"we've seen this sort of thing in America, where, perhaps, unfairly, many groups have been labelled eco-tourists. It's something I know the FBI are very concerned about".

It’s kind of lonely not having anyone around to make a big deal out of your birthday. Kramer wanted to do something though…. maybe we’ll still just do something tomorrow evening. It’s more the thing like…. you know, plastering doors with stuff, cake at midnight, that sort of thing. I don’t really mind not celebrating. It would just be nice. At least I know Steph bought me a card ages ago and it’s coming in the mail, LOL. And my grandparents did take me out for lunch today. I don’t know, I was always just sad in high school because no one ever decorated my locker. Of course, I did get to my locker before anyone else…. but, I don’t know.

It’s just kind of a bummer.

the earth spits vitriol and fire from the stony abyss of a furnace, the belly of the land
the burning black mass makes fertile the ground
the ashes of death bear forth life
so I learn that from chaos and uncertainty
from violence
from destruction
there is growth, there is hope, there is creation
and the God of all things, who sees land made from fire and green sprouts from gray cinders
will make new in me an abundant land and a sturdy tree
in whose branches He will rest and reign King.
