on second thoughts i'd rather hang around

on the way to yosemite, we were driving into a big grey cloud. i like when the weather reflects my mood. and then the first stop to sightsee, there was a little boy holding a puppy. i pet the puppy, and it got excited and peed on the little boy. welcome to yosemite

becca barker! (i think this is a once-in-a-lifetime usage of that name, but moving on...) i am proud to be the first person outside of your immediate family that talks to you, and hopefully, for the sake of your self-esteem, i am not the last. today in play rehearsal, we finalized the structure of the play, and, in my opinion, it looks very promising. things have changed A LOT. patriots' day was boring. i spent like five hours in the center (although the parade itself was only like two hours (this is because i arrived two hours early and stayed an hour late)). needless to say, i had excellent seating. btw, how do you like the use of a parenthesis within another parenthesis? i enjoyed it. back to patriots day, i spent it mostly in solitude and your description of your surroundings as you typed reminded me of my patriots day. i sat amongst people i didn't know in very cramped quarters, however in my case there was no helpful internet guy nor El Capitan to keep me company. i think i read about monoliths in earth science last year and i'm pretty sure they might be large igneous structures that were formed under the earth and have been brought to the surface by erosion and uplifting. of course, i'm probably incorrect about that though. i'm sorry that everything seems lousy where you are, but hopefully you will take something positive out of the experience, whether it be a profound love of the outdoors or perhaps becoming pen pals with El Capitan or even getting closer with the other members of the savoy family (if that is who you are traveling with). i realize this is rather lengthy, but it is my attempt to show you that people outside your immediate family do talk to you. yeehaw cowboys and cowgirls, bye.

please reciprocate the gesture by responding to one of these two responses. thanks. :-)
benjamin barker needs some appreciation as well (this is definitely the only time i will ever refer to myself in the third person, although i'm not sure it really counts because i'm not actually using my own name (but that's a very minor technicality.)) again, appreciate the double parenthesis.

barker you make me chuckle, here in the yosemite lodge, where strangers walk by and are alarmed that i'm sitting here alone chuckling. it's not bad here, really. it's pretty nice. today i waded through a river. that was new.
when you use double parentheses, the second one is this [ ]. right? or maybe that's only quoting sources. i don't know. i'm ending this.
i got the email with the structure of the play, but i couldn't bring myself to read it. but skimming, i saw that smitten is a disillusioned teenager. oh no.
i'm in the mood for a little movie night this sunday.
i have this feeling you'll be the only one to comment. but that's fine, because yours is long enough that it makes us equal losers.

i believe the fact that i checked this page like ever five minutes to see if you'd responded constitutes me being a loser, but whatever, i accept it.
in response to the double parenthesis, i think that i was correct, but i think you were thinking about math where an equation may be set up like so: [x(y-4)]/3. at least that is my impression of the situation.
i'm glad that my perception that it sucked there was incorrect and i'm glad you've grown a fondness for the natural world, it's healthy.
with regard to that e-mail with the play structure, i'm not sure if it is the fully updated version. one version was typed up after last thursday's rehearsal and then there may have been another made after today's. not important. also, the platform that goes over the pit was completed and set up, it looks dashing if i may say so myself, which i'm pretty sure i can. also, they had many of the stairs that they've made on display. i'm getting excited about the play.
i am way up for a little movie night, and i believe it goes without saying that i'll be taking a cab to the savoy residence (ranch). <- that joke never gets old, never.
if i am the only person to comment, you shouldn't feel sad thinking you have no friends. instead, you should be pleased that you don't have to sift through their shitty and empty comments but rather only have raw, enjoyable, full comments from your truly. i'm sure we'll speak again.... shortly (shortnsweet <-that too never gets old).
p.s. i've adopted your style of the line breaks.
