Madison's Birthday
I took my little sister out for her 12th birthday. We originally were going to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, but my step-father is afraid of black people apparently, and wouldn't let me take her to hotlanta. So it seemed like we would be forced to see a movie. That turned out to be a bad idea at the Town Center AMC because everyone north of the perimeter seemed to be there. We decided to try something new: ice skating. I've always tried to get my friends to go with me to Ice Forum, but no such luck. Madison and I lace up and step out onto the ice. Madison falls down immediately, but I glide with confidence across the freshly shaven ice. As the night progressed I realized I was pretty damn good. Plus, I had a really fun time...skating and bonding with wee Madison. I think i'm going to make a habit out of it. It helped me clear my mind of things. I also realized that Madison and I are interested in the same sports. She played tennis at age 8? So we're playing tennis in Ellijay next week.
The only complaint from the evening is that she said my voice was annoying? WTF. I guess I should take a 12-year-old too seriously, but it kind of hurt my feelings. We talked about religion and I think I might have made a mistake by telling her my views on the world, and the lack of god. I met up with Diana this evening at WaHo around 11:45P and she reasoned that it was a good idea for children to have religious bearings to build values. I hope I haven't crashed hers.
It's about 4AM. I have to be up at 8:45AM for work and I just can't seem to sleep for some reason. I think...i'm thinking too much.
I'd love to go ice skating with someone! It's 6 bucks during the day, 7 in the evening, and if you don't have skates it's an extra 3 bucks.
