Really trully I did! Because I've gotten so enthusiastic, my parents pulled out their old telescope, in which I totally did not remember we had, and for the last two nights I've gone star gazing for about an hour and a half. The first night was rather suckish, I struggled alot with the telescope and looked like a nub.

But tonight, I hit some AWESOMENESS. Instead of just looking at the moon, because the night before it was the only farkin thing I could zoom in on, I struggled and found a good way to zoom into stars, even though it still took like five-ten minutes to do so.

The first 'star' I find, I zoom in, only to find its moving! Every minute or so I had to adjust the telescope or else it would have dissappeared beyond my sight of reach. It was red, with blue streaks coming from behind it as it went. Now, this telescope doesnt zoom in well AT ALL, so all this detail was probally within a couple grains of regular salt in size, but I could still see it. I felt so AWESOME, I was just stoked!! I found a comet, a COMET! With this telescope that I dont think is very top notch anymore, a comet! Zooming through the sky, probally thousands of miles an hour, thousands and thousands of miles away!

Then after zooming into a couple more bright stars, I eventually looked back at the moon, and found something ASTONISHING when you look at it. Did you know if you push the telescope just slightly away from the moon, WITHOUT zooming in, you can litterally see THOUSANDS of stars that are normally invisible to the naked eye. I was STUNNED, it was the most beautiful thing I've EVER seen. It was probally simular to being in the deepest darkest most desolate part of the country and being able to look up at the sky zoomed in. It was awe inspiring.

Did you know that when its very dark like that, like very far away from the city, you can see an inner arm of the Milky Way? Its true guys! Thats what I want to see. I want to see that arm of the Milky Way and just sit out there and watch the sky in the quiet night. (Hopeless romantic of astronomical knowledge and exploration)

ALSO I HAD A TOTALLY WEIRD DREAM LAST NIGHT

Throwing this in here because it very much fits the mood. Okay, so because I'm so INTO astronomy, I had a rather interesting/terrible/wtf space dream last night. So it was me, my mom, and my two friends Abby and ~aceofstars all sitting on one of the top floors of this large building, the largest building in this city we happened to be in, because we could easily see most of the horizon. Did I mention this city was on Jupiter? Yeah, its totally possible. So we're living on Jupiter in this city that somehow has a solid surface and no one was crushed by Jupiters inner gravity. Though the sky was orange, so I guess it sort of fits? Anyway, we all looked in a rather crappy mood, and I quickly realized thats because a massive meteor was going to crash into the city and there was no hope of escaping, so we were all together. I dont know where the rest of my family was. Anyway, I watched the meteor crash violently into the ground, but instead of doing a massive life destroying explosion that would have both destroyed the city in an instant, it created this rumble, and a massive shockwave that exploded the ground, litterally creating a wave of rock and dirt that musta been twenty feet high, that slammed through the buildings, rocking them like a rubber ball floating on a lake. Somehow we remained intact. Then I woke up. SEE? I'm doing this stuff too often and I'm getting scary dreams. BUT I CANT HELP MYSELF.

Anyway, I'll be leaving on the 8th or so for Illinoise, and be back around the 22nd-23rd. This'll be my last journal for sure before I leave. Have fun while I'm gone guys! And also, expect Mortifer to update while I'm away. I'm going to work on a couple pages tomorrow, and eventually a two week update schedule will be announced on the main site. Dont expect too many pages, I still have work tomorrow and friendly 4th of July celebrations with my friends. So bye now!
