Sinister: I would protect you from beasts

[Today I am hungover but cuddly as a bunny anyway]

Good morning darlings,

I hope you all slept well.  Last night I had the good fortune to bump into 
my friend Kate who invited me for vodka drinks, the effects of which I am 
still feeling.  In a good way though.  Whenever I have been drinking the 
night before I rarely sleep past eight the next morning.  So I'm sitting 
here with some pretty astounding bedhead and finally getting around to 
writing to you all.

I've been back at school for two weeks now, after having gone to California, 
and then to Iceland.  The California trip was with my family, meaning my 
brother and I had a great time goofing off and my mother ruined it by being 
miserable and trying to make the trip a Wholesome Family Vacation.  Not only 
that but she gave me crap about drinking too much soda.  Yet, I did get a 
picture of myself taken caressing Wayne Newton's star on the walk of fame 
(which we had to park in front of a porn shop to get to) so I guess I won 
out in the end.

Iceland was amazing.  I partied with Russian in Reykjavik on New Year's Eve. 
  The Russians were fantastic.  They shared with us what they had, bought us 
pizza, drove us to the mountains and the blue lagoon, and hardly even tried 
to woo us.  On the whole the trip was lovely and astounding.  Unfortunately 
it was marred by my supposed best friend doing something mindnumbingly crap 
to me at the end of it.  We still need to have a talk.

We did bump into sigur ros in Keflavik on the way home.  They were all 
smiley and polite.  I want to take them home and cook them a good meal.

On a vaguely content related note, I have been taking belle and sebastian 
for walks with me.  It's been very solitary lately with the butt-biting cold 
we've been having, but I like it all the same.  I love to walk around campus 
listening to music, singing along ever so softly.  I love to disappear into 
the trees and buildings and people who don't know me.  Belle and sebastian 
is good for that because it makes me smile, and when I'm walking amongst 
people who don't know me I try to smile at them, in the hopes that I can 
make a stranger smile.

Now that you've scrolled and skimmed I'll do my usual begging for some kind 
of Boston meet up.  I realize that the aforementioned butt-biting cold makes 
picnics a lot less fun, so maybe we could go to the aquarium, or museum of 
science, or sushi and karaoke.  I'll even be in charge if you want.  Email 
me, call me (picnic) mommy, and I'll lift a car to save your life (because 
mothers can do that when their young are endangered)

Love and fireworks,
Kara
