire Bennet's dad in my head. good 'ol HRG. Noah. Noah Cold. hm. i wonder why that is.

i like the name Noah. i went to high school with someone named Noah Mountain. i think. because i just had the thought, "oh, you could name your son Cold Mountain." but, that's not right at all. because then your last name would have to be Mountain and the first name would be Cold. but, that would just be weird because it's a book. and a movie starring Nicole Kidman, Jude Law and Renee Zellweger. is Nat Port in that movie too? i kind of think she is. and the music was done by the guy from The White Stripes????

whoa. talk about getting off track. what were we talking about in the first place? oh yeah, my summer cold.

but, let's move on.

i started watching Veronica Mars. tv show starring Kristen Bell about a high school girl who is also a private investigator!!!! it's pretty great so far. i'm only 4 episodes in. and her best friend (played by Amanda Seyfried from Mamma Mia!) is murdered in the first episode and so i think the show will be about her trying to solve the murder, with all these littler cases along the way. well, she's not murdered in the first episode, but you find out that she's been murdered. i don't think that qualifies as a spoiler alert.

but, it's weird. Kristen Bell totally sounds like Gossip Girl on this show. and, there have been a few times where i will look away from the tv for a second, and then she will start talking and i'll think to myself, "that's weird, i wonder why she's narrating this part..." and then i'll look back at the tv and she'll just be normal talking. but, i'll think that she's narrating because she's the voice of Gossip Girl! and you never see her, you just always hear her. in case you're not familiar with the show. which you all should be because it rocks.

but, i didn't think she sounded like Gossip Girl on Heroes. probably because she was older. but, who was paying attention to her voice when she got all those hott make out scenes with Sylar?! yeah, not me. i was too busy being so totally jealous.

but, i'm really liking Veronica Mars so far. i will keep you updated for sure :)

so, i was looking through some old photographs on my laptop tonight -

wait a sec. should i have said 'pictures' instead of 'photographs?' photographs kind of implies they are actually prints. like, you're holding them in your hand. what's that word? tangible? let me google it.

(i had to erase my previous google search for, 'how to start a lingonberry farm.' it wasn't that useful anyways.)

yes! the word is tangible. i was getting it confused with the math term, tangent. which, i have no idea what that means. i could google it, but i don't think it matters. but i think it's a geometry term.

whoa, talk about getting off track much.

i think i should have said, 'pictures.' anyways, let's keep going:

- and i came across lots of pictures that i had forgotten i had!!!! i thought i would share them with you here, because apparently today is a day of sharing pictures with you. i don't think you mind, right? if you mind, please let me know.



a picture of my teal jacket that i don't remember. (and also our cat Chowder being extremely cute and sitting on Kara's lap.) but, my teal jacket. i swear to you when i say this (and i never swear, so i hate using that term, so you know it's serious), not a day goes by when i don't think about that teal jacket.

ok. we have to move on before i get too emotional. (again.)



a photo of the Airport Lounge Monitors!!!!! after we had our Airport Lounge Staff Dinner at India House in Northampton, Massachusetts.

what a gorgeous bunch of monitors we were. this was the semester i MET Kerianne!!!! fall of my third year. we only knew each other for ONE semester. then she left for Ireland in the winter. we came back in the fall and we were roommates for a whole year!!! and then this past June i was a bridesmaid in her wedding!!! in ireland!!!!

this photo was also taken when i had blonde, blonde hair. so, that's why you might not recognize me.


here's an amazing photo of the sunrise in the airport lounge. man, that's so beautiful.



DARREN. from PHANTOM PLANET.



um, how do i get my hair to look like that again? thanks. it's like sexymessy. step one: grow out bangs.



Kara as a sleeping giant in a broccoli forest of glass animals. i HAVE NO IDEA what this is about. but it made me laugh really hard.


alright, our final selection of random photos. i would like to entitle this segment,


THE SUMMER WHEN RUBY TUESDAY MADE A FRIEND










she followed that grasshopper around all day. and, all i'm gonna say is that the friendship ended badly. (RIP Grasshopper.)


ALRIGHT! it's almost 3:30am. i'm not very tired. but, i should try and get ready for bed. Sleepy Tuesday will be wanting her second supper soon.

let's just take a look at that photo of Darren one more time. mmmm. wow, there was a time when i was really, really in love with him.

oh, i want to see Phantom Planet again. remember the time when i TOUCHED ALEX'S GUITAR!?!?? yeah. i remember that too. at the show in New York. when they were supposed to play with OK GO, but Zox came instead. good show.

i just want to go to a concert. and i want ROONEY to release their BOSTON TOUR DATES like ROBERT said they would on TWITTER. maybe i'll send him a tweet. kara and i have already decided that we're going. no matter what day. no matter what time. we will be there.

ok. i just yawned. maybe that means i can go to sleep now. i don't know if i'm working 8-9am. thursday. is it thursday?? i guess we'll see.

so, the other night before bed i said to myself, "i'm hiding the remote to my ipod alarm clock so that i can't just shut it off from my bed and then go back to sleep." because, a lot of the time i'll just reach over, grab the remote, shut it off, and fall immediately to sleep.

so, i hid the remote in a far away place in my bedroom. definitely not accessible without leaving the bed.

and, i wake up the next morning and it's way past the time my alarm should have gone off. and i'm like, "crap, why didn't i wake up? i must have set it wrong." so, i'm mad at myself for not paying more attention to setting the alarm. probably setting it for PM instead of AM, ya know? we've all done that.

so, i get out of bed and what was i sleeping on? the remote for my alarm clock. i was sleeping on it. now, i HAVE NO MEMORY of getting out of bed, getting the remote, getting back into bed, shutting the alarm off, and falling back to sleep. isn't that crazy?? i DEFINITELY hid the remote the night before. it was so weird. i have no memory of getting out of bed to get it. that's the weird part.

ok. now i have to go to sleep. it's almost 4.

JULIE!!! just go to bed. i'm like, just sitting here. not even doing anything.

ok. i guess i'll go now. hope you're having a good time doing whatever you are doing. have a great day. i'll talk to you later!!!!!!

look at all these great photos you have!!!! lucky YOU!


love ya bro.


(i want to start using the term 'bro' in my daily speak. thoughts? suggestions? vote yes? vote no? eh, i don't know. let me know. k? bro. brotha. bro.)
