Thieving *ssholes Will Pay

Days Walking - 28

Eeeeeeep!
A literary magazine has asked to read / consider my short story before I post it. Is this a prank? Damn, I'm not even done writing it yet. So now it has to be like, good. I'm resisting the urge to scrap the whole thing and re-write it. Or write something else entirely. Ahh, it's gonna suck, they'll hate it, I'll apologize profusely for wasting their time, and we'll all go back to business as usual.

Really tired today. I feel strung out and heady, like medicine head but not. I know it's not m-head because I haven't taken any medicine. Church and Kwame are still sniffling and sneezing. I woke up really achy, but not that much more than usual. No one else is sick yet, we're all sipping Airborne like its Sweet Kentucky Bourbon. Hope it helps.

Didn't sleep well last night. Lots of unremembered dreams, troubling themes, bullshit issues from my past life (the 9-5 one), teasing me like Sinister Snow Fey all damn night long. Get Thee Behind Me, Baggage!

Brows Furrowed.

And the aurora is f*cking with me. During the brief moments the wind dies down and I poke my nose out into the night, I am unsettled. There's always some kind of motion out of the corner of my eye, and I have to, have to look and see what it is. It could be a hungry polar bear. The one time I don't look, and check out what the movement is, Raawrr, a bear is gonna claw my face off.

Heather - Yeap, we are Deepindahearta Tundra. Trees - I Wish! Do you know how many stupid pieces of equipment we are lugging on our backs that are meant to be slung from something? The instructions are all "Just hang from a nearby tree and..." Grrrrrrrrr! Yeah it's all good, we get little closer to the tree line every day.

Also, I'm missing the little bent u-shaped plastic doohickies that help me close my vacuum storage bags. I've been very careful, cause they are ever so lose-able, I have this little zippered pouch I keep them in and now they're both gone. Someone must have taken them. It might have been Gabe, I think he lost his like the first day. He hasn't said anything, but I'll just bet he's been coveting my doohicky. F*cker. Church? I hope not. Whoever took them will pay.

No trees, no signs of life, brutal conditions...sounds like Mordor with snow.

So that brings me to my first question (everyone else has asked one, I figured I should): have you seen/heard any wildlife? Birds? Seals? Bears? Esquilax? Inquiring biologists want to know.

(deep breath) nooooooooooo...too much? hehe...I forbid you to scrap what you've written (or if you do, post it first :) ) The first entry I read here was the one on which you posted a song you wrote and I thought damn, wish I had her mad writing skillz.

Speaking of iPod radio, why not post your blog as mp3's? It would be interesting to hear your voice.

I picture it as being a pretty sexy voice. Don't disappoint me, LOL.
