Th-oughts and such
More sporadic thoughts:
Today was the perfect day. It is the first day of December, a month that I love. It is nearing Christmas, a holiday that I love. I had the day off and Kate and I ventured out into the cold to buy a Christmas tree and then decorate the house. As we started out morning with hot cider and a crackling fire, it began to snow. Too perfect.
It feels like so long since I have enjoyed snow. There is really something special to me about it-- even having grown up in snow-country and experienced the good and bad side it all, I still feel so much wonder watching snow fall. I really miss the snow of my childhood.
I have some really great friends here. I am associated with a group of people who are smart, witty, fun, creative, giving, spontaneous and just plain cool. They each have such neat things going on in their lives; they are driven and have goals and desires. They know how to have a good time, but they are responsible and respectful. I am thankful to be surrounded by such great friends as these.
Maybe it's a Portland thing or maybe it's just a thing to which I didn't have much exposure before, but I have had so many opportunities and offers and pressure to smoke pot. I'm really just not into it, so it's not much to me, but I'm fascinated by the culture it captures here.

perhaps, this makes me a bad friend and a really bad future spawner(oh god) but if you're so damn fascinated by it you should just go get it over with. get it out of your system, you know? here are some things to remember: people don't like moochers so try not to just use people for their weed. also, be careful I've known people who've gotten raped due to a bad high. and uh it's a gateway drug. but other then that, have fun!
I would be the best youth leader ever.
