I'm doing 40 things
...and it was one of those movie-moments that only come along once in a while in life. We had just graduated high school, were feeling amazing and indestructable, so the brave ones of my friends decided to believe it wasnt going to rain that night and headed to the mountain top to camp out for the night, no tents, just blankets and a fire. We hiked the moutntain, looked at the stars, and finally realized it was going to rain. We all lay down on the rocks by the edge of the cliffs on blankets with our respective partners for the night and lay there, warm, looking at the stars and waiting for the rain. Yes, it poured. And when I say it poured…I mean it POURED…but we hid under our blankets and stared at the sky the rest of the night talking and holding eachother. A pure movie-moment.

...a few times in my life.
1. I’ve been to Niagra Falls (a long time ago) and my family took that tour where you walk underneith the falls in the rocks, and come out to this platform behind the falls and stand there and stare at all the water flowing over you in raincoats. AMAZING
2. In Hawaii on the island of Maui, my family took a horseback riding trip and our guide took us through the mountains and woods to a pond with a little waterfall and a cove behind it. he let us walk around and take pictures, swim, and explore as he lay down tarps and put together sandwiches and drinks for our lunch. we walked back to the cove, behind the waterfall and sat there and ate. So traquil and beautiful.
...and I had a good time. I did at the beach (June ‘05) with three other friends (out of the 12 or so friends that were staying together that week). It was in the middle of the day. I came in to the absinthe fun and had a decent ammount and went swimming in the pool and my sober friends who werent lucky enough to get in on that action had a good laugh at me swimming around thinking i could mold my face into anything they wanted me to, followed by the most amazing and satisfying shower of my LIFE. My other friends, unfortunatly didnt have such a good experience. They consumed far more than I did, and had not made it properly, so they went to the beach and had some nasty side effects and felt horrible for the rest of the day. Needless to day, it was fun, and funny, and i’m sure if drank again properly, it would yet agian, be a good time.
