It is so great to be in a place where I can walk on the ground instead of layers or snow. It's been a while since I have been both near the internet and in the mood to write something here. A week or so ago, I tried to get stand by tickets to Conan's last Tonight Show. I so thought that showing up at 2 am and sleeping in line on the sidewalk would lead to success. It was even raining :(. Luckily, I came with a friend and we took shifts sleeping in the van. They gave out tickets to come back at 3 pm when I would find out if I had made it in. After that, they gave out free donuts. No one wanted to join me in chanting "Co-nuts!" Their loss. I was number 70, and unfortunately, they only let in 60 people. Such a bummer since we were there before 2 am but went to use the bathroom in a hotel first, thinking there would be no one in line at 2 am. Turns out, people started waiting at 8 pm the night before.

The next day, Chris from my anthro frat in college, took us on a great scenic hike of LA. I posted pics on my facebook. I am soooo out of shape from my couch-dwelling in Alaska, so I was hurting the next day. Which was unfortunate since we went to Disneyland with free tickets from the give a day, get a day program. Two weeks before, I volunteered with Habitat for Humanity. It was raining then too. LA has been raining so much lately. Disney was awesome. I think we went on Space Mountain like six times. And I even went on Splash Mountain, which I hate falling rides so I was so thinking of getting out of the log several times before the fall. I went during the fire works so there was no line, or anyone else on the ride. It wasn't so bad, so I went a second time.
