Sum-uppage, Summer.
OptimismSo hello there, fellow deviants!
I've been having a totally super summer thus far, and I hope I've got another whole month left to go. Here are some random anecdotes and observations that I hope will give you all some idea of where I am life-wise. Or at least in my progress therapy-wise.So, first things first, I've recently returned home after a week-long vacation at the guesthouse. It's a fantastic thing being up there. It's like camping with a really, really cool tent. Kitchen, real beds, plumbing, etc. And less bugs! Well, okay, USUALLY it means less bugs, but this year I was extra tasty so I can't count that as a perk. But yeah, the plumbing is from the lake... or the well, I'm not sure, actually, but basically it amounts to: Anything liquid that might go into your body has to come from a bottle. So brushing teeth, washing dishes, ice cubes = all with bottled water. Not so bad, but if any of you have been forced (forced!) to keep toothpaste in your mouth for 7+ minutes then you'll know what I'm talking about when I say I'm glad to be home.
I honestly didn't take out the camera too much whilst we were... housecamping. Mostly I was reading indoors, since it rained a bunch. I took some on the ride there, but until I can decide whether or not to photoshop a big powerwire thing out of one or not, I'm not posting those. On the last day, and I mean that literally (we were packed and on the way home) we stopped by the beach. It wasn't particularly cold or anything, but the wind was crazy. It was the kind of strong wind that made you feel like you could be picked up and blown away. It's not particularly wonderful on its own, but it inspired this crazy, roller-coaster laughing from me which I actually enjoyed. I got some nice shots there as well - it was really beautiful.
Those are three shots of about eight I suppose. I'm not going to submit them all at once to cut message-spam. Or I'm lazy. You can make up your own mind on that one.
Anyway! Moving right along, there's some other stuff I'd like to address, and will begin doing so right now.
First of all, the August 8th, I believe, is another Toronto devmeet. It's one of the first all-ages meets I've seen, so I'm definitely considering going. Distillery district scares the ghoulish activity right out of me, though, so I'm not sure I'll make it. I might be sick that day. I might not have anyone to go with. We shall see.
Anyone planning on being there? Let me know!
Next, the opportunity has been presented to me to attend the TOorontoFC v. DC United game later in August, and I could not be more psyched to maybe get the chance go. 4srs. I'm not sure if anyone knows this about me, but I'm a big TFC fan, and although I'd have preferred to see them against Columbus, I'm not complaining. DC is great, but not too great, so I won't feel like the outcome of the game will be ruined for me before it starts. Anyway, yeah, I'm little-girl giddy about this. Any MLS fans reading this, perchance?
ETA: So that didn't pan out. But that's alright! It gives me wiggle room to purchase fun crazyfan merchandise to wear at future games.
So yeah. Also, I've bought the Next to Normal Soundtrack and it is awesome. Seriously, some OBCR musical soundtracks are like... kind of bad, since the magical shindiggery that is so heavy in the live performances is kind of lost in an audio track. This is not the case with NtN and I highly recommend it to anyone with ears. Ooh, so happy. :3
Oookay, I'm winding this down now, don't worry. (I'll probably have a bunch of ETAs here since I've forgotten a bunch of crap, I'm sure. I apologize for that now.) The last thing I want to mention is I'm turning eighteen in two months. ALMOST TO THE DAY. I'm excited and terrified, but not really because I have big-girl plans. I don't have university lined up, or a job, or anything like that. I'm scared of the plans I feel I should have made, if that makes sense. I feel kind of irresponsible? I'm not sure. I'm not jealous of people I know who are off to school or work this coming year. I'm actually feeling lucky because I can take time away from that kind of world and figure myself out. I just think there's some kind of expectation for me to grow up, and I've certainly got no plans to do that any time soon. ... Eh. Just a weird paradoxical life-related feeling, I guess.
Anyway, chin up, boobs out, etc. I'm feeling good! AND YOU ALL SHOULD BE TOO.
And if you're not, go get yourself a delicious frozen treat and email me the calories. (I'm hoping to establish a rebate system for that. I'll get back to you when it's live.)
Thanks guys.PS: If you read all of that... well. Um. I didn't really have a prize prepared... so, that was kind of a waste of your time. Sorry. D:
