California's Burning

the tea fire (thursday night)
taken from the 10th floor of my building
happy birthday andrew lamtall alex makes tall cones.
fourth floor
"the floor that kicks together, sticks together"steven and michael.
my pretend bffs.better my bike than me, i say.


today was a pretty fun day.
had in-n-out for the first time since summer,
church,
and then adam's house for some pre-thanksgiving dinner. (yum)we found a hannah montana poster in front of someone's house
they let us keep itsean apparently loves hannah,
so we went to albertson's and bought mountain dew, code red, and mountain maze
i bought creamsicles (yum)
and we stole a bunch of free muffin samples (double yum)
and created a shrine in front of his door.


"eventually,
all that we have will be gone.."
tonight's speaker told us that,
referring to the tea fires that destroyed hundreds of homes.
so i've decided,
i'm not going to participate in the 450billion dollar consumerist christmas,
spending money on gifts that my friends probably won't like.
instead,
i will spend a smaller amount of money
and use my crafting skills to create something more meaningful.

they say christmas is about giving,
but what's the use of giving impersonal presents?
