I thought what with just having my 1 year (marriage) anniversary (2 years together!) on August 7th, I should post a little something. No, I’m not really “off” hiatus but just giving (those of you who don’t read my personal LJ) a little update.
First off, apparently it’s a “tradition” to save the top tier of your wedding cake, freeze it, and eat it a year later. Who knew? As I didn’t have a wedding but a party/ reception nearly 2 months later, I wasn’t sure if we should save it until then or just eat it on our anniversary. Turns out NEITHER! My mom had us eat it the day before 
Here’s 2 pictures for you of the cake!
We, in fact, didn’t finish it until last night
In other news? Nothing! Andy starts uni at George Mason University with a major in Chemistry & a minor in Native American Studies (so related, huh? 
) the first week in September. I’m still searching for a job- have been since November 2008! My hours are dwindling and with a 30% decrease in business since last year, I’m wondering if I’ll even have a job come season end in October (I work for a guy who owns a bunch of food- related businesses) 
So, that’s about it! I’ve gotten loads of film processed so keep an eye on my Flickr 
I am not a person who goes out there and is terribly vocal about what I believe in. I’m not big into confrontations and maybe that’s why. Here, though, is something I do believe in. And with vehemence. Gay rights. I shouldn’t just say “Gay rights” though. These rights, which I believe are general human rights expand the entire community of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people.
Right now, I feel like we’re on the brink of something. At the turn of the (last) century, people were fighting for women’s right to vote. Then there was the fight to gain the right to vote for black people. Now, we’re trying to extend the right to marriage to all peoples. Not just those that happen to want to marry someone of the opposite gender. I mean, who decided that marriage should only be for straight people? Also, who cares? Why is it anyone else business who marries who? Does it hurt you in any way if a same sex couple marries? No. Just because it makes some people uncomfortable (which is sad but that’s a person’s right to be comfortable or uncomfortable with whatever) doesn’t give them the right to dictate whether or not they can marry.
What’s my reason and point? Well, on Facebook there is a group asking people to basically boycott everything for a day. If you don’t have Facebook, just look below the cut for more info! I really hope you join in because, really, there’s just no excuse.

This post is going to be rather image- heavy. First I’ll post pictures from my trip to the Japanese store. There’s no way I’m scanning the magazines in their entirety, so there’s only covers with little blurbs. I did, however, scan the pictures of 木村カエラ for my LiveJournal community for her.
On Monday I went by the camera store to see where my film was and it turned out they had never sent it! So, it’ll be yet another 2 weeks before I see those rolls. 
So, for now you’ll have to suffice with loads pictures of kittens and hills from the 35mm rolls.
