what I did over vacation
--attempted to roast marshmallows in the oven (using the "broil" feature).
--rode my bike in the middle of the night and looked into my neighbor's blue-glowing windows.
--ate Cornflakes for dinner.
--called a boy i like and listened to him listen to my silence.
--sat on my roof and watched the stars glow in their sockets. Didn't see any UFOs.
--drew the first page of a graphic novel...still working on page number two.
--threw a funeral for my betta fish, Kabuki (He was four years old. I buried him in my mom's rose garden).
--counted my bottle cap collection. Lost count. Started all over again.
--considered 2007.
Two and seven add up to nine (the atomic number of flourine). In Mayan mythology, there were nine levels to the underworld. It's lucky in Chinese and unlucky in Japanese and the number of lives that a cat uses up on the planet.
I'm still waiting to see how it turns out.
