Autobahn

I got my permit a couple weeks ago, finally. (I turned 16 last July, but for some reason my parents wouldn’t let me get my permit until a couple weeks ago. Which means that I have to wait until October to get my license. Sigh!) So, I’ve been driving around with my parents, even though that’s hardly driving, because everyone knows the point of being able to drive is being able to go places without needing to ask for rides.

Anyways.

Life Goal: Drive on an autobahn, at a gazillion miles an hour… and not die or get injured. Not sure how that will work out since it seems a little dangerous and I really don’t have any desire to die. But that would be pretty cool, yea?

Welcome Packet, Tennis Racket, Yellow Jacket, Income Bracket…

Life Goal: Finish a New York Times crossword puzzle.

One of my life goals is complete! I’ve finally finished one! And, although it’s only a Monday crossword, YAY!!!

Yay! So, a new life goal is in order.

Life Goal: Be able to do the New York Times consistently (daily?).

Now, to get into bed before my antihistamine knocks me out!

Tree People

My fave pics:

Wow. These are absolutely breathtaking. I can’t seem to find much about these people, but I did manage to find this…

Which basically means that as soon as I have 10k lying around, I’ll be going to Indonesia to see these tree people for myself.

But seriously, how cool is that?

I can’t even begin to fathom that kind of lifestyle. That’s craaaaazy stuff. But also, how cool a job is that? For George Steinmetz? I guess I’ll just have to add “freaking kick-ass photojournalist” to my list or dream jobs.

Life Goal: Live with the tree people for a while. And be a photojournalist.
