Float on.

Jun 29, 2004 20:07

It was a rainy day outside today, so I decided that I would go for a walk. I looked over at my umbrella and shook my head. "No, I will not give into you today," I said to it, scowling. I somersaulted out the door as my fish blupped in satisfaction of how much he loved me. "I love you too!" I yelled as I hopped out the door.

The rain was intense. I could barely keep my clothes on as the wind was so strong, so I let him take them away. They were only about one hundred dollars altogether. So, I continued my walk in my underwear and as I looked around, I realized that no one else was walking. "That's odd," I said aloud. A car pulled over next to the road and asked me if I was alright or needed help. I guffawed. "Do I look like I need help?" I cried, "It's such a beautiful day." They closed the door quickly and off they drove.

Nearby was a pond so I jumped in. It was quite cold, but I felt like floating, so that I did. I floated away a good half an hour of my excellent day.

Up again I got and then I saw someone else walking and I said to them, "My float was fabulous, thank you." I know they hadn't asked, but I wanted to tell them anyways.

Then I walked on home and dried myself from the rain and the pond. My father was on the phone and he kept crowding my space. I don't even live with him anymore, but every time he said a word, he had to pace and every time he came in my direction, I felt crowded and my nerves would tense up and I leaned in the opposite direction. "You're crazy as ever," he said, almost sadly as he hung up the phone.

"I like my space," I replied quite validly.

Float on.
