I'm baaaack...

[raviahmad]

Hi all! So I survived camping quite well. We slept in a tent on the beach and had a beach fire and a pony ate some of our food on the last day! My friend Neerja and I went to Assetegue National Park, which is on one of the barrier islands along the ocean side of Chesapeake Bay. All in all, very exciting. The beach is incredible: smooth white sand and the ocean is just magnificent. Our campsite was set back a little from the beach, behind the dunes. The mesquitos were not pleasant but they pretty much leav e me alone so I was okay. Neerja was suffering. I slept pretty well but she was up most of both nights. Apparently I would wake up, be incoherent and go back to bed :) In addition to the gorgeous beach, the park is famous for its herds of wild ponies. They're a bit smaller than most horses but very cute. And they're really used to people so they have no fear. Thus the eating our food incident. See, the campsite is sourrounded by a fence but these are some very clever ponies and they often manage to open the gates and go foraging! We were loading up the car on our way out and came back to find a pony had knocked our cooler off the picnic table, opened and had begun tossing things around! He eventually went away but not before eating our After Eights (chocolates) and veggie sausages. A bottle of beer also went missing...

Post camping was taken up with hanging out and playing with Neerja's iBook. I want one so bad! They're so cool and modern and...COOL! I want one SOOOOO bad. *rubs hands together and schemes*

I did unfortunately miss SciFi Friday *shock! horror!*. I've dl'd SG-1 (Beachhead) and will watch that tomorrow. burningchaos has sucked me into Wirehog and I will download Atlantis (Trinity) when it won't take 49 hours to dl :) And I can pretty much guarrantee two weeks worth of picspam as the result :)

Cheers folks!
