It's something close to my heart. Especially this Cause. Help Hayden Panettiere, Sign her petition for all Whales and Dolphins to roam free in water and not be killed in attempt to get food and just for killing them full stop.
Sex and the City always teach mesomething new and something to think about. Hayden Panettiere is coming to our college tomorrow to talk about the Save the Whale Again! campaign and Get Out the Vote with...about him.. Very interesting person to say the least). This campus brings in so many people with intelligent things to say. I hope I can be at the panel tomorrow. I have a lot of work to do! Much love
... a freakin' SPERM WHALE today. No shit! I was about 20 feet away from a SPERM WHALE!! It was killer. I got probably 50 pics, including 2 crummy pics of it breaching, and one really GREAT picture... etc.. It's going to be a crazy time here. And one thing we REALLY wanted to do, a sunrise hot air baloon ride, is totally out of the question. Bummer. We'll just have to come back I guess.. :-
... from Blenheim to Kaikoura today.. This was by FAR the most beautifuldrive. The first part started like all the others, hills, sheep, vineyards, etc.. But then we started driving along the coast. It's...in on the doggies. I know they appreciate it.. Dad, that's really kewl about Carlos! I'll try to call him, but we'll just be in Christchurch for one day so may not get a chance.. Loveyou guys! :-
So I was doodling in Algebra today, and I drew this in my super duper drawing*ahem* ALGEBRA notebook. Didn't even realize what I was drawing until it was done...

...bright blue Vans, and various other items. Twas fun and my mom was less stingy about expensive clothing than usual. Just got a gift on Facebook, my fluff friend got a WHALE! (-; I totally adore whales, so this was great news to me and my fluff friend, appropriately named Doctor Who. Anyway, birthday party tonight for the stepbrother. Gonna be fun. Gotta go get him a present! *forgot* So overall...
...interesting and surpringly not too controversial. We went up to 14 aft after that for more whale watching. Not long after we got there, we saw what looked like "lensing," an effect that happens when whales are bubblenet feeding. Sure enough, whales started diving in those areas! Got some excellent tail photos. Seeing humpbacks that close is just beyond amazing. The whales eventually...
