What kind of Pirate are Ye?

Ok so I cannot take the credit for finding this, because my friend Rebecca did but you all need to take it! It is hysterical and frighteningly accurate! Also tell me what type of Pirate you are. It is only like 7 or 8 questions.

TAKE THE QUIZ!

This is me.. I think it is a remarkable resemblance ;)

Now taking applications

Well, I have an open slot in my television viewing schedule now that my beloved Alias is no more. Any suggestions as to what I should fill the void with? And don't answer with "Jesus" all you little Bible Schoolers! I know I commented about Alias' Finale on Janice's and Josh's blogs, but I felt I should give a little tribute to it here. Hey! Marisa gave one to that girl from the OC (Misha Barton?). I will not give anything away if you have not seen the last Alias yet, but I liked it. Well most of it. There was one of the three deaths that I was really not happy with, but I was very pleased with what happened to Sloane! Overall it was a good time for it to end, this season was kind of weak.

I have a confession to make to Janice and Josh... I had already replaced my need of espionage when Alias failed to deliver with... 24. What a good show!!! Did anyone else watch it this season? Jack Bower Rocks! In a different kind of way than Sydney. Still what a cool guy!

One more thing. I got my plane tickets to California Today for Jon and Marisa's Wedding, who else is going and where are you staying?

Your ad goes here!

So here I am once again, avoiding homework. I thought these pictures were really cool so enjoy. Well the first one anyway, the second one is kind of sad, who has felt like that before?, hands? ... Just me... ok I figured as much. Anyway, not much new with me. I am starting running again and I have found a new marathon training buddy, so I am hopefully back on track with that. I can't remember if I told you all or not that my last group bailed on me. hmmm imagine people not wanting to force themselves to run 26.2 miles... (I know it is hard for you to fathom Jill, but there are people out there who do not like to run like we do) But this guy is an ex-marine and is training for a triathlon right now, so needless to say he is dedicated. I have seven weeks to get myself back up to ten to twelve miles and I will start training with him. Well I do really need to stop avoiding the inevitable and do my French homework now. Talk to you soon , Je vous aime.

The Weekend Update with Danny

I had the greatest weekend. To begin on Friday, my friend Rebecca and I went out and got a few beers and a bite to eat. That was good. Then on Saturday I filmed the most awesome commercial. I had a really big part in it too. For all of you in Oregon and Washington you will get to see it, oh probably part of Idaho too. It will start airing in a few weeks. It was a spot for Columbia Credit Union. There were four spots (different commercials) filmed over the weekend I was in one of them. The whole concept of this one that banking is more than just the re-enactment of the fall of the Ming Dynasty during lunch break. hahah it is hysterical! I am the customer in the line waiting to be helped and all of a sudden these bank employees dressed as warriors come running in from all directions and start fighting with obviously foam swords and cheesy oriental costumes. I am the only one in line and you see me turn around in shock and horror at what is going on as all of this fighting is happening around me. HAHAH it was awesome. I guess the best part was that I got to do it with my family. Four of my cousins were in it too. Two of them were tellers behind the counter shooting arrows at people. One was a customer being helped and another was a random warrior. My cousins husband was the creative genius behind these spots. He works for the ad agency that produced these so he got me the gig. Its all about who you know. I did not get paid, but I had a more featured part than some of the paid actors. So I thought that was pretty cool! Two of the other commercials were dragon boat jousting, and one where hippies were secretly planting a forest of bamboo and running from the forest ranger. What a great time. I will try and post it on here so you can see it (can I do that does anyone know how to post a video on the blog?) I don't have it yet, it will be a while before I get a copy.
Oh the weekend is not over. On Sunday I got up early and with some the cast of a skit I am in at Church in a service coming up in two weeks we went down town Portland and fed breakfast to the homeless for two hours. It was so amazing and really good food too. We went and helped this organization which is out of some seventh day adventist church who does this every Sunday morning in O'bryant square just north of the Park Blocks from 8 to 10. There were five grills going and we made french toast and hash browns for between 500 and 1000 people. All the food and supplies are donated by Albertsons. I do have to say that I am a french toast master. It was so cool there was so much food to give to these people and really good food too. Sometimes the food given to them from other organizations is crap. Anyway it was a great experience. Well, i am off to bed. Ya'll come back now, hear?

P.S Awesome quote I heard this weekend from church "Serving others is not just showing God's love, it is showing God love." There is a little nugget I thought was neat.

Not Much Happening

So there is not a whole lot new going on. I just wanted to post to let you all know I am still alive and functioning. Lets see... My car went back into the shop yesterday... I swear it loves that place. Anyway long story short, the new water pump was too big and it threw the alternator belt. So my car over heated in like five minutes to where my radiator fluid was boiling... last I checked not a good sign. Anyway so this was just a fluke they stuck a new one on today that was 1/4 of an inch shorter and it fit perfect and everything works. Plus this was all covered under warranty !!! so it was free!!! I love those mechanics down there they are so good to me. So Angie rides again.
In other world news I do have a prayer request. I have decided to join my college bible study group in their missions/ work relief trip to the south this summer. Yes I am going to be in Alabama the second week of August, I think I might die. If the humidity does not kill me I'm sure the swamp snakes will. I am going to help with the rebuilding process which is still underway after Katrina. They say it will probably take years to complete and some places that are below sea level will not even be bothered with. So with my limited skill (and by limited I mean none) I will be gutting a house for a week. I also have to raise 1000.00 in support for me to go to cover airfare, food, and supplies. So if you could pray for that too, I would appreciate it because I have none of it.
Well I am off to a study group tonight for my midterm tomorrow in the fundamentals of Financial Accounting (yes the class is as AWESOME!!!! as it sounds!!!...... sarcasm if you cannot tell) Anyway, I'll talk to you all later.
