I'm Liking This Community Thing

August 17th,

  I lived a small glimpse of my dream today.

I slept in ti'll eleven and woke up to chocolate chip pancakes and bacon.  Thank you John.  I'm so glad I said yes to going out today or else none of this would have happened.  Me, John, Christy, and Connie went to The Breaks International Park and had such a phantasmal time.  First we went to several overlooks which were so breath taking and stunningly beautiful.  On one of these drop offs which was roughly 120 ft of sheer rock face I ledge climbed down the face about thirty feet, then across thirty, and back up a well overgrown crevice between faces.  Overall this was so beautiful.  We also hiked down a separate path to a sixty foot, rushing, natural water slide which emptied into a massive swimming hole giving aim to a twenty foot plus rope swing overhead of which we all swung off a few times. Actually my first time out I landed totally wrong and compressed my chest to the point of feeling like the pancake being slapped down by a spatula. Still this was so fun and apparently a CAP tradition.

   After burning off brunch we turned around and set a bead line for supper, located at a phenomenally good tasting restaurant called Lizzy B's.   I had a couple Sun Drops, parmesan shells in white cheddar, and the best blue cheese bacon burger ever made.  I'm not exaggerating, this was literally the best burger anyone has ever eaten.....anywhere.....ever.  My housemates encourage me to pick up the guitar..... i'm not sure if I have time, that's my only constraint because obviously I have a lot of writing to do and all that but hey,  maybe i'll try.  Not really sure right now though, maybe i'll visit that again next month.  John and I share so many interests, mostly in music, and I have to say I am so psyched! He's got great taste and we get along so well and I look forward to spending a good amount of time jazzing out with him!  This evening after all that we went to Jenny Wiley Park and cracked some sick moves (John & I) to the cupid shuffle, the chicken dance, the Holes song, and copperhead ridge.  This was a pretty bossly jazzed day and just what I needed after the week.
