Did someone say "Road Trip"?!

Got your attention? Good! While you're here, tell me what your thoughts are on "soul energy" and what it means to you. For science or something. I know, I've been out of the loop lately. Not my fault! I feel like I used to be more skeptical but that's kind of weird in and of itself, but sorry if it's an old and bored topic. My opinion is that whatever we call it, however we explain it, it's doing something, right? It's affecting you and me and the people around us. It's a lot like me and yoga. I don't believe in chakra and centering yourself and all that (sorry, coach!) but I think you'll agree: the results speak for themselves. ;) Speaking of activities, it's a week 'til my birthday. The big 2-1. Since I'm kind of partied out with all the festivities happening, I'm thinking of going out on an adventure instead. Camping! Hiking! Climbing! Cliff-diving! What's not to love? If you think a couple of nights out in Magatus territory plus the round-trip road trip are for you, HMU and I'll make the arrangements. (Unless you have a camper, in which case you're already my new favorite person, so HMU *fast*!)

Do you want to go with me sometime?
I'd go alone, but playing bowling with one player is like the sports equivalent of Solitaire.

[nachetanya]

[ Wow what an invitation from a stranger... Well, sort of. This is Lina's mysterious roommate, huh? ]

Oh, sure! If you want!

I probably can't invite myself along to Magatus, but I'd be curious to go up there too.

[burndownforwhat]

[ it's just a little bowling. not like the girl wanted to —

oh, she brought it up after all. that's kind of a surprise. ]

Sounds great. We'll have to make plans.

Speaking of which, I wouldn't have posted if I didn't want people to come along.
Have you looked up anything about that region before? I seem to remember it being nothing but snow and ice, but I guess seasons change as fast as anything else around here.

[nachetanya]

There was mostly just snow and ice and forests last time I was there

[ When she got lost in the forest with... her own doubts and she hated it so much. ]

I'm hoping it's a bit easier to work with now it's a little warmer!

[burndownforwhat]

I sure hope so, because I'm not going to be prepared for a winter wonderland, haha.

And hey, if the layout of the terrain is similar, you'd be the experienced one in the group so far. I call that a bonus.

[nachetanya]

Well, "experienced" it's only been a few times!

I'm glad you get to have a cool 21st like that too!

[burndownforwhat]

A little experience still beats none.

And thanks! I hope to make it fun for all.
So far everyone I know that's coming is good with keeping up with me, but I want to respect everyone's limits.
Do you have anything you'd need for a trip like this?

[nachetanya]

Well I think the limits of my upper body strength probably speak for themselves in relation to hiking and whatnot... But other than that! I'm a vegetarian, but I can also just bring my own snacks.

Oh.

And I did sort of invite myself along, so even if you can see my name there I'm Natalia Fairweather, hi!

[burndownforwhat]

It's nice to meet you, Natalia! I'm Jen, as you already probably also saw, haha.

You can bring your own snacks, but we can easily pack some veggies and meat alternatives.
I won't tell the grill if you don't. ;)

[nachetanya]

Guilty!

But sure, it'll be our worst-kept secret ever! The Grill definitely doesn't need to know, though . . .

So other people confirmed?

[burndownforwhat]

With you and me, so far, we're at five.
I'm hoping the camper has plenty of space. I'll have to get with Kara and go check them out soon.

[nachetanya]

[ Oh cool, she knows Kara too.

... Mmm.

You know, this is a little crazy but why not, right? If this is the famed Roomie, then Lina'll be there maybe and more importantly, it's someone else with a prosthesis on the app. ]

Well, if it isn't then feel free to nix me off the guest list, we did just meet, after all.

Still, five! That's more than enough for an adventure

[burndownforwhat]

[ hahaha, getting Lina to go OUTSIDE. that'd be the day. ]

No one would get left behind. We'll find a way to make it work. The more, the merrier!

Besides, we could go bowling sometime before next week. That way you wouldn't be able to use that excuse.

[nachetanya]

I was being polite, not making an excuse!

But if you really have the time, that would actually be fun! I can actually supply something special for the trip.

[ Get some nice craft beers from her cousin's bar. ]

[burndownforwhat]

[ right now, with her summer vacation's end looming ever closer, Jen's keen on taking a few more chances with her free time to make the most of things. short of fleeing the state she's not had much opportunity to do so in the past. ]

Polite is good, but I mean it when I say you shouldn't feel unwelcome.
My daily schedule is a little crammed, with training and all. But if you text me later when you're free I'll make some time.

[ insert her number here. what, that's not weird at all. it's for planning purposes! ]

[nachetanya]

Honestly, I'm mostly free on weekends and such what with my own job, but it's not the busiest thing ever for me.

I'll text you, don't worry!

[burndownforwhat]

I'm looking forward to it, Natalia. Talk to you later!
