R.I.P. Apple Jack

In what has become one of the most lamentable things in my short life, Apple Jack has passed. Well he didn't just pass, he was brutally murdered. On accident. In an accident.
Poor guy.I miss him. He served me so well. All those long nights back and forth to Utah. Keeping me toasty on my commute to LLU. Cooling me off on those hot afternoons shopping for iPod covers.
Now I'm stuck at home alone on a Friday night because I do not have the means to transport myself anywhere.
Sad Story.

San Onofre

To start off October right, I went on a camping trip! I love camping. I love being outside and smelling campy air, and its even better when its on a beach with new friends. I went down to San Onofre with some people I recently met. We had a blast! It was absolutely gorgeous the whole time we were there, which is nothing like it has been this week (yuck!). Unfortunately, the camp site was 2 feet from the street and 100 yards from the freeway. And a truck weigh station. And a nuclear power plant. Haha. Luckily, I am a really good sleeper (and I had an air mattress). I was able to stay in a mega tent (sleeps like 12, there were 3 of us in there). On Saturday we all trekked down to the beach for games and surfing. I put on my wetsuit only to realize it was too hot for a wetsuit! Then I had to daringly peel it off. Oh the many adventures of a young hygiene student.
It was a lot of fun, especially when it was just three of us that stayed for the second night. There was a lot of bonding.We went to dinner together. Came back together. Only one person brought body wash. So we all smelled like Suave for Kid's Wacky Mellon. And then we shared life stories by the campfire. And went running together. And showered again. All slept in the same tent. Had breakfast together. I feel oddly close to those two now. Did I mention I just met them?
