“Okay, I’m Cool.”

Have you ever had trouble getting down from climbing a tree? Lol. I went up to Kean yesterday, and we went to the Chinese buffet place, ate, and then hung out in the baseball field next to it. Well, there’s this wood-like area around there, on the other side of the field. I wanted to check it out this week, so I started walking across the field, and I found out that it wasn’t just woods out there. There’s a creek. Okay, more like a slightly smaller, shallow river. It had to be about twenty feet across this thing. And there was a tree near there, where the roots were out of the ground, and they formed almost a seat like structure right above the water. Before that, though, about fifty feet away, was a tree. It had a good foot hold, and I could tell, just because I’m used to climbing trees, that with hand holds, it would have been a really neat tree to climb.

Well, Jason, on the other hand, had found this huge branch. The thing was at least twenty-five feet tall. He broke off part of it in the mini-river, though, and eventually, got the thing down to only being about six feet tall. It will make a really good Gandalf staff. Later, we were trying to find a way to climb that darned tree, because if I could get a hand hold, I could do it, but there weren’t any freakin’ hand holds!! So, Jason found another branch, and he stabilized it between two other parts of the tree. So, I grabbed onto it, put my foot on the trunk, and got myself up and found a place to sit. Then, Jason comes up, and finds his “Lazy-Boy Recliner” branch, and sits on it. And we were just sitting there for awhile, talking, me sort of laying against him, with his arm around my shoulders. But then, he starts, and had already been, teasing me on how short I am. So, I asked him why he was always teasing me about that, why he had been since we got to the field, practically. And I leaned forward, out of his arm, and leaned forward, hugging the thick branch in front of me.

So, then he gets all, “Oh, come on! Don’t be that way.” And he asked me to lean back where I’d been. I asked why, and he said, “Because if I try to lean forward to console you or whatever, I’ll probably fall out of the tree!” Then he elaborates into saying can’t I just see him in the shrubbery down at the trunk of the tree, all poked and whatnot, saying, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it! Now help me out of the tree!” Lol. It was great. Yeah, I hate being teased about my height, but . . . I don’t know. I can’t be angry at Jason.

So, then, he was getting down, and he kept getting those little branch/shrub things stuck on his jeans and jacket as he was going down, and he was exclaiming, “Ahh! Get this thing the Hell off me, it’s a Devil tree! It’s like something out of a Stephen King novel!” Then, as soon as his feet touched the ground, like, five seconds later, he says, “Okay, I’m cool.” And then, later, (hey, I just misspelled “later,” and when you rearrange the letters, it spells “alter.” Cool, huh?) we were up by the bleachers and I saw a baseball. Jason got it out, and asked if I wanted to play catch. Then he asked if I knew how to play catch. Then, he stops, gets this look on his face of, “what did I just say?” and says to me, “Why did I just ask you if you knew how to play catch?”

Yesterday was great. He was in my car at one point, and was checking out the little light I have on the sun visor. (I finally have a name for the flappy thingy!!!) Except he didn’t know it was a light at that point. So, he pulls it down, and it shined right in his left eye. He covers his eye, and is crying, “Geez!! Kate’s car has a death beam!!” We were laughing so hard over that. Over most of yesterday.

OH!!! I completely forgot yesterday, but remembered earlier today. Yesterday was George Harrison’s birthday. He would have been 61. Happy Birthday, George!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And also, it was Sean Astin’s birthday, who played Sam, from Lord of the Rings. He’s 33. Happy Birthday, Sean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I think I’m done. Except, I’d like to thank Melanie and Joey. Melanie wrote an entry for me, and I loved reading it. Thank you for writing it. And Joey gave me his opinion through E-mail, since he doesn’t have a diary on the site, though he reads mine. He’s a surprising person. I met him a few years ago, when I first went up to meet Mike’s family at Christmastime. He was the only one I felt comfortable around, aside from Mike and his dad, and they were mingling with other people. Joey and I just clicked, and we talked the entire time. We’ve had some great times since, though we don’t see one another that much. He’s hyper, he’s energetic, but he’s really cool. And, as I’ve found from reading his E-mails, which are excessively long, thank God!, he has some real depth to him. He’s somebody I can see myself getting close to, and having a long friendship with. Well, I’m already close to him, I think, but you know. In any case, he’s definitely more than just “Mike’s cousin.” He’s a good friend. Hey, Jason? WRITE THE ENTRY, ALREADY!!!! I’ll bring the list back up next Wednesday.

Bye!! J J J
