The sun is pretty low right now, but it's the perfect time of day to me personally to be with a couple of friends that I really admire. I have a hard time going out and partying, where as with them, they are marvelously outgoing and it is easy for them to go out. This is hard on the guy I'm seeing because he is a social butterfly and I am a shy turtle with a thick shell. But, thankfully they have me go out just us and I don't feel like I am going to explode from the inside out.
My boyfriend's roommate and his female friend go and rock climb a lot, but today we went to the park and picked out a couple of close-together trees to set up a slack line and goof around. It's just cool enough outside to wear a light long sleeve and pants, or even shorts. I bought a couple of drinks of us to take. I wanted to try a Synergy, but it's really weird tasting. I wouldn't say it's bad, but then again I have been refraining from drinking it because I don't think I like it, but I want to keep drinking it.
We set up the slack line and started taking turns trying to walk across without falling. Soon we made up rules and fake settings for our game. This time, I am not the onlooker, but I figured I can write about this,
We pretended that there's lava on the ground and if we fell we would get burned up as if we where in elementary school still. I imagined a sketchy board and rope bridge that you always see in movies that is super narrow that you have to cross.
This time instead of hearing the children on the playground screaming and falling, it was us. A group of twenty year olds, and remember my group is very loud. But honestly I didn't care. We're in a park.
There were some people at the park today, The jogger, the family sitting by the pond. There weren't very many people in the parking lot which matched the amount of people that decided to be at the park at this time.
We are still here, but just sitting. I'm always itchy where I'm sitting on the grass. What else to do today?
