man this has been such a sick trip.
you know, i really thought when i first got here that hanging out with certain people was gonna be stupid. and it kinda was the first night. but since then stuff has gotten hella better. we've done some of the typical stuff.. you know, the mall, the outlets. i've bought some pretty sweet hollister shirts, and a pair of board shorts. and i bought some SWEET slip on vans. haha.. "they're the best thing that's ever happened to me." of course we've done a little swimming, a little hot tubbing. and it's HELLA hot out here, no joke.
last week we went to the beach, just me and zack. it was hella cool. we brought one of their dogs, butterbean. it was so cool because we just got some chill time up at stinson. and we got to skimboard a lot. pretty much the whole time actually. we went again yesterday (tuesday), and this time we went with like 14 people or something like that. let's see.. we had me, zack, lily, anthony, jen, cory, aaron, jason, vona, vona's boyfriend, bry, and sophia. it was hella cool. again, went skimboarding like the whole time with zack. yeah pretty much, me and zack were the best at the beach, no lie. lily got some really cool pictures. and this time i hit some huge waves. it was awesome. i swear, i think hitting a wave has to be one of the best feelings on earth. the only sad part of the trip was the beginning of the ride home. we were riding towards the overlook on Highway 1 and we started listening to "California" by Phantom Planet. then we went to the overlook and there was beach and then ocean as far as the eye could see. i'm not gonna lie, it made me a little teary-eyed. because i knew that that would be the last time i'd be seeing a real beach for a long time. it's just.. sad. you know?
now i'm kinda coming to the end of my trip. and i'm not gonna lie, i'm getting kinda sad. but i won't let the affect the way i act on this trip, or the way i act when i get back home. i haven't forgotten that i've got an amazing life. i know there was a reason for moving to alaska. but that doesn't mean that i won't miss the warm, and the sun, and the ocean. and zack. and i'm not gonna lie.. i kinda miss vanden high too. way more than i'll ever miss eagle river high when i leave.
oh haha before i go.. i got sunburnt at the beach yesterday. but not enough to where i'm gonna lose my tan. SWEET.

yeah, basically. friggin alaska. it actually warmed up today. you know what it warmed up to? 30 effin degrees! how . it's that i have to say it WARMED up to 30 degrees. whatever. it's actually really beautiful up here. and there's a lotta stuff to do. i'm not gonna go into detail because i can't be on this computer for too long. it's not mine, so i'm kinda borrowing time here. i'll go into a long post later on once i get my own computer but for now i'll just let y'all know that i'm safe, and doing ok. ok being the key term. i still really really miss everyone down there and can't wait to come visit again.
everything's gonna be ok again. eventually.

ahh, Christmastime. a time of love, laughter, get togethers, and hot tubbing. oh yeah. hot tubbing baby. that's what i'm talkin' bout.
i think the reality of moving hit me on friday. of course it did. i mean, it was the last day of school. cleaning out my locker, saying goodbye to a lot of people i won't be seeing over break, that kind of thing. it's amazing how little things like that can help you realize so much. so of course when i got home i was in like the worst mood in the world. whatever. it was ok though.. my family and i went out to eat and then went to see The Chronicles of Narnia. and to my surprise, it was extremely good. so now i'm reading the book like the loser i am.
then saturday was Christmas Eve. yeah.
Christmas Dayyyyyy. that was pretty friggin' sweet. got my iPod, a bunch of cologne, 100 bucks from my grandpa, and a bunch of gift cards. so i racked up this year. not too bad if i do say so myself. anyway, later on zack came and picked me up to go out to the ranch. that place is AWESOME. no joke. (this is where the hot tubbing comes into play). haha no but seriously, it was so fun. me and zack rocked out on the guitar and drum, we had a big dinner, played air hockey, and chilled in the hot tub. it was probably one of the best Christmases (how the heck are you supposed to spell that?) that i've had. and it really didn't even feel like Christmas. like i wasn't all crazy psyched up like i normally am. maybe that's what happens with Christmas as you get older. or maybe it's just the circumstances.
well after putting songs on iPods till like 3 AM, i wasn't too happy about getting up at 11. but it's all good because ms. susie *the coolest ever* made us a fantastic breakfast. then later on sarah and joanna came over and we went to murillo's. that was cool i guess. nothin' too special.
i love my iPod.
and the boycott is still on. anyone want to join?

this is such a weird week. like i know i'm moving, and i know this is my last week at vanden, but it doesn't even feel like it. it doesn't feel like Christmas is almost here, it doesn't feel like my mom's coming home, and it certainly doesn't feel like i'll be in alaska in about 2 1/2 weeks. ew, i don't even wanna think about that.
i have to say though, i've been making my time here worthwhile. i can't go too in-depth with all that's been going on, but i'm glad i'm making the most of my time while i'm here. hanging out with sarah, zack, the usual. well, not the usual. ahh i need to talk about this somewhere else.
all i have to say is that school is gay because they are giving us the most homework we've gotten all year, and it's my last week. also, i think the reality of moving is slowly settling into my system and i'm panicking, realizing there's only so little time left.
i'm still boycotting.

"chris, are you drunk..?"
ummm.. no i'm not actually. i just like to get hyphy like no tomorrow. cuh.
this week was pretty interesting i have to say. what with getting all my stuff for winter ball, hanging out with sarah, joanna, and zack, and other stuff. i'm glad time is passing like it is though.. at least i'm creating memories. gosh i don't wanna move.
anyway, i won't go into detail about the week. but last night was awesome. winter ball, sucka. shoot, i didn't think it would be nearly that fun. i wasn't expecting much, maybe because it only cost 10 dollars. i dunno, but it was a blast. i was dancing like crazy and just having fun. the pre-dance thing at anthony's was fun too. even though zack got LUCKY with those two pool games. that's the only reason he beat me, because otherwise i would've scraped him. yeah so after taking pictures and feeling like i was a celebrity running from the paparazzi or something, we all headed over to the dance. when emma and i got back from taking pictures, we started dancing. at first i was just like ummm.. yeah. but then after i realized that hardly anyone will remember how i dance (except maybe all my friends i was there with) on monday, i was like shoot. i was giggin' out here like crazy. and me, zack, brandon, and lily rocked the avi's. i dunno how to explain it, but last night was one of the funnest times i've had in a long time. and i'm really glad that i got to do this and didn't miss out like last year.hope everyone else had a blast. there is one extra thing, though, that would've made the night perfect. i'll leave you to your imagination on that one.
then today me and sarah hung out a little while. haha too bad we've been hanging out like all week. shoot.. anyway. after we hung out, i went to round table for the cross country banquet. the last vanden cross country get together i'll ever have. that's pretty saddening. it was fun though. we laughed it up just like old times. old times, ha. i'm acting like the season was 5 years ago. it feels like it. anyway, i won the coach's award because i guess i'm the epitome of the type of runner that he'd like to have..? something like that. oh and i had to give a speech since i'm leaving. umm.. yeah.
i'm boycotting moving.
