random thoughts

Well, I don't really have an idea about what to write, but I feel like writing something. As I was looking at my friend Grace's blog and seeing all the comments that she gets from various friends, it has occurred to me that I am very slowly and quite selectively going about the process of giving out my link. I think I feel like some of my freedom will be gone, and I will have to sensor things a bit more if I do something wild like attaching the link to an email signature. Also, I don't necessarily like the thought of people I'm not so sure about knowing what I am doing and thinking about. Anyhow, I have decided that a major part of this blog will be dedicated to updating my soon to be even more scattered siblings.

Today my brothers and I went to Magic Mountain. We tackled the two-hour long wait for "X" first, and I have to say, it was a pretty thrilling 90 seconds, or whatever it was. I have to say, my favorites of the day were Goliath and Batman. The good ol' Log Jammer was pretty entertaining too. My head still aches a bit from all the twists and turns. On the way home, we tackled a dessert calzone at the Claim Jumper, conveniently located five minutes from the park. Yum, yum, yum. Some thoroughly unregretable indulging.

Well, the temperature is picking up, and next week I have finals. The hills are already yellow in some spots and I just said goodbye to my first class of children. It is very nearly summer. Time for reading, and maybe a couple long weekend camping trips before the heat really sets in. I'm excited to be more self-directed and to have regular time for yoga and hiking again. And to cut my hair even shorter.

Anyone interested in a backbacking trip in June?
