So, after eight years (or so), I finally got to go camping again. alynna and I went to this Otherkin meet called Mythicalia. It was the best weekend I ever had in my entire life. The campground we went to was in Redwood City. I forget the name currently, but it was a really nice place, and I felt close to home there. (home, as in real home, and not scatramento. not the asphalt wasteland.)

On Friday night, I finally got to see a fox. This was the first time I actually saw one in real life, and I was really happy to have seen it. I have also managed, for the first time in months, to stay up for more than 24 hours. Of course, I crashed an hour later, after me and Alynna were trying to look for the fox, and waiting for it to return.

Saturday, we had a whole bunch of panels – one involving artwork, one about energy work in the forest, leaving offerings to the spirits out there, etc. One most notably being Alynna’s panel about animal spirituality. She pretty much went over everything about it. After that, we went into the forest to acquire some energy, to recharge. Alynna had a nice long conversation with the forest, I spent most of the time listening and feeding off of the forest’s energy. As an offering, we left some crumbs of a strawberry wafer, the next morning.

On Sunday afternoon, we went down to San Fransisco, and walked through the park, and visited a couple shops there. One awesome thing we saw in the park was a drinking fountain, for dogs. That was just amazing right there. At the music shop, we bought several CDs and DVDs, namely A Perfect Circle, Ayumi Hamasaki, and several movies – one of them being a DVD of Japanese Inuyasha episodes. After that, we went to Berkeley, and visited Shailai, whom had a bag full of shiny objects, one of which she gave to me, and I now have it on my desk, next to my phone charger.

This was quite an enjoyable weekend, and I still feel charged up. This beats any other event I had ever gone to. And I will go to it again next year.
