heeeeey bear. hey bear.

Today I am going to be in the land of the midnight sun and I cannot wait to get re-acquainted with Sterling, AK. Living in a city for two years now calls for desperate measures of escape into nature; and there is no better extreme than to go to the last frontier itself. So for the next two weeks I will be singing songs of Alaska's troubadour Hobo Jim while holding a fishing rod in one hand and a beer in the other. I am thrilled!!

Lesson

If you ever see a golf ball on the beach do not kick it. It will bounce off a rock and hit you in the face.

The other night Voldemort tried to crawl through my window. I had no feelings of hesitation. I did not panic or freeze. My only reaction was to shout ‘Stupefy”! After I took a moment to assess my surroundings I realized that Voldemort wasn’t in fact trying break in. What I mistook as an attack from he-who-must-not-be-named was in actuality some rain and thunder tapping on my window. The next day I told Franny about my midnight wizarding adventure and she affirmed my action. I did the right thing. If Voldemort really had been crawling through my window he would have been left stupefied due to my instinctive spell execution. The only thing I had on the line was my dignity. And I would take feeling foolish over letting Voldemort Avada Kedavra my ass any day.

Meet my new biffy

His name is Tobin Bridge. When we hang out Tobin never makes fun of my singing or dancing; in fact he encourages it. He especially loves when I bust out a great ballad. Tobin is a great listener and always affirms me. We agree on things like the benefits of time travel and the importance of hot black coffee no matter the real feel temperature predicted for the day. We both appreciate the smell of a good book. Tobin makes me excited to be going wherever I am going in that moment. He can be tricky and mischievous; but apologized big time when I got in that fender bender. It wasn’t really his fault anyways I was in a rush. Now every time I get to hang out with Tobin I appreciate each foot of the 1,525 feet of Tobin. You can see we are great friends.
