We are the Mighty Fighting Hawkers!!!


Yesterday was the AFL Grand Final, between the Hawthorne Hawks and the Geelong Cats. Zac and I, being life-long Hawk fans, got on our gear and headed out for some footy fun! As predicted, by only me, the Hawks became victors for the first time in 17 years! Go Hawks! The day was only dampened by Naked, quite literally, who was constantly taking his pants off and ended the game by pissing himself in the barn. ew. don't touch naked, he's covered in pee.

Rescue Diving, Hollywood, and Airport Rants!!!


I looooooove my dive gear!!!! I spent way more than i thought i would, but i so dont care because i love it so much. I got a digital dive computer (i opted out of the wireless, because it kinda weirds me out, I dont totally trust technology I guess.) And i got an awesome BCD and Regulator. Wheeee!!!

I had to rescue a 220lb guy named Luis. That was fun. So exhausting. But definately a good time. And my CPR instructor was suuuuuuuuuper hott. Total girl crush on that guy. I think i found my type!



What else?


I hate flying, and I hate baggage regulations. Why does it cost $150 for a bag that's 2lbs overwieght, and it only costs $50 for an entire second bag. 50lbs is so not enough. Arg.


I'm currently experiencing my layover in LA. I heart my schmoopy. Thanks bran for letting us play with you! We went to yogotango and got me some knock-off pinkberry (heart!) and we went to the tar pits. Zac is such a tourist and i love it. so many dorky pictures. I bought me and the boys some rock candy and now i have a tummyache. In 5 hours i will be on a 20 hour flight to my new home. And then i will be in the future. If you need to know what happens in the world 14 hours from now, i can tell you.

wheeeeee!

Do you Need to be Rescued?

In preparation for my upcoming journey around the globe, i'm taking a Rescue Diver class down in SOuth Beach. By sunday i will be able to rescue you, should you panic and faint underwater. Or if you trip and fall on the boat, i can bandage your knee. Or if you get stung by a jellyfish I can be on you. I'll be certified to do so. 

I'm also buying all my own equipment finally. I will be $12oo+ poorer, but one f-ing awesome SCUBA outfit richer! (pictures to come...) And as we all know, I'm going to be splurging on some fancy schmancy digital wrist dive computer. As long as my wallet holds out. We'll see...

In Other news, i crocheted this for Avery:
