younger and stupider
oh mah gawd, i just found a really old letter that i wrote and never sent (thank god) to a guy i had a crush on in the 10th grade. WOW, i was lame back then. i mean, WOW. i'm so glad i never sent this letter. my handwrtiing looked exactly the same then as it does now, which is oddly comforting. his name was Aaron Ganz and he lived half a block away

And... because you are awesome and the NZ post system is really weird sometimes, I got the DVDs and popcorn yesterday. Best. Wife. Ever. I'm saving the popcorn for when I marathon the DVDs this weekend - expect a bucket load of icons when I finish them. Sounds like Michegan was awesome - though any place that has a festival for a fruit gets my vote! And my States geography sucks but damn, it looks pretty. And yeah, I hate walking in sand dunes - they make my calves hurt and distance is freaking impossible to gauge and I just end up giving up and sliding down the things. And the last time I did that it was on black sand and I burnt my feet - *sigh* memories. And yay for sibling/family shots - but where are the photos of you? Ha?

and Michigan is up at the top near the border with Canada - it's where all the Great Lakes between the two counties are. they also have a film festival that Michael Moore runs that my step-mother and younger step-brother are working this week, quite randomly. they seem to have a lot of festivals there. there were a bunch of other caramel corns there, but most of them were hiddeous - they had one that was all cherry with caramel and it was like eating cherry-flavored Frosted Sugar Bombs, Calvin-style, if you know what i mean...i think i got you the best one :)
seriously...about the distance over dunes...i mean, a freaking mile and a half. i walk that daily at home in 20 minutes. but over sad? WTF, yo? after 20 minutes i think we might have gone, like 1/8 of a mile and we were ready to go home :) stupid dunes. the only other time we went to that dune was when i was...hmm, maybe 14 or 15 and it was a totally overcast really cool day. i remember liking it a LOT, but this time it was 72 and sunny as all hell which just makes it hotter and brighter 'cause it's SAND, yo. so yeah. not so fun.
i didn't send that package until maybe our 2nd to last day of the trip, so ...i dunno, maybe it didn't make good time. i've sent things from home here near LA to Australia that gets there in 3 days, but from middle-of-nowhere-Michigan to New Zealand must be another story.
there are no pictures of me because i take the pictures. HA! i know how to work the system. plus i'm seriously overweight right now and i don't need any more discouragemnt in the form of photos :) there used to be decent pictures of me that i was willing to post on the 'net and i'd wager there will be again someday when i've gotten back to my healthier weight and whatnot.
ANYWHOO!
enjoy that popcorn! and the S&A goodness!
