This weekend we went to Gettysburg, and it was awesome! Basically everyone that i told thought it was totally weird to go there...except levi, he thought it was pretty cool. (At least thats how i'm gonna read that expression) Anyway, we stayed in this super cute bed and breakfast called the dobbins inn. They had a authentic type dinner in the dining area, and each room was named after a war general. We stayed in the "reynolds room" which I picked over the phone based on the descriptions the lady gave me of each room over the phone. Totally office beat farm style ;)
We saw all three days worth of battle (July 1,2,3) as well as the cemetery and Abe's address's location. I"m pretty much a Gettysburg expert now.
If you were wondering who my favorite war general was its gouverner k.warren. He was the Army Engineer so I feel like we have a lot in common.
We took something like 250 pictures, so i'll post those on my flickr site eventually :)
I wish I were back in Gettysburg now, it was one of the best weekends ever.

I Confess...
I watch Gossip Girl. I realize that the show is terrible, and highly trashy, but I started watching at the first episode, and cant seem to stop .
This week I was watching real time (not tivo) so I was forced to watch the credits at the beginning and realized that the show is produced by "joshua safran". Well I think thats cool. I have no idea who it is though.
Too bad The show probably wont make it past this season.

Interesting
What does my bat mitzvah, Leonardo Dicaprio's Birthday, and the End of World War I all have in common?
Answer: they all happened on November 11th (1995, 1974, and 1918).
Clearly I like to observe one of the first two...but this year a certain history major is being a stickler for world history and insists that only one important thing happened on that day. hmph. we are going to have to work on this ;)
bears. beats...battle star galactica

voting
So I voted last night.
I left work early and used my vacation time. I feel like there should be a charge number for voting. anyway, it couldnt have been more difficult.
First my little voting card had two addresses on it, one major one with a phone number and everything, then one little one hidden in the corner under the bar code. I went to the big address first. Wrong place. Luckily they are only a block from each other.
So I walked to the right place, and I was all frustrated, and there is one lady standing out front and says "would you like a sample democrat's ballot"...Whatever. i'm so frusterated that i half heartedly take it and shove it in my pocket. I felt bad cuse she was standing in the cold and the only one there.
So I find my way to the voting room (which by signs looks like handicapped voting, but i guess it was voting for everyone) and I am THE ONLY one there besides people working. Two of them take my name, and a third shows me to the voting machine.
ok...GO!
I look down at the machine not knowing who was running for what or what anything meant, but fully prepared to vote for anyone that had a D next to their name. Well out of every category that I had to vote for guess how many people had a D next to thier names??? TWO.
But I have a sample democrat's ballot!!!
I pull it out of my pocket, and just copy exactly what they have highlighted.
DONE!
I'm never voting for a non presidential election again.

New Orleans: Weddings, Strip Clubs, and Casinos oh my
Went to New Orleans for Laurie and Will's Wedding. It was beautiful and super fancy, I was impressed just how many wine glasses were at my seat when I sat down :) Lots of dancing, and great food.
The night before the wedding we hit up bourbon street which was awesome. You might recall from my blogs in June that bourbon street has nothing but strong drinks and giant beers. Its awesome, we eventually found out way to a strip club that advertises "wash your own girl", and since our group was 3 girls and 4 boys we got out voted and had to go in. Everything was going fine till right before we were about to leave the oldest stripper i have ever seen in my entire life comes out. Swear she was like 40 or something. gross. The boys couldn't even look at the stage, it was hilarious.
After the wedding we hit up the casino (which was only across the street). By the end I was up six bucks. Awesome.
Anyway the wedding was great, the celebrations in New Orleans were awesome, and I'm sad to be back at work :(
