Hi, I'm Heather. I used to have a blog until I discovered that I really liked the tumblr format. I like a lot of things. Topping that list are writing, reading, video games, music, photography, tea, and my friends, not necessarily in that order.
I suspect that this is going to devolve into me posting youtube videos well after they were cool on the internet, but I'm okay with that.

The engine in my mom’s car burnt out on the highway during an eight hour drive back from Ohio, so my parents had a decision to make. After a minor cardiac arrest over the potential repair bill they decided to cut their losses and buy a new car, which led to the purchase of a brand spankin’ new Honda Civic hybrid. It’s gorgeous, and all the new technology features also mean that I’ve been explaining how to use said car for the past month or so. [I think she’s got the hang of it now.]
About a week after getting acquainted with the new wheels, my parents thought it would be a good time to take it on a solid ride and so I found myself joining them for a jaunt up to Annapolis, Maryland. Annapolis, for those not in the know, is mainly known for its crab. As an avid non-eater of seafood, this means that I was there for mostly the scenery and to take a few pictures. We skipped past the art and dining district and headed to the harbor, which is about as touristy as it is dirty - not so much that it makes it unpleasant, but enough that you notice. The harbor is a smallish area, and you can loop around it rather quickly. It was also blazing hot outside, so we quickly convened and came to a consensus that the trip was going to be a short one.
On the way to search for a restaurant [and air conditioning], I saw this scooter parked on the curb and I knelt down to get a shot. In the midst of attempting to capture the angle I wanted, a flock of seagulls went shooting by overhead and I swear to Thor, y’all, I came this close to coming face to feces with some seagull scat. In my frantic leaping after seeing the splat, the camera got tilted at a rather severe angle and this was the result.
They say that getting poo’ed on by a bird is a sign of luck, but I’m going to say that my real luck was both in narrowly missing said poo and hitting this angle, which I love. Sometime I may go back and edit it, as I suspect it may look good in black and white, but for now, I’m appreciating the composition [accidental as it may have been] enough to throw it up here.
Also, I am appreciating having made it back home, as I additionally suspect that my mother may not have let me back in the car had I actually been shat upon. New car smell > daughter’s well-being. It’s how we roll.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5xuotEVNU1qaxksko1_500.jpg)
