Well, here I am in Sevres. The night in Paris was not what I expected. Soon after I arrived some random guy decided that he is now my best friend and he must "help" me by doing everything he can to stop me from wandering off into the night. And he just kept going on about how much he likes me and how he cares about me. It was fun talking to him for a while and I guess I wouldn't mind being friends with him, but argh. I had a plan, dammit. The plan was to keep wandering around the city until morning. To see the city at night. Alone. In Paris. At night. I had been wanting to do this for weeks. And then my new friend decided to save me from the horrors of doing exactly what I wanted. I managed to lose him a little after 5 a.m.. I took the metro to Cite and spent a while walking around looking at things, but eventually decided that I wasn't really enjoying it much and that I probably wouldn't be able to enjoy any sightseeing today. I needed some rest anyway. It had been a long day and it was only 7:30 a.m..
It took me about an hour to get here, including finding the way (I had been expecting a sign that wasn't actually there. This complicated things somewhat). It seems like a nice place except for one thing. There seems to be some kind of festival in town and, even with my window closed, I can hear the music, or rather what remains of music after it passes through a couple of walls. It's giving me a headache.
As for my plan, I'm going to do it anyway. It's going to cost me another sleepless night, but right now I feel like I should do it even if it costs me my life. I will not be happy here until I do it. Specifically because someone tried to stop me.
