Walk the Plank

Watching and thinking as I walk along
Singing my final deadliest song

Things have been rather peaceful the past couple days - I went on an hour long walk yesterday by myself. I put Slipknot in my CD player and just walked around the streets until it ended. I probably walked a couple miles. I don't know though, because I walked around blocks and down side streets and along main streets to no place in particular. It was literally like my feet said 'turn here' and I did. I didn't pay attention to street signs until I needed to head home. All the streets here are numbers, so it's really easy to get around, as long as you can count. (Which, despite poular belief, I can.) It was nice to just be by myself, without just sitting around, and have music with me, and not have to talk to anyone. To be the observer.  Then tonight we went out for dinner (a pizza buffet place, like Chicago Dough but not as good), and I walked home from there. That was a bit more difficult, because I had to cut across some fields and walk along some streets with names that I was not so familiar with, but it was good to walk again. I think I'm going to go on daily (or semi - daily, as time allows) walks around my house. There's lots of fun winding streets for me to get lost on.
 
Also, I started a sewing project today. As some of you know, I'm repainting my room and therefore trying to have an actual color scheme this time. (For those of you who have seen my room before, you know it looks rather childish and thrown together. This is because it was done when I was nine, and things have been added ever since that don't really match, because they fit my taste now.) Anyway.  I'm sewing a duvet cover for my bed - black, lime green, and hot pink (mostly black though). I'll probably be adding white for the triangles which we still need to do... But don't want to bore you with the meticulous details. When it's finished though, you all have to come marvel at my first sewing project, which I am doing with minimal help from my mother. (I do all the sewing and ironing. She cuts the fabric strips because I am a dismal cutter.) I will give you updates as I progress.
 
Well I have been informed that we will be leaving tomorrow morning for St. Paul and spending the night again at the Graves' house. Hannah has to go babysit, so my family, Sabine, and Lauren (their mom) are going to go shopping at Mall of America. (I will get to go to Hot Topic, and Spencer's, and all the other cool stores I want to go to.) I will be home, at my house(!!!), on Saturday evening. This gives me a few days to do laundry and repack before I leave for New York. So you all better get in your phone calls and stuff before I leave again, otherwise I won't talk to you for another week and a half. And nobody wants that! Anyway.
 
Righty-o. Now I must get my e-mailing and instant messaging done before I am kicked off and then have to go pack. Will post again tomorrow if I get the opportunity, but if not will post Saturday (if we don't get home too late and I'm not too tired), or Sunday for sure. Ta!
