So I don't know if I'll write everyday, or just randomly. Most likely randomly though I'd like to write a lot more. I don't want this to be just pointless thoughts, though. I'd rather it were filled with real ideas. Sometimes I feel like sharing those little, fleeting narratives in my mind--that's usually what I text to people like Michelle or Jackie, because I can--but I tend to let those pass. It's only that they come back again. I'll look at something, think about it, then later when I look at it again I'll be reminded again of what I said to myself earlier...the thought just keeps coming back. I think that's what makes me do things.
Right now, whenever I look outside, I remember that I want to climb the wall, tree, and roof. I'd have to go up the wall first via the barbeque stand or a chair, then I could make my way over to the tree and sit up there. I really want to go on the roof, up to the window next to Kelly's bed and surprise her (freak her out), but if I went on the roof I'd get in trouble. Well, if I climbed up any of those things, Mom'd get mad, but I'm pretty sure someone else who lives around here would see the roof thing and get me into more trouble. They wouldn't be able to see me from the tree I think. I still think I should do it while Kelly's not home, though, to avoid the mom-knowing factor.
Since last summer, Mom's rules (solely for me) include:
-Don't go out and get wet in the rain on purpose. This means no stomping in puddles, standing in the rain when you could be inside, no taking long routes around the school or avoiding trees/eaves. [rule since one rainy day in 6th grade. She now reminds me every rainy day.]
-No climbing on roofs. [since she found out about Laguna and the Spanos Theatre...not sure if she's heard about the church yet]
-No night-hiking. [since she thought Terrace Hill was Bishop's Peak]
-No adventuring on train tracks. [since the adventure along the train tracks...of course]
-No trespassing. [since I ripped my pants on barbed wire during the train tracks adventure]
-No climbing trees. [since we climb trees]
um, I think that's all so far. I still do those things. It makes me sound pretty bad I think but it's not, I promise. I'll try to NOT do them if she specifically lists them before I go out...I think that's fair; it's really all a parent could ask for since I'm not directly disobeying.
