I woke up like this... literally.
Disclaimer: This is actually really boring. No quality of life is going to be found in this post because I am truly a boring person, but PLEASE continue to invite me to go out even though I am Queen Flake because sometimes I do make it out & like to have fun with friends. Now let me bore you with my words...
Before we actually left, I was already annoyed because I was tired and I didn't want to go, so you can bet I was pretty darn moody when I found out that what was supposed to be an 1 hr & 15 min drive would turn out to be twice that! We were off to a SHITTY start.
Things you should probably know:
1. I didn't build my tent.
2. I didn't help build anyone else's tent.
3. I should've, but I sat in my car because I am such an awfully rude person sometimes.
4. And when that happens, I am so upset with myself because I'm really not that rude.
Anyway, we got there. I had dinner. I looked up. I took photos of the stars we rarely see in LA. And I slept early that night. Twas a cold evening that's for sure.
Then I really wanted to know what was cooking...
Everyone woke up so early cause it was freezing to my standards. Which reminds me of the fact that I am not excited for the weather that is to come. It won't be THAT cold, but it just means I would have to wear more clothes which is a hassle sometimes ya'know?
Here's what happened:
I woke up. Stayed in my tent. Had breakfast. Went for a walk. Went back to my tent. Went to the lake to go paddle boarding. Felt bad because so much water was lost due to the drought. Went back to my tent. Slept for what was about 3 hours. Woke up. Smelled food (photo above). Ate. Went back in my tent. Took a shower. Went back in my tent. Did some reading. Got kicked out of my tent because before I knew it, it was decided that we were going to leave because of a thunderstorm that was rolling in.
We ended up staying for just one night & I'm cool with that, but I REALLY REALLY enjoy staying in a tent. I have this thing with sleeping close to the ground (that's why all through out grade school, people would find me on the floor because that's where I belong on the social hierarchy). I can get super comfortable and cozy which leads to lots of thinking, then leads to feeling happy because the stars are honestly so freaking beautiful and calming and everything to me, then feeling bad about myself because someone could be looking up at the stars with me, then creating silly scenarios in my head of people who are now irrelevant, then back to feeling happy and thinking about the several shows I'm planning to go to this month. In all seriousness though, I can say that I am genuinely happy. Sometimes you just need to sit in a tent and reflect on everything, to feel feelings and sometimes to feel hungry, but not wanting to eat because YO campground restrooms aren't the bidness, but kudos to Silverwood because they were clean aye eff.
I am so down to go camping again, but at my own will and my choice of destination. This time I'll pitch my own tent somewhere off of the coast in Big Sur or in the mountains of Yosemite where I will be with future bae. Where we would climb rocks and burn our s'mores together. Where we'll freeze to death because we weren't well prepared. Where we'll hike, be sweaty, and take selfies to show people that we're outdoorsy. LOL Just kidding. All of that will happen with friends. The only ones I want to be with.
But seriously. It's great to be outdoors sometimes. Away from the city's filth (that I love hehehoho).
ANYWAY, in the words of Louis Cole (funforlouis)
"Peace out, enjoy life & live the adventure."
