passing through unconcious states

I stole a car today.

Not really.

I wanted some driving action, so I drove my mother to the library. It's not that far so I didn't just go straight home. I kept on driving after I passed my house. It wasn't until I was on my way to "Betroit" that my mom made me turn around. One of these days, when no one's looking, one of the cars will vanish from our garage, along with me.

So I decided that I would start reading again, hence the library visit. I used to read books books books all the time but I stopped about a year ago. Can't remember why. Oh well. Hooray.

Yesterday I was clinging to my life while clinging to a tree trunk.

Well, not really.

Ally was helping me with my photo assignment. I had to take self portraits, so I needed someone to actually take the pictures. I thought it would look cool if I climbed this tree in my backyard. It's a big tree, and someone a long time ago nailed boards to the trunk so you can climb it like a ladder. Well I stepped onto the first one and it was wiggly. A few seconds later it fell, so I had to cling onto the trunk. It's not like I would've gotten hurt if I'd fallen, but it sounds cooler if you think that I risked my life.

Alright alright so check this. Last night I was on a little walk when it was just starting to get dark outside. A few blocks from my house, there was this other person walking towards me. He/she/it said "Carly!" and then it turned out to be my neighbor/teacher. She said "I recognized you before I could see your face.. because you have a really recognizable walk"... or something. And now I'm crazy self-concious about the way I walk. Doesn't everyone look the same when they walk? Do I strut? Or limp? Or have a pirate swagger? Who freaking knows?!

But it's like when someone tells you that you say a word funny, then you can't say it without thinking about it first for the rest of your life. (Ex: a girl in eighth grade told me I said "chocolate" more like "chah-klit" which, apparently, was wrong. I have never said it without thinking since).

Bah.
