Three Snapshots

Arriving at Lake Tahoe

- I woke up in the loft as Sigur Ros' song "Hoppipolla" blared through the speakers of the van. Four of my best friends pressed their faces up against the window. Curious, I did the same. I rubbed the cobwebs out of my eyes to find mountains covered in snow and the most beautiful lake I had ever seen. Summer was good to us that year.

Driving home from Warped tour 2007

- My body ached. I was sunburned so badly that I didn't want to move. I could hear two of my friends in the front seat joking about what they had seen earlier in the day. A song once again coming through the speakers. A song that I still associate with this day. I was in so much pain, but at the same time, this is my fondest memory of that summer.

Trapped in a run at work

- I was stuck in the back of a run. A rottweiler and a great dane, but this time the rottweiler wanted to be my friend. Afraid, the great dane bit my arm and my back. I bled on my shirt. Alone, the timed lights faded to black. I couldn't see a thing, so I crouched in the corner, hearing nothing but the growl and the lunging of the 200 pound dog. With no other options, I called the veterinarian. He sped from his home to get me out.
