Shaku showed me this and I felt like sharing. Read the first comment by Serafina as well if you'd like.
I needed this pick me up, I really did. I've found myself falling into more distrust and resentment of people in general lately. I don't like disliking people but I've seen too much bad things lately. But this shows sometimes people can be good and kind. Some people get better too. I just need to remember not to over look the good and stop focusing only on the bad.
If you have stories or links to share please do.
For those who might get offended there are a couple of guys in their underwear. ZOMG not that! Just thought I'd put that warning here before someone has a cow. XD

I'll be out camping with friends until Sunday the 24th! It should be fun!
There aren't any dangers for me to come across that you guys should worry about, unless you think I'm likely to drown in the rain or get attacked by a goat. The event organizer requested that we not bring alcohol, so nobody should worry about me waking up in a ditch with a dead rabbit and my underwear over my head. I don't like getting drunk anyways :/
HEAVEN FORBID but if something bad WERE to happen to me, Kasmir or Pretzil will see it on my Facebook and I trust that they would accurately relay this information.
If I'm super lucky, I might be able to see deer! The camping site didn't list them as any of the wildlife we'd be likely to see (it's just coyotes, squirrels, birds, and MAYBE some goats..) but either way, I have a total of 3 awesome books about deer that I'll be reading. I plan on gathering delicious informations from these deer books and them compiling them into some awesome lump of informations to share with you guys on tumblr.
More news about that when I get back!
CIAO! See you guys in a few days! c: <3 <3 <3 <3
(on Sunday morning before everybody starts packing up, I plan on waking up early and making little stick people a la The Blair Witch Project and scattering them around as a prank, lol. I'M ONLY DOING IT IN THE MORNING AS WE'RE LEAVING BECAUSE OTHERWISE THAT WOULD BE SOOOOOO MEAN)

...but you're the same.
Once, in a long line of legacies, Bylah had watched white things float about, little bits of snow.
He'd always liked the white - because it was so much of what he wasn't, something simple, sure, pure and clean.
Bylah had never thought himself unkind - he never thought of emotions like whittled worries, something stirring in his head, but...
Nine had been white. Nine had been the first innocent thing Bylah had found worth his while.
And now, now, he watched the white wither, fade - it reminded him of parchment paper, of the way the old man's eyes go rhummy.
And one day, a once white thing waltzed by, and
"'I like you calm, as if you were absent:
distant and saddened, as if you were dead.'"
The deer paused, pondered, and turned his head to consider the horrific filth of the Beast.
Was that how the world saw him? As absent, gone? He cast the summer-sky of his eyes down, frowned, wondered what the world was coming to.
"I was absent," he agreed, well enough. "I was, perhaps, but the passing clouds.
"But now I am here - for here is where I need to be. What if I left my lovers? I'd rather be here, on the ground, than up high in the sky, leaving behind those that need me."
