TFC DAY #10
uhhh. mazing. my latest fav. weird lyrics, i think about shooting people, but super catchy, and amusing video...
today we finish the tongue fire. timmy decided to call me tinkerbell. he said i pee more than anyone he knows. i said that he should be impressed with how hydrated i'm staying.
booker is being the biggest jerk in the world. the nice day must have been my warning that it was coming.
slept the whole way back to midland. again. i guess the sleep part is one of the pluses of this trip - i am pretty well caught up, and may have a few extra hours stored for the future.

TFC DAY #9
sooo funnnny. i love the enlightenment at the end: ooohhhhhhh!
the weather is so hot in this place that you can't eat. i have been sick from eating (no puking, thank goodness), the past 5 days, at least. so this morning, i came up with a brilliant plan and just had chocolate milk for breakfast. they don't have that thin, watery, lucerne or flavorite or whatever brand of milk. no way, jose. it's thick and creamy and tastes like some hershey's syrup just barely got mixed in.
we got called to a fire today. only 4 hours away this time. it is known as the 'tongue fire'. i like to call it the chaos fire. overhead has no idea what they are doing, and every overhead is telling different crews to do all different things, so no one really knows what they are supposed to do.
i made friends with the dozer guys today. we were in briefing and i sat by one. i looked over, like you look to see who you're sitting by, even though you're not really paying attention, and i had to do a double take.
i told him: whoa! nice 70's stache!
and he told me: hah thanks, you look like kate winslet.
and i told him: haha that's funny.
and he told me: no it's not. you seriously look like her.
*that's the SECOND time someone has told me that! i must be gorgeous!
70's stache and phil, who actually turned out to be jake, lost the coin flip and the other dozer ended up coming to the tongue fire.
LESSON #6: when you think you are tall enough to clear a barb wire fence - you aren't.
yes, i got caught on a barb wire fence. timmy and booker had to rescue me. i thought i was tall enough to just go over the top, swing one leg then the other, you know? well, i swung one. and when i tried to swing the other - i couldn't. so i tried to swing my first leg back over to my side. no happening. so i was just stuck straddling a barb wire fence, waiting for booker and timmy to pay attention to me calling them.

i think this is near the part i got stuck on...

georgia o'keeffe, part deux
good mood music.
i love how she plays with the rhythm in this song.
i ended up having 17 blooms on two orchid plants. 5 on one, 12 on the other! super exciting. i think all of them but 2 are still alive.
i took pictures of the other flowers, which are less pink and more green. super pretty.
maybe you can find something for your background, mamacita?
haiku of the day:
homework really sucks
where is my attention span?
go write your paper!!

they're even pretty from the back.
pretty good camera usage (useage?), eh? blurry background!?
i didn't even know i could do that!

wedding vows
gorgeous gorgeous cover of death cab for cutie.
a long time ago - i was really big in my poetry stage - i found this poem and decided i was going to use it for my wedding vows. every time i find it again in all the clutter that is my stuff, i like it even more. it's beeeeautiful:
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
e.e. cummings
are you crying yet?
