back from camping. alas, i am battle-scarred: 10 mosquito bites in less than 3 days. how DO i do it? =P let's tally up the little souvenirs.
- 4 on the upper back
- 1 on the right side of my midriff during the only few minutes i was putting on sunblock in my swimsuit while at the campsite
- 1 on my right index finger, resulting in the knuckle swelling to twice its normal size
- 3 at the bottom of my neck which effected this cool bitten-by-mutant-vampire-with-3-fangs look
- 1 on the side of my right leg that looks like i'm developing a massive tumor

but really, i had fun. i love the dorks that slightly qualify to be my friends ;) from playing tetris with all the supplies to wandering down a stream barefoot to david and cher being ridiculously horrible at telephone, it was a goodgood time. i probably ate more sausages and smores than anyone would deem healthy, but mmm how delicious. actually acquired some semblance to a tan when we went to the beach too. hoorah.

i still don't get you. maybe i never will.

sometimes hope is so difficult to kill, even when your mind tells you it's obviously for the best. it wriggles through the net you cast, escapes in little tatters that quietly survive and grow back together if you're not careful. and the mere presence of that hope silently influences you to not try very much at all.

"Deathly" -Aimee Mann

now that i've met you
would you object to
never seeing each other again?
'cause i can't afford to
climb aboard you
no one's got that much ego to spend

so don't work your stuff
because i've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
definitely

'cause i'm just a problem
for you to solve and
watch dissolve in the heat of your charm
but what will you do when
you run it through and
you can't get me back on the farm?

so don't work your stuff
because i've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
definitely

you're on your honor
'cause i'm a goner
and you haven't even begun
so do me a favor
if i should waver
be my savior
and get out the gun

just don't work your stuff
because i've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
definitely
