Critical mass 05/09

I rode critical mass tonight and it was amazing. I forgot how invincible it feels to overtake the streets with a load of people, and how good it feels to ride through Liberty Park with the sunshine in my face, arms in the air and $1.99 Cabernet pumping through my veins. So many people were taking pictures so I'm sure I'll have some more later, for now:

After the ride we rounded up 30 or so of us to go to Desert Edge for beer.

Sara and Candice had an arm wrestle match.

I'm drunk and going to sleep. Candice, I'm sorry I used your laptop without asking.

Fresh start.

I've been writing in the same Livejournal (livejournal.com/users/scarlet__stains) since I was 16 and now that I'm 22 I have decided to move my ramblings elsewhere and give myself a fresh start. I'm hoping this can keep me motivated to post more often, so we'll see.

Last night Sias came over and I tried to make toffee but had the worst culinary failure of my life; it was such a disaster I think even my pan is ruined. I believe the culprit was too much brown sugar and not enough fat, and boiling the sugar mixture for too long so that it became too thick. Now I've wasted a whole pound of Earth Balance and put a tiny bruise on my ego. Hmph.

I can't believe Memorial Day weekend is already here! Candice and I are talking about a BBQ monday and Cassie is trying to convince me to go to Nevada until Sunday. Either way I see sundresses, bikes and beer in my future.

The prospect of moving has put a pause on my decorating plans. I'm afraid to buy the furniture I had been planning on getting because I have no idea what my new place will be like, what if I don't have room for this or that or what if I can't paint, etc. So for now I'm going to leave things just as they are:

my bedside table and the books I'm currently reading

living room, look past the broken blinds

coffee table!

living room again

built-in shelves and peek into my bedroom


and I just bought this guy on eBay to add to my collection! I love him.

There's all kinds of exciting things coming up! I've got a great outlook on everything and it feels wonderful. Here's to new beginnings.
