Too many thoughts all at once to possibly collect them, but I can say that I am beyond happy, but also sad because it has been so long since I saw him last.
I just don't know what to think.

This blog added me as a friend on facebook (Can blogs do that?!)
And that gem led me to this gem:

If I wasn't so busy at work today, I would have read everything on both of these.
You will probably like them just as much as I did.
Mom, you might not think they're as funny. I know you read this, so you might not want to bother with them. LOVE YOU!

What a Perfect Day Off from Work Consists of:
Visitors-Jill Boyce
Meeting new people-Angie
Get-togethers galore
An entire day at the beach with the sun shining brightly and warmly (A rarity here in Tofino)
Hot Dogs, marshmallows, mangoes, corn, ketchup and mustard
My very own personal surf instructor (Todd)
Put it all together and you get a great day to try surfing for the first time for a very wary and unsure customer (even though I wasn't buying anything).
Now let me just tell it to you straight. I went into that skin tight wetsuit thinking "I'll put this on and get in that water just this once. I'll show them that I'm not a pussy, and everyone can stop bugging me about this". I was basically trying surfing just to prove something. I've been doing this a lot lately. Not even just lately. All the time. And for a long time I've been doing it. I need to learn to let go of a lot of things. I need to learn to get over myself. I think the fact that I'm saying this and typing it means I am well on my way.
So, even with thinking all of these negative things about trying surfing, I am sitting here the next day at work, aching bones (REALLY ACCCCHHHHING), and I just wish I was out surfing again. And believe it or not, I wasn't too bad, I don't think. I got up on my board several times, but alas, the feeling was so amazing, I just started laughing hysterically. I laughed so hard and so fully that I teetered and fell right off that board. It's hard to have a hearty laugh AND balance on rushing water at the same time.
It was so great, being out in the water with a great group of people. We were all varying degrees of surf ability and we all egged each other on. We yelled when to start paddling your brains out, yelled at each other when we were about to bowl each other over. It was the greatest sense of teamwork and comradity that I have experienced since, well, since I was in a bowling league tournament. It's been awhile.
Now, for some unrelated pictures form the redneck themed party, stolen from my roommates girlfriend, Rebecca.
Please see July 8th post for a little bit of a foreword.
Out on Kennedy Lake, following the craziest, longest, most hugely potholed road.
Todd's boss, Paul
"Now just let my stick this in your tushie..."
Doesn't exactly look like the safest thing, now does it?

Before coming out here, I imagined this place a certain way.
In my head, I pictured bonfires every night, on the beach, bum planted firmly in sand, cheap wiener on the end of a sharpened stick. Tummy aches nightly from too many burnt marshmallows. Sand in my shoes, purse, underoos, hair....eyebrows? I pictured myself healthier, stronger, full of life. Ready to take on things. Oh my, thinking about it did seem very magical. Very otherworldly, something I had always wished of every summer, but was never fully satisfied.
Well now that I'm here in Tofino, I can safely say I am satisfied. A bit "over-satisfied", shall we say.
I'm sick of cheap wieners. Sick of bellyaches, sick of sand EVERYWHERE. Not just on me. Sand stuck in the pages of my books, in the bed sheets, SAND IN MY EYEBROWS. Sick of hiking rainforest trails to get to "secret" spots. Yeah, sure, the views are breathtaking and yes, otherworldly. But I'm sick of working so hard for my leisure time.
Why can't nature be easier? I think I like it better when it's a novelty that I rarely get time to experience.
I, of course, am mostly joking. I'm doing Tofino to it's fullest potential, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Wow...
Papercuts by misterrob.co.uk
Camping tonight on the beach with Erica, hopefully will be followed by magical beach laying tomorrow. Minus a sunburn. Minus the boys. In addition, hot dogs and marshmellows.
Most everyone has mail coming to them. If you asked for it, it's in the mail. If you didn't ask me for it, ask, and you shall receive.
