Hewwo, As you can tell from my subject line, my date didn't go very well. She decided that we weren't going to the pictures after all. So we went to a coffee shop, after walking around for a bit, and she asked me what music I like and I said "Belle and Sebastian" and she said it wasn't going to work out because she can't speak to anyone who isn't a rocker, and she said that I was a witch, and that I would have been burnt 500 years ago, and that I was too accomodating and I had no personality, and that I was a goth and a freak (because I was drinking herbal tea) and she didn't like my star on my cheek. And then she said "This hasn't been very good", and I said "No. No, it hasn't". And we sat in silence for a bit. And then I grabbed my bag and ran for it. Literally. But I didn't mean the part about her being greedy and ugly. She wasn't greedy, and she wasn;t ugly at all. But I was listening to that song when I was starting out the post. Today i decided I was going to go on one of my adventures. I decided to go into the forest and make friends with the trees. I saw lots of beer cans littered about, which made me sad, because the forest is a sacred place, where the neds should have respect for the trees. But I did meet some nice trees. You know when you say hi to a tree, and talk to it for a bit, then just stand there, and you get a warm fuzzy burst of energy all through you, and it makes your fingertips tingle? That's a tree way of saying hi back. Trees have souls. They're much nicer than humans. You shouldn't ever break a branch off a tree, or climb it without asking it first. It'll always let you but it's polite to ask. And if you hurt a tree you should always say sorry to it. Or it might be sad. Because trees are magical. I think that the next time I go to talk to trees, I will bring my walkman with B&S in it. So that the trees can listen. Now everyone on sinister thinks I'm insane because I think trees can feel. Oh well...
