1) Is summer a break for you, or is it busier? No such thing as summer break for me. In fact this is about as busy as it gets right now.
2) What's next for your travel plans? I have a wedding I'll be driving to this month, and next month a job trip. The job trip will be nice because I'll be stopping in between to see family.
3) What have you spontaneously done lately? Tried to see the northern lights. We only got a a faint view of them because we couldn't find a place without much light pollution. I made the mistake of letting my friend do the navigating because he grew up here and said he had seen them a bunch before, but he had no idea where to go somehow. I suggested multiple specific places for us to go and he just didn't seem to understand that for me to look at the lights I needed to actually stop the car somewhere. Eventually he finally admitted he didn't actually know where he was making me drive lol. I gave him 4 options and he was like, uh just go straight... little more.. uh... little more... I'm never letting him navigate for me again lol. I finally just stopped at the first safe turn I saw, which was a small dead end street, we got to see a thin band of discoloration in the sky, nothing very colorful because the houses were all completely lit up still, and then a few minutes later an angry 20 year old walked the 200 feet from his house to kick my car because suburbanites are wild.
At that point I decided that this was not a particularly magical experience and just went home. The weird faint line in the sky was kind of cool though.
4) What's your favorite way to unwind after a long day? Video Games
5) What's in your pockets? Nothing as usual. Sometimes it's keys.
