Making a wish
Something worth sharing on LJ:
I was out in my backyard, admiring Jupiter and Cygnus in the brilliantly starry night sky, when all of the sudden, in the corner of my eye, I saw a shooting star dart through the dipper part of the Big Dipper. So I started to make a wish in my head, and then I realized that being able to appreciate the vast, unfathomable universe beyond our tiny (but still awesome) planet was the greatest thing I could wish for.
Now I have Starry Night open on my PC, and I'm trying to memorize as many of the visible stars as I can before I go outside again and stare at them for as long as neck can handle the strain. It's experiences like this that make being a nerd worth it.

Yayyy mmmbento is back! This is a joyous occasion.
