" Box finds a ladder to the sky "
What dastardly thoughts are flying through Box's mind ? ~_^
Stay tuned to find out >__>
School Anecdotes
The Iceland Chronicles – part II
Remember how I said in my last post that we were disappointed that scheduled excursions didn't happen and got rearranged ?
Before we went on the trip we actually complained that it was too boxed into "doings and goings" ^_^;
We felt restricted from the list of activities, which was included in a pamphlet our teacher made… he was seriously *searches for word* uptight and anal ? >__>
Ah well…
Iceland has some really intriguing landscapes – it's pretty bare, the nature is raw and primal.
But all in a very "pretty" way.
(just as Princess Mononoke was a "new kind of pretty", so was Iceland ^_^ ).
I had a camera with me, unfortunately I wasn't very used to it – but it made for interesting pictures :
This was some sort of sculpture, standing outside the Keflavik Airport
The Youth Hostel we stayed at.
The arrow points to my room ^_^
  
One massive waterfall !
Each picture came out differently (color, light etc) and these were the ones I liked most =^_^=
There's not too much vegetation on Iceland – it feels like being on Mars, rocky landscapes and an eerie silence resting everywhere.
This is a Geysir… or at least it was seconds after/before I took the picture -_-'
For some reason we went to this place where they were smoking fish >_<
But beyond, was this amazing cliff area – the view was stunning !
Random picture of the landscape ^_^
Reykjavik was – and I don't mean to insult the Icelanders here – ugly… it might have been the dull weather of early spring, but the town just felt lifeless… sad and dreary.
Though we never got to experience the nightlife…save for those two boys who snuck out one night ^_^ .
You see…
We never got a curfew, a set time that we had to be in bed >__> so two guys decided to take advantage of this slip and had a night on the town.
The entire class got a bashing about this the following morning *lol*
A curfew was immediately set and our night time pleasures withdrawn ~_^
Reykjavik, right…
The town had some good points, it was easy to get around and find your way. It had some very photogenic spots of buildings and such.
The people we interacted with were friendly enough and we got really well taken care of, I think *shrugs*
I honestly want to go back some day and try my hand at capturing that special feel Iceland gives off ^_^
The End – Iceland lives on !
This one goes out to Pex, for I truly admire the fact that he works at Taco Bell *bows*
" This is the last time I eat at Taco Bell "
The Joys of Pants ~_^
Yesterday I had the great pleasure of relieving PT of his pants ^_^
I wanted to make it really special for him, but since my cold had taken quite a toll on me it only turned out semi-… ehm… special >__>
Hehe… yes…
The Pant Raid Prevails !
*does some triumphant posing and prancing about*
Take Care Everyone !
Remember that Objects and People are only as much fun as you make of them ^_^
