So...do you know how I move ALL the time? Well, I moved again just recently.

Hehe... I'm in Pheonix, Arizona right now.

Yeah, I know, it was a really long move. All the way from Kentucky to Arizona and I drove the whole way! It was amazing! We went through Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and we arrived in Arizona.

I think I was most impressed by Texas, New Mexico, and when we got to AZ.

Texas was this vast, almost empty place. We were in the tip, so there are just a lot of cattle fields, but these cattle fields weren't normal ones. These were huge! They stretched out on and on and on; almost forever! It really made you feel like the whole place was unsettled. That it was really the wild west all over again. It was beautiful and the flattest I've ever seen anywhere. The ground met the sky and it seemed like it could have been the ocean, it was so stretched out.

New Mexico was when you could see some things that looked a lot like canyon formations. They were these massive mountains that seemed to almost be cut into squares. They looked really impressive because the surroundings were still so flat around them. When night fell and you weren't near any cities, the sky was so dark it was lit up with billions of stars and you could see the milky way. It was the most beautiful I have ever seen the sky. We went through a city too. I'm not sure which one, but it was so huge. They had all these light skulpters up in different colors and every bridge was colored underneath with the same lights. It was a rainbow city. The walls that were used to diffuse noise had aztec pictures all over them. It was really awesome. a very beautiful city.

When we arrived in Arizona it was light out. We drove through the mountains. They aren't as green as the mountians I'm used to seeing in Virginia. They were covered in rocks and some were covered in huge cacti and all kinds of plants I've never seen before. These mountians almost look fake too. Almost like someone had painted them in the background. They are so pretty.

In Phoenix, since its a valley, the place is flat. You can still see the mountains in places, but the land closest to you is all really flat. There are cacti and palm trees everywhere. And there are rocks everywhere too. I thought there would be sand, but it isnt that kind of desert. LoL And the really rich neighborhoods have grass, but its kind of sorry looking grass. In KY, the grass is really thick and green. Here, when you see grass it is thin and hair-like.

So far it has rained 3 times...and its monsoon season. The highest temperature I've seen was 119 degrees! But it usually stays around 110 now. It is very hot. Although it is a dry heat, its almost tolerable. You have to drink a lot of water. I like it here though, it is a really, really big city. I think, it is one of the biggest I've been in.

And thats my big moving trip. Hope you enjoyed my little story!

So I tried to sell my prom dress using craigslist.org. I thought, that someone locally would get in contact with me and they could just give me cash for it and I wouldn't have to ship it out anywhere. Sounds good right? Well, everything I do in my life usually has a catch and this ws no different.....

A woman named Mary Cook contacted me and said she would love to buy the dress from me. I was very happy because she wanted my most expensive dress that I was selling for $150.

Then I found out she was from Illinios. It seemed kind of odd at the time to me, but she said she wanted to send a "shipper" to come pick it up from me. So, I figured that she was just some rich girl who could do that sort of thing when she really liked something.

The check came in yesterday and I thougth it was going to be for the amount of $150...becuase that is the price of the dress...but it was for $710 and a buisness check from LifePoint Hospitals Inc in TN and they have their bank in North Carolina at Wakovia Bank. My mom actually worked for LifePoint Hospitals once upon a time ago, and she did confirm that it was their bank. The check even had a water mark so it looked like the real thing.

When I recieved the check the woman told me to take my $150 out and send the rest of the money ($560) to her shipper through Wal-Mart...Alright, so, I'm not stupid and I knew something was deffinitely wrong with the check.

I told my bank about it this morning and they called Wakovia Bank. And I guess you can imagine what happened next....Yep, the check was a fake.

So I had to give them all the information I knew about the "Mrs. Mary Cook" whose e-mail is mmmrsmarycook@gmail.com, it is most likely a fake e-mail address and name since the first e-mail she wrote to me with was engelica.cook@yahoo.com. So, just a warning out there that if you are selling anything to a Mary Cook, Engelica Cook, or a Donna Bedwell (her shipper) don't cash the check they give you. It is a fake and you will be the one who has to pay all that money to your bank. Beware of anyone on craigslist that comes from Illinios, they should be shopping in a place closer to them.

Now, I didn't lose anything out of this. I still have my prom dress, it is still for sale, so I'm not really worried about anything. Just be careful about selling anything online to people.

So, its been a while my fine looking friends...

A lot has changed in my life...I bought a hamster who had babies and turned evil, so I found all the babies good homes and gave the mother back to the pet store (she would bite everyone), then I got a dog who has unexplained seizures... I have two jobs; one at Panera and the other at Incredipet (I just got a raise at Panera! Woot! Go ME!), I have a new car because my old one was rear-ended by a frat boy who wasn't paying attention, I cut my hair short, I sold one of my prom dresses for $150, and I bought a 55 gallon fish tank, because my 10 gallon was too small, but I am still looking for a stand to put it on (I bought it for $40 so it was a good deal).

So, thats about it in a nutshell. I know, it has been FOREVER and I have missed you all! I'll have some new work up soon. They are going to be a lot of Mordonsaged Photograms.

Today was a good day! My friend, Amanda, and I had an adventurous day. We went to good will and I bought a necklace for $2, then we ate good food at a restaurant, we bought chalk from Wal-Mart, and drew chalk drawings in an elementary school playground. It was a very, very good day and we had a lot of fun.

I'll have to put up the pictures from my day later. I drew a mormon t-rex holding a bible, saying "I have many wives" and was followed by five egg wives. LoL And Amanda drew a really awesome woman with blue hair and I wrote "Nautical Nonsense" underneath of it. Then we drew two chalk outlines of our bodies and gave them pink blood (red chalk didn't come in the box) and I wrote "The death of the Muffin Man". It was really, really funny. LoL

Haha, I don't have cancer.

God, is a funny, funny guy. Yes, he is....Had me goin for a minute.
