I came back from East Coast Camping, and I had an awesome time! It was great seeing the people I know, meeting people I've heard friends talk about (you all know who you are, don't play coy) and meeting other people as well.

But I came down with a cold today. I could tell it was gonna happen when I woke up... I didn't have a sore or scratchy throat, but it felt like a cold was coming on. I blame myself for staying up till like 8:30 AM Friday morning and therefore weakening my immune system. I slept for the entire drive from the campsite to Max's house.

I'm gonna go home tomorrow, but in the meantime get to sleep next to fauxjocie and two adorable kittens.

I have become more assertive and defensive. If someone does something to erode my trust in a major way... I am more vocal about it than I used to be. I have good instincts about people. For a long time I've had them about which guys to trust and keep close to me... be it as friends or something more... which to hold at arm's length... and which to shut out entirely. I've had to learn how to do that with female friends. Since the terrible couple of weeks have passed, two friendly acquaintances have pissed me off by dishonesty and manipulating. I've had to keep my own anger in check by reminding myself that people like that are just not worth interacting with ever. I've realized, but am finally acknowledging, the necessity for me to have a low tolerance policy for liars.

When you're a health-crazed vegetarian, it's easier to eat at home than at restaurants, campsites, or other peoples' homes... . I did a pretty good job. I am such a food freak though. I am glad lots of people ate my baking and some complimented me on it... I am such a baking dork. Max or Jay will tell you that I will be in the middle of a conversation about something else entirely and be like... "Should I make cookies or spice cake tonight?"
Oh, and Max made me miso soup tonight because he rocks.
