Writer's Wing

If you will allow me any of my own wants, emotions, beliefs or actions, then you open yourself, so that some day these ways of mine might not seem so wrong. To put up with me is the first step to understanding me. Not that you embrace my ways as right for you, but that you are no longer irritated or disappointed with me for my seeming waywardness. -from the introduction of "Please Understand Me"

Traverse City Fun

I am alive. Well, of course I am, you say. Not quite. That was called into question two days ago, when i went sledding. Let me see if I can show how these hills were set up...The first hill doesn't look incredibly steep, but it's slick and you go really fast. It would be like this > if you use your imagination and erase the lines on the bottom that are going the wrong way (just don't draw on the screen, that would be bad). That hill is lots of fun and not really dangerous. The second hill, however, is much taller and goes more like this \ in other words, straight down. i went down the first one once, then me and amy trekked to the top of the second hill. we looked down and saw our mom, emily, and the entire other family there all watching us. we however, were getting nervous. "we're going to die, i'm going to die" but we went down anyway, so fast that we flew off of our sleds at some point and just began rolling and sliding. we ended up going down that hill three more times, and even emily was brave enough to (she even went down backwards, but thats because she thinks thats less scary). I will upload pictures once we get home. my mom took practically two rolls of film while we were there, then took them to a one hour photo place yesterday. i might upload the picture of my grandmas cat and my perfectly decorated sugar cookies as well.

The only people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who can.

sledding can be fun if you got a good hill. i remember in my old house our whole yard was a hill... and near the bottom there was a earthen ramp of about 1 foot tall. that was always fun... then one year we packed snow on top of that to make the ramp bigger... :) it was about 3 feet high and you would ramp about 5 feet off the ground... we had about all the kids in the neighborhood at our house sledding... after hours of doing that, the trail got icey and you flew down the hill. it would hurt when you land.... i remember i hit the ground once and landed on my butt so hard i had to lay there for a few minutes cus it hurt to move.... but it was fun... just some sledding memories.... that hill that you say that goes straight down sounds fun.... c ya at school monday
