Notice how sweet Laura is. Notice how my face is twice the size of hers... I think we call that Moon face in Japanese... it's not a good thing.
On one of the hike, Amanda and I got separated from Laura and Stefan. Amanda and I went to the Centennial Dome, which was spectacular, and Amanda found a cool tree. We took pictures of us there, and really, it would have been cooler if we were able to do some more funky things. I like how the photos are really spontaneous, but at the same time, a bit more makeup and glitter is always fun.
This is really cute. Amanda's head sticking out from underneath the tree.
I think I remember seeing a couple of chubby girls playing by the Yuba River, and Amanda pointed them out. Pssst, 'Reiko look at them'... as in, wow, they're so much like us... I am forever chubby girl, well, as long as I'm a healthy chubby girl who's also sexy, I think it's ok by me.

Amanda's so pretty.
This is looking West to the Bay Area. I'm taking a photo ontop of a map inscribed onto a metal sheet.
This is looking East to Baltimore.
I started this fire via the top down method. Peter and Teressa and the rest of the crew came back from their hike. We had some yummy vegan chilli, and started to sing some songs around the camp fire. I was trying to get these guys to sing the Nitingale song. 'What about the protest song? The one with the birds?' After about the fourth time I mentioned it, I think Peter asked me to sing it... And I did. And I just stopped at the first verse. I sort of wanted other people to pick it up. If I was Tara, then I could have gotten everyone to sing with me. I remember when we were protesting at Washington DC a long time ago, she kept singing it when we were marching. Even after everyone stopped singing, she kept going, and people started to join her again. She's got so much spirit, she's amazing.
I had started to drink, a bottle of red, champagne, some grapefruit juice and vodka, but not beer. I wasn't the only one drinking, but I think, I was pretty much the only one that kept going. I pulled a Bernard that evening. Laura said that we all have Bernard moments, but he's the only one that can do it full time.
I just wanted to have fun, that's all.
Oh, and I think I'm less freaked out with Mr. Peter Petty Personality. I joked around with him, and he joked around with me, and I think it's all right.
Teressa and Stefan. They look like siblings, but they are aunty and nephew.
That's Peter Petty Personality. He's not camera shy, he actually looked into my camera when I was taking a picture. Yay! The haiy head belongs to Terresa. She said, 'I still feel like I'm 18.' I think I'm shooting for 23, but good for her for being able to do 18.
I climbed up this huge rock by our camp site in the morning. I curled up under this tree, and thought a bit. I was actually picking black snot out of my nose. And then there was a guy who had come from no where. He wanted to check to see if I was dead. I think he must have been one of our neighbor campers, maybe even the one with the night vision goggle. It's funny, I was thinking about this. And people go to remote places, not so that they could be alone, or so that they could meditate, or pick their nose in private, but so that they could be found. This is kind of cheesy, and half true. I actually, just wanted to feel free.
Freedom from what?
