I am so glad it's Friday that I can't even express it. The past seven days have been largely great--well, except for the part where I've had zero energy and snot coming out of my face for the majority of it ( Read more... )

SO MUCH TO DO TODAY. And yesterday, and the day before. Waaauuugh.

Last weekend was awesome, though. I got to see one of my awesome friends (monkeyhole) propose to another of my awesome friends (sarapada), eat french toast and bacon in the woods, and go hiking and take cool nature photos. We also rescued a cute little bunny from the pit of the outhouse at the ( Read more... )

I have a ton more things to get done before I go, but, PSA: I'm going camping! Cell phone service will be sketchy.

Back in town Sunday late-afternoon, but I'll be at practice and the league meeting until night.

SO looking forward to this. Hiking! And reading! And marshmallows and stuff!

This may seem like a small thing to a lot of people, but I can proudly say that I have successfully followed my instincts and managed to make Actual Sense out of my feelings on a very confusing issue. And! I'm also responding to it in a sane, direct, and responsible manner. Now, it's a matter of waiting, and hoping that the outcome proves my inner ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to do some photo spam, but, well, time has been getting away from me far too easily, as of late. But, no more! IT IS TIME.

So, yes. Hood Canal was much fun, and all of our antics are on Facebook already, but here are some of the pretty and/or interesting favorites that do not involve people:

Camping weekend was good. It was kind of a blur, but I'm sure that's in large part due to the madness of Friday, and also due to sleeping rather fitfully. Sleeping on the ground is, uh, less-than-comfortable when you're a side-sleeper, and tends to result in limbs falling asleep more frequently that most of us would like. But hey, STILL WORTH IT.

OH MY GOD. Today started off completely on the wrong foot from the moment I woke up, and basically nothing has gone according to plan. Half the things I wanted to get done today are not done. This day can't end soon enough ( Read more... )

Hey dudes. It occurs to me that, in preparation for the Hood Canal trip, I should stop procrastinating and actually buy my own tent. But, since I only really need a single-occupancy tent, I'd also like to kill two birds with one stone by getting a tent that I could use for backpacking at a later date ( Read more... )

Holy balls. I climbed Mt. Taishan today, and it was HARD. I'd never have thought to do it, if Sifu hadn't suggested it, but on the other hand, I did make the decision to actually climb the stone steps, instead of taking it easy and riding the cable car. I feel pretty awesome for making it up the whole thing and not quitting, even as my knees and ( Read more... )

A Dr. Zoidberg moment seemed appropriate today, seeing as I'm currently rather lobster-colored ( Read more... )
