We're walking in the air....

I find myself very homesick this week, for the Rockies, of all places. I bought a snowboarding magazine because I wanted to sketch some of the pretty pictures and caught myself staring at the absolutely breathtaking photography of Whistler and the Pine Pass, and dreaming about the sweeping slopes that climb all the way into heaven and the feeling

OOOH new laptops are LOVE!!

Actually, ANY new computers are awesome. There's nothing better than that New Computer Feeling.

[agentrosecotton]

No, no, there really isn't. I love it, really. (And the best bit is, I can now have this picture on my desktop without giving my mother grey hair. XD)

*is SEW JELLIES of shiny computer!*

Congratulations! :D

[agentrosecotton]

Heehee. *flaunts shamelessly*

But I *might* let you use it. If you're really nice to me. :D

Why do we like Senator Obama?

And oooooh accident? WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!

[agentrosecotton]

We like Senator Obama because he is AWESOME. XD He's a sort of Christian democrat-moderate who is all "Dude, we need to stop poverty and give gay people rights and not kill each other." In a world of stagnant bipartisan political rhetoric he's a breath of fresh air. He gave this speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004, and ever since then everyone's been all "Obama for President!" If he runs, I'd be able to cast my first vote ever for him. XD XD XD *gleeeeee*

Haha. Oh, that--I was driving to a piano recital with my mum when a bloke drove right in front of us and we crashed into him at 40kph. The whole front of our car was smashed in and the airbags went out and everything, and my mum had to go to the hospital with her face all bruised. We were mostly fine, but I haven't been able to get in a car and relax since, and so the insurance company is paying us for pain and injury (it was the bloke's fault). And a laptop totally eases the pain of a car accident six months ago. XD

Oooooh. He sounds awesome. I want Al Gore to run again. He is TEH AWESOME!!!!!!

See, that's why we're not allowed to drive properly for... ages. Heh. Glad you're okay. And got a laptop out of it as well!!

[evilstorm]

Obama! Yes pls!

Ah, wanderlust. I haven't had the brainspace to let the wanderlust out for a while. But I know what you mean. I'm the worst city kid you'll ever see, seriously, New York is my kind of place, but I do need the empty wilderness very badly sometimes. Siiiigh.

[agentrosecotton]

Heehee! I realized the other day that if he does run, the first official vote I ever cast will be for him. ^_^

I like to live in the city--well, small city, heh, I can't stand NY--but I need the wilderness to be accessible. Victoria/Vancouver is just about perfect for me actually in that respect. Mmm, pretty Canadian wildernessish bits. *swoon* *listens to Northwest Passage*

[evilstorm]

Oooh. Shiny.

I need either extreme. Quiet cities and rowdy towns don't do it for me. Either it's New York, or Alaska. Yeah. XD I figure I'll cope by travelling around--which suits me just fine, too.

[windcedar]

Yes - give me mountains!* And wildernessish bits! :) Haven't been to NY, but Toronto's too big for me, so I can't think I'd like it. It's just...too much.

Yay Stan Rogers! :D

*I understand exactly how you feel - every time I leave for somewhere mountainless, I miss them until I come back. They just need to be there, holding up the sky. Even if they're only little bitty mountains like you see in Victoria, they're enough to set the world right. And when you visit them, it really is a...numinous thing.
