Written for @drarrymicrofic 's song prompt "Strawberry Blond" by Mistki. G | 350
A Bottle of Summer
The wind glazes the field, bringing along the smell of grass and wild flowers on its journey. The sky is high and blue, the kind of sky only appears in the summer. Everything seems to ring in tune with the cicadas' song.
In the car, the radio is broadcasting your favourite song. You sing along it, loud and off tune. I complain, despite secretly loving it. You sing even louder. I narrow my eyes and then I sing too, at the top of my lung. You rise your volume. By the end of the song, we are both hoarse and grinning.
I want to bottle this moment. I will keep it on the bookshelf in my office, so that whenever life wears me out, I can open it and relive this summer.
You say I'm too attached to the past. I beg to differ: if I were, I would have still hated you. But maybe you have a point. I can't seem to let go of any seconds we spend together, whether it's bad or good.
But who can blame me? Because tomorrow, next month, next summer, you may not be by my side anymore. And that thought kills me.
It could be just my insecurity. It could be the damn depression which took you months to pull me out of. Or, it could be how sometimes, you look at her for too long. I know you're imagining the life you could have with her if you didn't choose me, how easy and peaceful it would be. I'm dreaded when you will wake up and realise that I'm not worth giving up that life.
"Stop overthinking," you say, eyes on the road. It's long and sinuous.
"I'm not!" Once glance at the mirror shows me that my lie was useless: my cheeks are flaming.
You huff. "I don't know why I love how difficult you are."
I close my eyes, refusing to look at the mirror. I know my whole face is red. "You have weird taste."
"That I do," you laugh.
Maybe I don't need to buy a Pensive.

Invader zim car trip headcanons because i’m bored.. :p
Zim constantly looks out the window and studies EVERYTHING on the road. Zim wants slushies all the time, and he has to be eating something every so often. Zim also gets carsick easy.
Gir snores when he sleeps on car trips, and if he’s not sleeping he’s like an IPad kid. Gir is just watching weird content on his IPad. He’s the type to ask- “Can we get Mc Donalds?” And they just have to take him or he’ll cry.
Dib gets tired really quick on car trips… and he’s a HEAVY sleeper when he can actually rest. If he’s not sleeping- he’s listening to music or talking about paranomal / school stuff.
Gaz is constantly playing her games on a car-trip and doesn’t like to be bugged about it. If she’s not playing on her games than she’s drawing random piggies or stuff that goes along with her music.
Prof. Membrane is just driving. He plays whatever music the passengers want, and if there is no music than he talks to Dib about his paranormal stuff. (He doesn’t enjoy it that much, but he’s certainly trying.)
I might draw fanart for this idk

road trip slide show!
It’s not the destination, but the journey” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Road-trip to view the 2024 total Solar Eclipse in Missouri, USA was packed with experiences (only 3 minutes of which was viewing the total eclipse). See/read the slide show under the cut!
Tumblr media
Our journey started on Saturday and we expected to spend at least 5-6 hours in the car each day (it is 12 hours drive time to our eclipse viewing location in Missouri). Actual time spent on road each day was around 9 🤣 - so our greatest effort on the math figuring out how long our days would be. Ufda, getting to your Airbnb at 9pm each day is exhausting.
There are three humans and one animal on this trip, myself, husband, friend, and friend’s dog.
First event we experienced: the Mississippi River!
Now this needs some background - I live 3 minute drive away from the Mississippi in Minnesota. Could walk to it if I wanted. I’ve been to the headwaters in Itasca, MN and the delta in Louisiana. I cross this river almost daily for the grocery store or to see family … it’s like a big part of life where I live.
We arrived in Guttenberg, IA to Lock and Dam #10 and I’m like - ooh big river! Hey guys, which River is this?
🤔
Yeah, the big River here in this part of the United States is …. The Mississippi River. 🤦
Laughs all around - we enjoyed a short walk near the lock and dam, enjoyed all the fun street names, found a bathroom, and got back on the road.
Tumblr media
By the way - one of our road trip companions was very cute and a very good puppers for the entire trip. Just amazing!
Tumblr media
So day two - husbeast (husband) loudly stated a desire for a roadside attraction during today’s driving. The world’s biggest something, or weirdest whatever …. Something cool. Our friend did some kick butt research and found …. American Giants museum in Atlanta, Illinois. A mere 15 minutes off the hwy; and we were incredibly fortunate cause it was the first weekend they were open on Sundays too!
Upon entering the main downtown area we were greeted by: Paul Bunyon (hot dog man)
And our Minnesota hearts were so happy to see this large giant friend who is also a Paul Bunyan - but different name spelling cause of copyright issues 🤣🤣🤣 (or so the sign stated).
The dog was NOT a fan of hot dog Paul Bunyon man, but we were!

And the museum - y’all it was top notch! A single room, but like, FABULOUS write ups for the history of the Big Friends fiberglass works. Just awesome. The volunteers - also top notch. So friendly and happy to chat.

And if you’re anywhere near there, Memorial Day weekend they are getting one of the last remaining 6 Texaco giants!
Back on the road and onto our next stop which was ….St. Louis and the Gateway Arch.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And guess what! We saw a BIG RIVER! Hey guys, which River is this ….. it’s the Mississippi, still. 🤣🤣
Tumblr media
Back on the road to Union, MO to rest up for ECLIPSE DAY!
Many many many friends and family informed us that the traffic TO the eclipse would be pretty good … but leaving the eclipse location would double or triple driving time. WORTH IT!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Many people have written about viewing an eclipse, how it’s an amazing experience. The highlights for me?
When the sun is totally eclipsed you are able to see SUNSET colors at the horizon EVERYWHERE - which is just like …. I love clouds and sunsets and that was AWESOME
Again, totally eclipsed you can see STARS (maybe it’s a planet?) - like the brightest starts are visible!
as the sun returns, the sky opposite the sun looks like twilight, while the light illuminating your front is like day. It’s wild.
total drive time on eclipse day:
1.5 hours from Airbnb to eclipse viewing spot
4 hours to travel same distance away from eclipse
Oh, and side note, traveling to our overnight after the eclipse, we crossed the Mississippi again. “Hey guys, what big river is this?” 🤣
The eclipse was a real highlight of the trip. But not the only highlight.
On the final day of travel, our picnic lunch location took us to a small town in Iowa. As we turn off the highway we see “Welcome to Riverside, IA” and immediately husbeast is exclaiming …
“We’re going to the future birthplace of CAPTAIN KIRK!” We’re huge Star Trek fans in this house - and we met the friend traveling with us thru a Star Trek podcast group many years ago. She’s been to Trekfest in Riverside before, and highly recommends attending. It’s a sweet gathering of wonderful Star treky people … and the few locals we spoke to in Riverside were very friendly!

Fabulous trip. on final count, we crossed the Mississippi 4 times, and I asked which River it was only 3 times. Go me.
Tumblr media
It wasn’t just about the destination, but the journey along the way.

Now that I have a car, the only thing keeping me from packing up shop and moving across the country is the fact that I spent all my money on my car. Catch-22.
