Sat in my bed last night drinking with five girls and one boy just talking about sex stories until three in the morning. I feel like that’s just the start to a porno.
So close.

Apparently people hated to go for walks with him because he would stop and look at every tree for like 20 minutes.

The Amazing Underwater Forest of Lake Kaindy
What makes Lake Kaindy truly remarkable is that it contains an underwater forest. Visible on the lakes surface are the tall, dried-out tops of submerged Spruce trees that rise above the water’s surface like the masts of sunken ships. They are the only sign of the amazing frozen forest below the water’s surface.
The water is so cold (even in summer the temperature does not exceed 6 degrees) that the pine needles remain on the trees, even after a hundred years of being submerged. During the winter, the lake freezes and becomes a popular spot for ice diving.
The lake is 400 meters long and is located in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains, about 129 km from the city of Almaty. The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam.
So I’ve put a lot of thought into it, I have lived in the same small town for over twenty years. I have always been tied here because of something, whether it was friends, family, or the fear that I couldn’t live anywhere else; but I have finally grown the balls to get up and leave. I am a successful bitch, I have proved to myself I can live by myself and manage and be perfectly fucking fine. Now I just need to figure out where I want to go.
