tidbits from a life rarely expressed by blog lately...
Its sunday morning. I am laying in the tent, in my backyard, in my new amazing sleeping bag. Its been raining little bit by little bit for the past few hours. Big drops hitting the tarp in some irregular rhythm. I have the new Coldplay album on and the screen zipped down enough that its letting in nothing but the scent of rain. That smell mingling with the wood fire smoke and pipe smoke clinging to my clothes and hair (remnants of last night's summer solstice six hour bonfire party) is making the moment absolutely perfect.
Last night Dave brought his guitar and harmonica and diggeridoos and we sat around the fire eating and drinking and laughing and taking turns playing what we could on the diggeridoo - which for most of us, wasn't a whole lot. As the fire died down we all ended up laying on our backs in the grass, feet against the fire pit, watching the sky in silence.
On top of it all, I slept in my contacts. I've never done that before because I've always been too nervous to, but when I got these new contacts, my eye doctor said that I should have no problem sleeping in them for up to 7 nights in a row. Though I'm not sure I'll make a habit of it, I woke up and I was immediately able to see. I haven't had that since grade two.

i really would have liked to come to your party. i made a last-minute decision to drive to calgary with kelsey that evening, because this is the only weekend we'll be able to see each other all summer.
i sleep with my contacts in once in a while, and i TOTALLY know how awesome it is to wake up and be able to see everything when you've spent 15 years not being able to do that. it's the biggest advantage pointing me in the direction of laser eye surgery...
oh man. That was great. Listening to the Death and all His friends. That's weird though. I always thought that Death was a She.
