Its kind of gross how much I love my job. Not the actual work that it entails but the parts when I don't have to work and I can lounge about the cafe` sipping the most elaborate tea lattes and listen to stories of our boss doing mushrooms in Mexico and letting a murderer stay with him at his hotel. Making the grossest drinks we can come up with to prank Craig with. Leading a parade of home bums and professors down the sidewalk with tables in chairs in tow. Making incredible abstract latte art. Getting tipped with treasure and weed. Getting prank calls from the regulars. Whipped Cream dance parties and too many smoke breaks.
P.S. One of my regulars thought that my God Speed You Black Emperor patch meant I was pro obama.

New years was weird. Definitely no where near as amazing as last new years but it was fair. We all went to a house show near downtown. The crowd there was younger and it was really strange to finally be the older kid that came with the band. I sat on the porch the entire night, smoking and watching these children jump on a trampoline. We left the show and biked to the lake and attempted to steal paddle boats. We got caught and threatened so we biked to a house show in Berkeley. I stayed there until midnight came, it was too chaotic for me. Nikhil and I went home earlier than everyone else and made potatoes and tofu, drank tea and listened to music. It was a simple night but its the first thing I've done in two and a half weeks so it seems like a sorta-big deal. Or something.
Fuck.

I biked by myself today for 5 hours around the north east. It was the most perfect fall day, I completely forgot what fall was like in the north west and so many nostalgic feelings and experiences came rushing back without any sort of warning at all....

Portland has been oddly inspiring lately. No one does much here and its been forcing me to entertain myself. I haven't been able to stop drawing for the first time in over a year, i feel so liberated.

My birthday was simple and silly. I got 3 presents from people I didn't really expect anything from at all. Trevor got me a box of cookies & a beautiful bracelet, Kendra gave me a satchel of hers full of herbs and stones that were apparently given to christ on his birthday and Dan gave me a bag of found feathers and a thimble of bear fat. Matt Russell took the day off and we decided to venture in forest park across the river. We hiked for a bit and then ended up getting lost and wandering around residential neighborhoods for about 5 miles. We came upon a fenced off meadow, crawled under the fence and watched the sunset.

Me and kevins back packs got stolen, we lost everything. I feel worse for him than myself, he lost his passport and $1100. Everyone that we've met so far in cali has been really helpful though, they hooked us up with new packs, sleeping bags, new clothes, and food. A few people even biked around the city to look for them. We've been handling it pretty well though, I'm trying to think of this as a sort of positive rebirth type thing.

Today we made a huge delicious breakfast and 13 of us biked to the flea market, hopped the fence and spent a fair amount of time digging through treasures & dumpster diving nachos. Kevin and I are leaving on wedenesday for portland, hitching hiking up the coast should be gorgeous but I'm a bit nervous to go to Portland.

I've been in California for 2 days and its been amazing. Our first day Zeke, Mairin, Kevin and I biked to peoples park in Berkeley and had food not bombs then went to telegraph and got coffee at the cafe mairin works at while zeke and kevin looked at records. We biked to a a place called the Landfill and looked at sculptures made out of trash and drank wine in a tree house and watched the ocean. Today Zeke, Kevin, Mairin, Sam, Emily, Brian & I all went to San Fransisco with bikes. We biked to a pier and watched sea lions sleep and fight each other on the docks & went to a museum of old arcade games. I payed a quarter to have my fortune told and apparently I'm going to elope on November 10th. We biked to the mission and got burritos & then went to Sams studio to fix kevins bike, we ended up having 3 flats. Our last stop was thrill house and then back to apgard to a cozy night of sewing, smoking and tea. Oh, and knitting fairy tales.

Fuckkkkkkkk boyfriends.
I've been hanging out with Zeke & Kevin non-stop. We went on a beautiful 16 mile bike ride to Shelburne farms & hung out with sheep, chickens, cows and llamas. The next day we hitch hiked to plattsburgh, got a ride in a back of a truck & road the ferry. We went to a house show that turned out to be pretty lame but at least we got out of burlington. This weekend is going to be super adventure awesome time again, i can't wait. I'm leaving on the first forever, thank god.

Brat Fest was AMAZING! Man and I got a ride with her friends Grandmother. We got there really early and stomped around a few hours before we found a place to sleep. We found this small wood behind a park & we built an awesome fort out of sticks. We named it The Fortress & it fit 6 people. There was art and theatre and parking lot shows and pinatas. We hung out with a band from kentucky & went swimming, it was magical. Kaya and Kevin left early which kinda sucked for me but it wasn't so bad. It rained on us monday morning, man and I made it to St.Johnsbury in three hours. I've been in btown since and its been awesome. Dylan and I went on a hike today and the other day Kevin x2, Dylan x2, Jules, Kaya & Pat (The Bunny) and I went to the beach. We made a huge sand octopus and watched the sunset. Tomorrow Kevin, Kaya, maybe Rose and I are going to Montpelier & the next weekend is the yarbles! Life rules lately.

Adnan decided that we should get a ride to montpelier and then bike to burlington instead. The whole drive to montpelier was gorgeous and 5 miles into our bike ride it started pouring on us. I got soaking wet and i was freezing cold, i was only wearing shorts and a t shirt & i didn't bring a sweatshirt. Adnan broke my sunglasses so i had water and bugs flying into my eyes the whole time. Part of route 2 was closed so we had to go a few miles out of our way down these dirt roads on 100 B. 40 miles later I thought my body might collapse on itself but I made it! Only to come to Burlington to have everyone act like assholes. I guess peoples tolerance for adnan has finally bubbled over and the truth is coming out, EVERYONE hates him. They don't want to hang out with me either because I bring him along. Decatur St kids are becoming shifty gossip queens and they're taking kaya down with them and I just want all of this to stop. I haven't seen her for a week and my first night in town she hardly spoke to me and didn't come home. I'm trying really hard not to be upset but i cant help it, especially with sandy blowing things out of proportion all the time. Burlington is my escape town, what am I going to do if i cant run away to here? Go to fucking st johnsbury? ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. help.
I want to see you mairin :(

Tomorrow Adnan and I are biking to Montpelier. I'm pretty excited, I've always wanted to ride long distance in VT. We went on a 20 mile warm up ride today and I was fine. I'll be able to make it to Btown soon enough...

I never know what to say on this thing anymore. I've just been going from burlington to stj once a week. Last week I got picked up by a motorcyclist (my first time) when I was hitching to Burlington, It was a lot of fun but after an hour of being on it I was in a lot of pain. Everyother day Julian, Dylan G, Dham, Kevin, Kaya and I go on super prime time bikeing adventures. Hopefully, if it doesnt rain, we'll be going on a hiking/camping trip this weekend. blah blah blahhhhhhhh
