More new things!
To add to the list of new things I've done:
- Freecamped.
-->We camped on a small island in a stream. The stream had falls in places and a trail along the stream and you're supposed to pay to get in but we found a way in without paying in the middle of the path. We had a lovely fire. There was easy-to-burn dead wood nearby.
- Went topless in public
--> I did do this once before in Cambridge after swimming but wasn't that close to people and played frisbee. This time Ian and I sat topless on a rock in the stream while people walked by high up on the trail. Then we walked on the trail, both of us topless. I only got negative comments that I could hear from one woman. "What about those children over there? Why don't you put them away?" Uh, breasts are not sexual to children!! Breasts will not corrupt children's minds. They probably drank from them at some point.
- Decided I will eat meat IF it's free and would've been thrown out anyway
--> I don't have moral/religious reasons for not eating animals and I hate waste. Ian and I went for a bike ride at night and on the way back we checked the dumpter behind a grocery store near his house. We found pastries with meat in them and other sandwiches with meat. We also found broccoli better than some broccoli I've seen sold in stores, a million carrots, and a ton of bread. We also found hummous and milk! We ate so much free food this weekend!
- Picked up a lot of litter
--> This is not completely new but I haven't done this in a long time. I realized I've been an apathetic person who doesn't litter but doesn't pick up other people's litter. Yeah, it would be nice if people just didn't litter in the first place. It's amazing how many people go to walk along a beautiful trail, in nature, and can't take their garbage home. We picked up two plastic bags worth of bottles along the trail, brought it to the manager of the the trail and complained that they should hire someone to do this more often. He said they hire someone to do this twice a week but Ian was there a week ago and saw some garbage that was there a week ago. In the future, I plan to pick up rubbish more often to make environments nicer for people.
