Well, I can honestly say that I have little boy knees right now... due to true adventuring. Yes! Actually kind of makes me happy... because it means i'm doing really cool stuff.
See??
Ok, you're right... that's not really me... its this other really cool girl and you can check out more amazing scaefer photography here.
But the point is, that could be me... because that is actually how i'm bashing up my knees... rock climbing people. Oh so cool. Seriously. Best sport ever. No joke. We don't joke about these things. It's that serious.
Yesterday, in 90 degree weather (because its that cool), a really awesome boy (aka boyfriend!) and I went to Index and climbed lots of rocks. This is something I've been getting into more and more... and I hope to get really good at it (Marginal Karma... I'm coming for you) because its so awesome. 5.15's people. That's all I'll say.
For now, I'm on like 5.8ish's during the day, but recently learned that 5.7's during the night with a headlamp is kind of scary... but also really cool, actually. I should have gone for it more... but I was a wuss... which means I'll have to conquer it eventually.
Regardless, it is awesome. And therefore, knees, go ahead and get destroyed. Right now both of my knees have big bruises on them... my right knee in particular is actually kind of gross looking... swollen (although that could be from my actual knee injury, blah), scrapped up, a pretty purple color... which I suppose is appropriate because it matches my climbing shoes. So there! See, I'm still a girl... just doing really really cool stuff.
Basically just loving life right now. I feel spoiled. And lucky. And I won't take it for granted. Because its that special.
