The Weekend
Tonday was nearly perfect in every way. Short but fun hike, the smell of streams, decaying leaves, rich earth. Some stream scrambling,and climbing including a few moments of bodily risk. Afterwards amazing 'leftovers' with hottub,*real* swords, and of course many of my favorite people in the whole wide world. Some of whom have outrageous hottub fashion taste. Went home and napped till now.
Looking for backpack that turns into a table for future hike potlucks. Didn't find one, but found this solar powered charging bag. 4watts...we might be able to cook a single grain of rice in a day.

The night previous was also a fun gathering of peeps in celebration of_elle_'s son's 13th birthday. Firespinning, talk into way late into the eve despite me being extraordinarily introverted/pensive, and a brilliant cake by browascensionlightling plus some studio like photo fun courtesy of http://www.saintclic.com/ ...I now know how to fully operate my camera in manual mode, with an external flash...amusing since I nearly destroyed it today. One of the cool gifts that _elle_ made was a book, containing advice pages from various people, I had a hard time determining what was special about being 13 versus any age, anyway I uploaded what I wrote (less mind map style than I would like), and will endeavor to update it periodically. http://www.troygardner.com/advice/
One of the quesitons that came up that eve was what people spend their time thinking about. For me I'd say it's 90% how, what if, and why based questions. Often looking for 'that's innovative, creative, funny, unique'.brkvw brought up that most people he asked that question to responded "what I have to do next" (usually a list given to them by someone else). Bleh.
Self and Health: Down and Raw
Moodwise of late I've down, moody, introverted, and 'huggy'. INFP like. It's strange to be both anti-social and lonely at the same time, trying to figure out what to do that satisfies both. On my advice link one of the checklists I have is causal factors in feelihg down in the past. I think part of it is due to not getting enough sun exposure, and some value conflicts. Part may also be diet.
I've also been eating about 80% raw of late thanks to the kitchen help, and not wanting to waste any food, some new experiments included 'ants on a log'. and some dehydrated breads (ginger buckwheat carrot, blueberry date wheat) Being cold last week I made a huge pot of excellent curried coconut lentil soup, and I found myself incapable of stopping to eat, sinilar to when I come off a fast. So I wondered if I was getting enough calories, weighed myself and sure enough, I'm down to 151, my normal weight is 155-160, and I'm still physically active dancing several times a week. Through Kunji found a new raw restaurant that's less expensive than Julianos on the west side called "leaf cuisine" thinking of trying it out soon.
I've been wonderkng if I can I accurately describe myself as spiritual? I've got so many other things on the checklist down. I've actually met several pagan vehement atheists, who automatically assume I'm into vibrations, crystals and the like, when I'm not really. Strange how such opposite trains of thought can end up with similar choices. I was remarking tofaustin the other eve, in some cases despite being both into the same things externally, I have less in common with these people than a random person off the street, as it's the difference in distance between me turning left, a normal person going straight and they turning right, yet somehow occasionally ended up in the same place.
I've been thinking about how attention and others interacting with me tends to be like looking at a crystal/mirror. When not focused, I get rather disjointed, cryptic, odd responses, like light coming through a facet in a crystal...or glancing off a fun house mirror. Fully focused and straight on I can be rather laser like in coherence. This is something I've noticed in other INTP's as well. Like living in detached bubble at times, occasionally messaging down observations from the clouds.
Halloween
Anybody have any halloween plans other than the Santa Monica Blvd Hullabaloo?
