Well, if I can’t even decipher meaning from the definition, then I guess I’m screwed.

I played “Janitor” on Monday and I haven’t worked since. I guess I could make use of the enormous amount of free time to get all my schoolwork done early, plus all my intended side projects. I’ve been meaning to do a second piece for my Dolls theme and get started on a second episode for my comic. Notice I only manage to start projects but never get around to even working on them afterwards?

The boyfriend and I had been excited about this Waldo Lake trip for the past week. As excited as I was, however, I didn’t have the sense of urgency to actually haul my arse down to the office and sign up for the trip. Still, we figured we could just show up for the pretrip meeting and get our names in then.

The trip initiator first gave a brief intro to the wonders of Waldo Lake. All wilderness, perfectly undisturbed, and water so clean and pure, you could see hundreds of feet down into the water on a clear day. Apparently, the water was even cleaner than distilled water because almost no living organisms could survive in there. They had tried to breed fish in the lake but they all died because there was nothing for them to eat.
**Actually, I find that a bit disturbing. Wouldn’t it mean there’s something wrong with the water if nothing can survive in it? I’ll have to find out more about this. I’m actually interested in Waldo Lake now and I want to go there more than ever.

He then proceeded to give us a brief rundown of that day’s itinerary. Kayak across, eat lunch, then come back. There wouldn’t be too many campers around that time so it’d be pretty nice and quiet and all the scary mosquitoes would be long gone. Furthermore, it’d be really cold and there might actually be snow. He actually said that last part as a warning, but to me, it was a golden glimmer of promise. I love snow.

The problem was there was only room for one more person.

There were six of us at that meeting who were not signed up and, being a couple, my boyfriend and I opted out.

After being distributed whiffs of pure water, perfectly undisturbed wilderness and snow, five of us had to forego the wonders of Waldo.

Well, now I’m more interested in going than ever. It probably won’t be this weekend, but I really want to check it out before it gets too cold.
