year of a thousand roommates

This is a kumquat tree. I wish i’d taken a close up of kumquats. They’re little pear shaped citrus fruits with little seeds in them. The wildest part is that you eat them rind and all. I first experienced them in manhattan beach with Coleen and Chauncey, so I knew I could eat them whole, which worked out well because there the tree was, right next to sweetpea. Good times. So I picked one off and popped it into my mouth. Yup, that same sweet/sour familiar taste from days before. It’s wild. It also felt beautiful to just pluck something from nature and put it straight into my body. I love the idea of from earth to mouth and look to do more of it when I settle somewhere eventually.

On a slightly different note, I think the beautiful weather completely screwed with my body and made me feel like i was gettting sick but for whatever reason decided it was probably allergies so when I got to san Diego I bought allergy medicine which is always too expensive and I hoped it would clear up my super runny nose. It did and today I haven’t taken any but am a little sniffly so maybe I couldve ridden it out but oh well. I also can’t tell if my cruminess right now is allergies, sickness or last nights festivities. Maybe a combination of some of them.

But on the upside I met mindblowingly amazing people last night and feel like I have wonderful new friends. Incredible. Tears were shed and hugs were shared after late night tunes. Outstanding. All love. I send mine.
