sleeping wins

sleep won out over getting up early to make it to the 'group' hike. i haven't slept well this week. i had this dream with dave topping and this river and the front cover of the washington post with this giant photo of an aerial shot of a parade with yellow ducks and floats and there was a float missing so someone put in a picture of a black rubber duckie...you know those ones with the devil horns...

that said i am already getting ready to go hiking on my own in my backyard. lots of trails.

a big part of me didn't want to go because i have a preconceived notion that the people that are on this website are just not weird enough for me. i know this sounds god awful and i have some relatively 'normal' friends. really? normal friends? i don't have any normal friends!

i mean normal to the rest of the world.

i would rather listen to my headphones and think and hike on my own than try making conversation with people i have nothing in common with. isolationist? probably. pretentious? oh yes. judgmental....a little bit.

i have gone out i have met people here. lots of them....and still...

pretty much all the cool peeps i have met live not in basel. i've usually been a bit of a hermit and a loner so i am not kicking myself for not going. so there!
