Got back from camping. It was fun! Too many spiders and mosquito bites and sunburns, though. All par for the course. I have to say, camping with a girlfriend is really fun! And bonding with the Camp Out leaders was awesome. Good times. I really love the opportunities I’ve had lately to head into nature. And damn I enjoy Pine Trails. Every region ( Read more... ) -

campfire girls
I’m going camping with Hannah for the weekend. We’re heading back to the completely amazing lesbian campground that we went to for the Camp-Out. It was like a neato gay wonderland with pride flags and homos everywhere. I can’t wait! -

And they loved it ( Read more... )Hunger only for a taste of justice. Hunger only for a world of truth.
Today I’ve been thinking about how I can’t really fix the world until I fix myself. I keep feeling like I need to take off and go on some sort of journey to figure out what I want. This current path is great, but it’s also burning me out ( Read more... )2nd Annual Queer Youth Camp-Out

I’ve been back a week now but things have been so busy. I’ve just wanted to decompress, but I’ve been running around too much for that. With the heat and some health issues, I’m just so tired.
In the last month I’ve slept on two different sofa beds, a variety of air mattresses (a hidden nail on my dad’s wall kept popping them!), a bunk in a cabin ( Read more... )
