off!
hah...
ok..almost almost ALMOST gone!
my dad went crazy with the reflective tape...taping it to every possible surface...so, if anyone needs to know where heather is, just look for the shiny yellow tape-covered gal wandering off....i'm sure it will keep me safe. :-)
so, my pack weighs like twenty BILLION freekin' pounds...rubs my shoulders raw...it makes me feel like some kind of hardcore weight lifter, just trying to get it on...and getting OUT of it--now THAT'S a fiasco...tried to take it off, ended up falling over on my back like a beetle (did my dad's impression of Kafka's Gregor, from "Metamorphoses")...you can see some pics of Mary Lynne trying to help me get up...it took a while, kind of embarrassing...but we had a good giggle....
but hopefully, if i ever get in a life and death situation with an irate kangaroo or pissed off koala, and happen to be knocked over on my back, hopefully i will be able to jump spryly to my feet and sprint to safety. *fingers crossed*
so, i'm working on verrrry little sleep...but all is well...i hope not too much lucidity is required of me today....
i love airports, I love the feeling of transition and movement and reflection that runs rampant in them…..
one of my favorite things to do is sit in an airport with my headphones on, listening to music, and watching people (I think I could just watch people all day, no joke…we are far more interesting than we give ourselves credit for)...you will notice that people often walk to the beat of the music, even though they can't hear it...it's an anomaly, really.
All the things you notice…LOVE IT! What is also fun is keeping your headphones on, but turning the music off and listening instead to what people say around you….devious, perhaps…but it results in many a poetic moment. I promise.
gotta skedaddle…
here is the link to some pics.. just copy/paste, and let the fun begin!!!! muah!

oh my god heather... you're going to die!!
some quotes...
"Your backpack should be proportional to body size (your pack shouldn't be so large that you and couple of your closest friends could fit inside). People under 5'6" inches should try to make sure their backpack in no taller than 22 inches--taller backpacks will hit the back of your head. Try to limit yourself to a pack that is between 2,800-5,000 cubic inches/45-80 Liters, unless you and Godzilla are the same size." (which you are not, just in case you were wondering... shorty...)
Another site I saw said... "fill the backpack and take a one hour walk... if you return still feeling comfortable, it's a good backpack..."
I'm scared for you, honey!! As humorous as those pictures are... i want you back alive!!!

p.s. did you bring snuggles or fluffy?? I can't imagine you going through a semester without them... perhaps its time for them to break away from the nest... grasp their independence... ;)
