They say your biggest fear is yourself....and that is most definitely the case with this little lady.

Meet Rae. Washington native, ballerina, and soon-to-be cardiac nurse. On October 18, this woman is breaking the heart of every Seattle bachelor and leaving behind many good girl friends for the "great" state of Arkansas.  Weekly Monster Dogs (okay bi-weekly) on our way home for our favorite bars, stealing children's bicycles (okay that might have just been me), eating Ezell's chicken on the roof, and exploring the beautiful city of Seattle are just a few of our great times this summer. One of my favorite memories of Raelynn involves parking out side of Ezell's Chicken (duh) and her spotting a crow before she got out of the car. She seriously said "that crow is after me" or something equally deranged.

Figuring out the animal spirit of someone I have many memories with was actually extremely difficult. After pliẻ-ing around my apartment for 3 hours, eating five orders or Ezells coleslaw, chugging 4 gallons of pink panty droppers, and watching Alfred Hitchcock's "the Birds" until I peed myself out of tear I knew. Raelynn is a crow. She is completely terrified of crows, which makes the fact that she is a crow hilariously ironic. She's lucky that her friends aren't scared of crows too. 

Congrats RAELYNN! I hope you have an amazing experience in Ar-Kansas. I know you're going to do well at whatever you do. Just please don't marry a Clinton, your cousin or this weatherman.

XOXO, the deer that likes crows.

This is Frankie Fern, Frances-bean, Franklin, Franks or just Frankie. As a fellow Western alum (go Viks!), Vampire Diaries fan, and Capitol Hill-ster we have gotten to know each other pretty well. Over the summer we have made too many good memories. Did you know she likes the "gap?"...she's so cute when shes's uncomfortable! And she's like the sweetest girl in the world. Did I mention that she shares her birthday with Just Gus Harrington. Must be something about people born on August 2...

Anyways, lets get to the animal spirit. I drank 4 bottles of Jack Daniels. Shortly there after I spent 3 hours saying things very exasperated, then i went to a restaurant and had a random girl call me a "walk of shame." After I felt completely embarrassed about my outfit repeat and drove around in a clown car for 5 days I knew.

Frances is Patches. He was my favorite stuffed animal as a little girl. His name is actually Patrick, but I grew up pronouncing words like a complete idiot and Patrick became Patches. Yes I know he's a stuffed animal but I always pretended he was a cute little puppy with big floppy ears when I was little. So...Patches is technically an imaginary pet. But that's not the point. He's the cutest little pup and always has a friendly smile on his face, just like Frankie Fern. Frankie is Patches.

Meet Lisa, soon to be Mrs. K.Y., Seattle nurse and "vegetarian." Although, we met at WWU, we have recently gotten to know each other well. Usually involving panty droppers--ahem "pink party punch," roof tops, bacon and hot dogs. She is a UW Nursing School graduate who delivers babies by day, and dances around the streets of Seattle by night. When she's not doing that she's probably making wedding crafts while her betrothed hangs out in his "game" chair. 

Lisa is definitely a bird. Originally I thought probably some type of black swan . I also had visions of "i'm a bird! say i'm a bird!" This picture was chosen due to the amount of pure joy it brings me.

I may have been a little late on all of these....better late than never.

This is Lauren (Carolyn's sister) and sometimes she forgets to shave her mustache. From what I know about this "character," she's a smart marketing guru who loves Disneyland and Korean Karaoke. I'm really hoping she doesn't hum songs all the time or say "here's the thing" because we really don't need two of "them."

Hopefully I still have a place to stay when I visit california after this.....

This picture was too perfect. I had to do it. I will post more "accurate" spirit animals later.

From Left to Right:

Raelynn is a new friend. In the short time that we have known each other we have bonded over our mutual love of the pink panty dropper, making vegetarians eat bacon, and my "allergies." I really don't know why she still talks to me.

Alexis is original stack 8 crew 4 lyfe. Between sharing a bathroom with a crazy person, getting crazy, going to vegas and sharing plates of Shanghai Garden (many MANY times) we've been through a lot. It's been an interesting 4+ years.

Rachel is also original stack 8 crew 4 lyfe. My first college roommate (and second and fourth...)! She loves a good Hebrew National hot dog (as do I) and shot of whiskey (klondike please?). She also eats like a 5-year-old, but it brings my taste buds back to a simpler time.

Another honorary-birthday-celebrity on my blog! This is Miss. Carolyn who is celebrating her 23rd birthday today. Last spring I went on Vegas trip for Memorial Day weekend. Some people go to Vegas and bring home diseases. I bring home friends. We were fast friends, bonding over my physical ailments from inadequate make-up removal, verbal altercations with some sloozies at the pool, and fishing with gold sequins. Needless to say, it was a very eventful trip. 

Since Vegas I have gotten to the who this "Carolyn" character really is. She is probably the slowest person in the entire world. She dances like shes on some type of exercise machine. She makes salads out of pez candies. She drives a car that you can hear miles away (it also doesn't have a ceiling). She wears a stupid jumpin' jammer to bed. She has some weird obsession with pears, on her pizzas and salads. AND she thinks french press coffee with caramel sauce and creamer is the same thing as a caramel macchiato (it isn't).  But for some odd reason, she has become one of my closest friends and I love her very much.

After spending hours reminiscing on our Vegas trip, eating 12 packs of pez candy (from 3 different dispensers), and dancing like a fool, I figured out what should have been obvious. Carolyn's animal spirit is a big fat cat.
