Will it bounce? Will it bounce?

Thomas's violist friend, Ben, after bouncing a basketball against the wall of the school gym at CYMC. He's watching it. He has red hair and a black hat.

I thought he was a girl when I first saw him - he needed a haircut. Then he got a haircut. Please don't hurt me, Ben!

Today I was very, very tired. I was rather upset all day, too. I still like snowboarding, but I think the hour is affecting my brain. After having a very upsetting first part of the afternoon (I hate, hate, hate my singing voice - primarily because it wasn't available when I wanted it to be and I squeaked and squawked my way through a sightreading excercise - wah!) I went for a run in my new gear.

Well, I have to put sunscreen on a lot more of me now, mostly my shoulders and ankles. My brother said I looked like a maniac and a geek. I don't care; I think I look good. I think people are looking at me, though, and I don't like that. I ran a lot more than usual, and I wasn't as tired as usual by halfway. I found myself playing Together for Tomorrow on my internal iPod, which means in my head, which was nice. When I got to the duck pond I waited a long while, sitting in the shade and watching the four ducklings I could see. They're getting bigger! As I relaxed again, my iPod turned off and it was very quiet - except for the masses of distant traffic, the jet airliner far overhead, and the zillions of cheeping birds in the trees. Well, I felt peaceful except for the jet.

We had Panago for supper! Complete surprise! After supper I almost had a nap. That is, I lay down on the couch (and when my brother was pestering me, my bed) and shut my eyes and was generally tired. In a better way than before. Like sleepy instead of tired.

It's very hot out now. I think it can stop getting hotter anytime, but it's only May/June. Just wait until August. -_-7 Oh, no. And Calgary will be worse, won't it?

I hope all the links work as well as they can. I will go through sometime and check them all, but right now this instant I don't have the time.
