So, I have returned from my not-quite-epic-but-still-pretty-neat camping trip in the Smokies.
Heres the highlights:
- The weather was awesome. 89 in the day, and at one point, 53 at night. I wore jeans.
- We camped at the highest possible campsite, Balsam Point.
- Its the off season, being as the busiest time is the time of the leaf peepers, so there was next to no one there.
- Our campsite had flush toilets
- I really, really, really like the mountains
- We climbed a waterfall (illegally). I only fell once, but dammit, did it hurt.
- We took a backroads nature trail down the mountain twice, and it was sincerely pretty
- The sibs made dinner bells in a blacksmith workshop
- We picked something like four pounds of mountain blackberries and took them home with us (illegally)
- Sometime during the blackberry picking, we realized that the berries hanging off of a tree that looked a lot like blueberries were, in fact, blueberries. We picked enough for blueberry muffins.
- My internal clock actually resembles day/night time scheduales.
- People in Atlanta do not drive the speed limit. It is either bumper-to-bumper standstills or the Daytona 500.
Thats about it.
Passed Georgia Tech on my way home, and waved at Rie. Got a call from Jared while at a rest stop somewhere outside of Quit-something-or-another, so sometime today we're gonna do something. I have plans for seeing Iron Man again (for the 4th time, I think), so that could be us. Hope I have gas...
I leave for UWF in four days, and still have a bunch of packing to do. I'm not actually nervous about living away from home (for reasons that should be fsirly obvious). I'm to the point where I dislike my family without discrimination.
Its raining out, my allergies are merciless, and I have laundry.
Status: Putting alla that shit off in favor of porn, because its turning out to be that kind of day.
