I really, really like this post.

Your tactic of always having a destination is brilliant, I'd say. If you made sure to always choose a new, not-home target upon every arrival, you'd hit the coast before a week was up. Or the border. Hehe :)

it sure would be fun to arbitrarily drive from place to place till i got to a coast or border:) maybe avoid the interstates, keep to roads that go through lots of little towns, stop whenever i felt like where i was seemed especially pretty or interesting... that'd be great. *makes mental note*

It's always nice to have a place that you can go back to, a place that's a first home. It's always amazing how being in a place can make you feel younger again. It always amazes me how we never stop being the people that we were. No one ever really grows up. They just change.

...and it amazes me how we don't stop changing, no matter how old we get.

another post I love, so much, really.

i can't understand this sentence: i caught myself about a block into the walk going far too fast.

could you express the sense in one or two different sentences?thank you.:)

helenmelon June 9 2004, 22:24:37 UTC

sure.

after about a block, i realized i was walking too fast.

a block into my walk, i realized i was walking too fast.

does that make more sense?

hijoe June 10 2004, 10:38:01 UTC

i caught myself about a block into the walk going far too fast.

if i pick up the main body of the sentence,of course,it will not be a nice sentence as good as the original.
if i want to express the main idea,can i say like this:

i caught myself go far too fast.
or
i caught myself too fast?
or....

what does "caught" and "go far" mean?

take your time.:)

hijoe June 10 2004, 11:00:05 UTC

i see.
i catch/caught myself going far too fast!
i can writh another sentece such as: catch/caught myself doing too much.

catch foll. by doing?

is that right?
