I camped in Malibu. The only thing separating me and the beach was PCH. Did some hiking, some swimming, lots of barbecuing and tons of relaxing. It was entirely successful :)

I’ve dyed my hair before, but never red. Starting around January I started doing red. It’s never a super bright red, more of a red/auburn, but I like it that way.
I think red is underrated and more people need to appreciate it :)

I donated plasma over the summer. It only took about an hour for me, the Red Cross I went to was next to empty with only one other guy there, and two nurses. I got to watch a movie and eat cookies and drink juice afterwards.
I left with that huuuuuuge bruise on my arm. Seriously, it was so big. That picture was right after (you can still see the bandaid lines) and it just got bigger and darker and even more gross. And it didn’t go away for about a month.
I also didn’t get paid. What the heck, how is everyone else getting paid? I thought they stopped paying people for blood and such these days?
Despite getting no money, a huge bruise, and incessant calls from the Red Cross for more donations, I liked it. I like giving blood, it makes me feel useful. Plasma is good too.
