nothin’ in life is free

it’s gonna be a long hour. i may go back, but it would take so long. but i wouldn’t mind the walk. i’m really bowl-ed right now. but it makes my coffee taste fabulous. i can’t wait to hear back from nick to get my ring. the trip out there and back (wherever there is) will do me some good. i’m just hoping it’s not too far. like seven hours or sommin. even if it is i’ll prolly still go. i do love driving. ::shrug::

i’m in the addlestone library right now. i feel like i did when i was in elementary school. i was in apt and it was an advanced placement thing (team?) and we got to get out of class twice a week to do really awesome things. we’d do huge research papers where you got to do whatever you wanted. i did one on puppetry because the hunchback of notre dame was new then and ALL the cool kids in fourth grade saw it ::rolls eyes:: anyway, i got to look up the different kinds of puppetry. i made puppets to show  and i showed clips from different movies that displayed it (shadow puppert, marionettes from the sound of music). it was so fun. i also did a paper on detective work (i think that was the year my mom did that dectective themed birthday party for me). i showed how to lift fingerprints with talcom powder and explained the different patterns on the finger that makes everyone’s fingerprints different and i think i did something with disappearing ink and how you makes it show up. carbon paper show where if you rub a pencil over something that the person wrote hard on you couls see exactly what he wrote. we did computer presents too, with a program that let you design buttons, fade in and out designs, record sound for when it shanged, made links so that you hear the recording of what was written on the page. i loved it.

and now, being way off topic, i direct you back to this library i’m sitting in. it reminds me of the downtown library we got to go to to pick out different books for our research. it was huge like this place is, but it was darker when you first walked in. it seemed five stories tall to me and i felt like i was in the book shop in the neverending story, except without the pink dragons and stuff following. but it different on the upper floors. i was looking for one book and it turned out to be in the easy readers section so i almost didn’t go because i was a stubborn high level reader. i thought it’d have something useful for me so i went up to the seperate room it was in. it was filled with sunshine and it had carpets on the ground to make it more comfy for kids. out the window you could look out. it was snowing outside and all the snow was lit up. i also remember we were all clomping around in our snowboots trying to look important while we looked for things for our research paper.

silly us.
