| April 30, 2003 I wrote a rather lengthy entrie Friday but upon saving it froze the computer. Very annoying thing. This time I will be saving continually as I write. Especially since I'm in the middle of a tropical storm. I've had some realizations. One being that my paranoia is simply my way of keeping myself entertained. When I'm bored I seem to create these scary instances to make things interesting..and I must admit it works. Now that I think about it, though, it is only when I'm alone and bored. Never when I actually have to do something or am with someone. A little conveniant isn't it? I love the human mind.. I had a wonderful time these past five days with my niece Angie, and I must say that I am proud to call Key West home. I only wish I got to show it off to more people. I can't believe I am going to be leaving this neat little place. I'm already feeling homesick. It is odd but I feel a million times more at home here then I ever did/will in Ilwaco. The people here are open and friendly, unlike in Ilwaco where the minute you leave it is as though the door locks behind you. Anyway Angie and I went parasailing, ( where a boat tows you while you are up in the air dangling from a parachute) saw a good movie about skitzophrenia called "Spider," walked around the town, went to sunset celebration, drove to my old neighborhood up in Summerland...it was a great time. Monday morning I went to the library. I pulled into the back parking lot and noted a van full of men in orange jumpsuits (prisoners?) cleaning up the area. When I went inside I saw that it was full of mentally handicapped people. Made for an interesting atmosphere. How fitting that I checked out In Cold Blood and The Bell Jar. So much is new yet I do not feel I can do my current thoughts justice right now. Lets just say I am very happy at the moment. Happy and sad. But good sad. Shall I explain? I would but I don't even know. Just in a weird mood. Hmmph. Maybe tomorrow I won't be so vague. As for now I am going to go so I can begin reading one of my books. Maybe I'll be lucky and the lights will go out..forcing me to read my candleight. Which reminds me. Friday night while babysitting I spent an hour with a little girl making shadow puppets with a flashlight because the lights went out. I recommend that to people because it is suprisingly entertaining. Okay. Wish I could go for a bike ride but it is pouring out. Though I still could..rain is kind of a lame excuse. Back |
