oh, these lazy summer days.

It's absolutely ironic that we fall out of touch with anyone, ever. Facebook, email, instant message, text message, blue tooth- and yet I still only call my family about once a week. I still communicate with one of my uncles by letter only. How is this possible?
Of course, communication requires two people. I can send as many messages as I like, and if no one responds to them, communication is not happening.

and now, for something completely different:
this summer I have

• Taken a bus
  
• rollerbladed
• skinned my knees
• stared at jellyfish
• watched more than one season of a tv show
• gone on a several mile walk
• eaten at three new restaurants
• tried a new drink
• started packing
• finished my exit interviews from the school
• sent an email to a friend I haven't talked to since christmas break
• started praying nightly

Some other things on my list for summer include

• figuring out my paperwork
• moving twice
• floating down several rivers on a giant inflatable orca
• skinny dipping
• having a super soaker war
• helping in the garden
• going to the beach
• getting burned a glorious brown
• dying my hair back to its natural color- brown
• going to the jazz and blues festival
• going to the National Naturopathic conference
• having an anniversary barbecue
• getting into better shape
• riding a bike
• having fun with friends
  
• staying in touch with far away friends
• making new friends

with that in mind, I should probably call my grandma and then get started. There's never time to waste
