I’ll seek you out, Flay you alive One more word and you won't survive And I'm not scared of your stolen power I see right through you any hour

I had an adventure today.
Bike ride with Aurora in the sharp winter air, wind blowing, my face coming off because of the coldness. To the end, the end of the street. "Road Ends" sign. Down a dirt road, covered in snow. Junkyard. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Everything is so desolate and abandoned. 

Then down a bumpy hill on our bikes into the forest, explore a frozen riverlake, misstep, soak my foot. Backtrack, explore safer areas. Return, trudge up the hill, dragging the bikes. Go back, cold, but happy. 

I'm going back on Monday. This place is too perfect.

Did you take those pictures? Dumb question, I know you did, they look fab. I LOVE the one of the old bus. You should take some self portraits there.

Hey, Chloe. I do try to read you blog. Here at my home in MO the internet is dial-up AND having problems so it's like pulling teeth to get on and then DO anything! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your photos!!! I'm glad 2008 was a good year for you. I'm glad i was able to be a part of it. I don't know when I'll be able to write again, DUMB COMPUTER JUNK AND STUFF!, but I'll try and say hi when i can. Jeez, it's just me and Sam and the lonely wild out here. (Don't think i'm dissing nature!) But it gets humdrum sometimes. And I can't load any pictures becuase of the freakin' dumb internet! Oh well. I'll pretend i'm actually in some remote land in the East Indies where outer communication is near impossible and we have to fight for our lives just to survive. You know, to make my plight seem more interesting. ;) Well, ttyl. See ya in April! (let me know where you're going to live and what classes you're going to take!)
