hepa-hupa

it finally snowed today! quite a lot of snow fell, actually. i think it's about 7 or 8 inches. it's seems so strange that seattle and brunswick are pretty much at the same latitude, and yet the weather can be so different. anywho, the snow made me really happy.

overall today was a beautiful day. i woke up early so i could bake stuff for a fundraiser some of my friends were doing to raise money to go to peru. if i decide to have a bakery/bookstore, i don't think i would be half unhappy. :) i went to boho to read/wake up, then euchre with lovely people. only bad thing was that about half way through euchre i started feeling nauseated. i don't know what's wrong with me, but it keeps happening and is rather disconcerting. hmm. but otherwise it was a fun friday morning.

i guess i'm sort of in a blech mood right now - for one thing i'm working on a paper that has been the bane of my existence for several weeks now. i'm just not happy with it. i've also been in a bit of a bad mood recently because my whole family seems to be done with everything and off enjoying themselves in europe. i'm bitter that bowdoin holds us here so long. i keep getting happy emails of "arrived safely, doing this and doing that in blah blah blah". under usual flavi-circumstances i'd be elated to hear that everyone is so happy, but for some reason i'm the scrooge. or maybe i'm just in a bit of a marvin mood. who knows.

i guess in life i'm too passive. i don't want to step on anyone's toes. i like happy people and i'm generally happy. tonight at 9pm i feel like i'm the anti-flav. too bad.

as an explantion of the title and picture, my mum always says "where there's a hepa there's a hupa" which is pretty much the equivalent of where there's an up, there's a down. i guess the best way to proceed through those not-so-fun hupa times is to just be positive and look forward. or i could just keep saying hepa-hupa in my head. it's making me pretty happy right now. :) the picture is the olympic mountains in the winter from http://www.nps.gov/olym/wic/gallery.htm ... pretty good example of hepa-hupa eh?

11:11pm addition. bork bork. i just came back from an extended mental break excursion to the cafe with dawn. made me soo happy. i love mental breaks... and dawn :)
