I'm now officially up north. In the woods. Deep in the forest.
So, I did these awesome video posts every day since I got up here. And then I tried to upload it onto the blog, and then I found out that YouTube is no longer compatible with Casio cameras, which means it's going to take longer to upload it, which means that there's almost no point in doing it now.
So.
Hello.
Welcome to my life up north.
Things I've learned since being up here:
1) It's really fucking cold in the cabin. I do not remember the cabin being that cold...but I wake up in the morning and then walk outside and realize that it's colder in the cabin than it is outside. Which will be great in the hot summer weather. In the 32 degree weather that is a northwoods spring...super sucks, y'all.
2) The fruity smell I kept noticing each time I turned on the water or the weird taste when I would drink it? Oh yeah, that was anti-freeze that my dad put in the well to keep the pipes from freezing over the winter. Which is not uncommon, but it just hadn't been flushed yet. Apparently Pooks is much smarter than me, because she wasn't having any of it.
3) I am amazing at building a fire in a fireplace. And if you don't believe me, you can ask Pooks.
4) I am so great at building a fire that I accidentally burned a hole in my Artcrank shirt the other night. Was super sad about it. I got the shirt by being a volunteer, and it was part of my favorite outfit. #sadness#
5) I am super, super, ridiculously out of shape. At least, compared to ten years ago. Which is changing, but still. Holy crap.
6) No matter what it's for or who it's with, I will be taking advantage of social opportunities. I'm too afraid that if I don't, I'll turn into that woman who roams the woods in two braids and Uggs and spends all her free time with her parents.
Oh wait. I already have.
7) I'm also really good at meditation. I only need to do it for, like, 5 minutes and I'm done.
Okay, that's it. I have to jet over the cabin now to write. Because I don't have internet there! And I've been living like that for 4 days now and I'm still alive!
I'M STILL ALIIIIVVVVEEEE!
Please don't forget about me.
So.
