Most of you know by now that as of this Friday, I will no longer be with iFLOOR. I am going to school for computer science. I am planning to start at BCC (Bellevue Community College) and then transferring to University of Washington.
Along the way, I’ll be doing a lot of math, and eating a lot of Top Ramen. In the picture, you see me clutching my first case of Top Ramen. The next four years are going to be full of starving…
Dennis and I got lucky enough to get unexpected seats at the Seahawks first postseason game this year, and it was amazing!
I’ve been to other Seahawks games before, and they are always loud. Really loud. But the noise level this time was enough to make anybody go deaf. Every time we thought it could get no louder, an amazing play would push the cacophony to a new level. The loudest point during the game was in 4th quarter when Marcus Trufant, a pro-bowl Seattle defender, intercepted a Redskin pass and ran for a 78-yard touchdown! After the noise level came down (a little), then complete strangers in the audience were giving each other hugs! Everybody– men, women, children– everybody was high-fiving and hugging the next closest fan.
And, I’m sure it goes without saying, but NOBODY sat down the entire game. Seattle fans don’t just go to the game for fun, they go to work! Every time the enemy offense came onto the field, everybody stopped what they were doing (eating, drinking, talking) to make as much noise as possible. When there’s as much noise as the Seattle fans created, it causes the bad guys to make mistakes because they literally can’t hear what plays are being called, or when the football has been hiked! The result was that Seattle kept their #1 spot for play-timing penalties (like false starts, and delays of game) in the NFL. They would show the Redskins’ quarterback on camera whenever we were making noise, and you could easily SEE the frustration all over his face! At one point, he attempted to call a timeout (because of how loud it was), but his team couldn’t hear him, so they hiked the ball, and it bounced off of him because he wasn’t ready!
It was an amazing experience! Dennis and I even got 12th man (that’s the name of Seattle fans– the “12th man” on the field) makeovers, getting lots of new Seahawks swag. Here’s some of my favorite pics from the game.
Take a look at the pictures of the cheerleaders. I took that on the way to get some soda, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get such a close shot. (I WISH I HAD MY GOOD CAMERA!) Anyway, I was grinning like an idiot, and they were looking right at me and just smiling right back. That was really fun!
Watching that video, I realized that we were missing! We thought of everyone on Christmas and miss you all.
I don’t know how to put this, so I’ll just be blunt: Cris eats ice cream with fries. Yes– that is fries dipped in ice cream. I-C-E C-R-E-A-M.
You want to know why she does this? She thinks it tastes good. It reminds her of “Halo halo” (“mix mix” in English)– which is ice cream with beans, fruit, and other nonsense.
This reminds me of my roommate Fraz trying ice cream with ketchup because he likes the flavor of each of them individually. What is the world coming to?
Yep, I took this picture because I was actually driving in it. Here’s the story.
Dennis got an iPhone (his “precious”). That was how it started.
It started off innocently enough. Cris, being the good “people” that she is, decided to upgrade Dennis’ phone for his birthday. Now, we all want to harness the power of the “internets”, but this thing… it has great and terrible powers!
Dennis is not what I would consider a “power browser”, but no sooner than the device was in his hands, his thirst for surfing, online videos, and email became insatiable. The device has different effects on everybody, but Dennis became white and nerdy.
It took me just one cursed glance… and I saw the vision. A bone-chilling vision, seen through the eyes of a madman genius who has just broken the bonds of hell to enslave us all for eternity.
I come as His emissary. Fear not– come unto the fold now, and you will know rewards never before dreamed of! Throw down your false idols and embrace His eternal grace. He has arrived.

Val gave me these pictures to upload, but I never check my mail, so I'm about a month late (and I've just changed the timestamp of this post!)
