me is in de midwest!!!! (bah but it is windy out here!)

lots of wind, lots of rain, lots of cold, and yet lots of fun! hehe, me has stolen the sister's lappy, muahahahaaaaa! she is ushering at a concert right now. i've been having fun. thursday was a crazy day. (that would be yesterday, now wouldn't it???? so weird, feels so long ago.) i went to bed shortly after 11 the nite before, bad i know..... and i didn't get to sleep until more like 11:30, and woke up at 5:30 in the morning, after a very fitful nite, ha, not that fun. didn't actually get up til 6, and did not eat breakfast.......... so bad. but gosh i love planes! it wasn't quite the same feeling this time as back last April when i flew for the first time. (at least in real life, i fly alllll the time in my dreams! hehehe!) this time i was with my Mom, it was different. i really like independence, it was awesome! it's just kinda different when i'm all by myself, somehow i'm more confident than when i'm with other people. anyway, i love flying!!!! gosh it's so much fun! i love the takeoff, how as the plane starts going down the runway, it gives this jerk as it starts going, and it goes fast right away, and just feels like it's pulling itself forward almost faster than it's really able to go. not like it's propelling itself, but pulling itself, and for a split second when it gets in the air, it feels like it will drop down again, yet it stays up, and there's this feeling that it can't possibly stay up, it has to fall down again, the whole time it's dragging itself higher and higher. oh my gosh and the views from way up there! i spent the first hour or so with my face pressed to the window! my Dad set it up so one of us would have the window seat going out, and the other coming back, and i had the hardest time in the world deciding whether i would rather see the views and the layers of clouds above and below me, or if i'd rather see all the lights from the cities at nite. finally decided on the the morning views, obviously. did you know they don't allow you to have water on the planes now? i knew about the whole sport drink thing, but i didn't know about water! so ridiculous! oh well. OH! guess what happened to us today? so we got a rental car so we can drive over to DePauw on Sunday and then back to the airport, and today, Mom was going to drive me over to the place she's staying, with a friend from church's mom, and we were going to hang out there for a while, and as we start driving, the car was bumping weirdly, and it got worse as we drove. i told her she should pull over, cuz it felt like the rear right tire was flat, and sure enough, it was! ha, so that was fun. we called the friend to ask if she could take me over to the conserv so i could practice before going to one of Sarah's studio things, otherwise i'd have to wait in the car doing nothing for up to two hours, or walk about 20 min. in the cold and rainyness. i'd prolly have done that too..... ha, and gotten lost...... we weren't on campus at that point, if we were, i'd know where to go cuz i know the campus pretty well, spent a week there back in April, think i already mentioned that tho...... i'm losing it.... i need sleep. my internal clock is so messed up right now! what with the crazyness of yesterday, then going to bed at what for me was 10:30, but here was 9:30, stupid time zone, messes everything up, lol. have no clue what time i woke up, cuz it took me like an hour to realize there was a clock just behind the pillow....... i'm so smart........ ehyah.... but anyway, i woke up sometime before 7, here time...... and couldn't sleep anymore, hadn't actually slept well all nite anyway, really really really strange dreams, a few disturbing ones, and one that actually made me cry, like i literally woke up crying....... but anyway, the rest of the day was good, and now i'm tired. i have no idea what time this will say i'm posting, cuz the clock on this site is so messed up. last time a posted, i checked the time, and this clock was 20 minutes behind, not half an hour, but 20 minutes..... which does not make sense. so right here it is 7:45, for the rest of you guys, it would be 8:45. and now i'm gonna go..... and..... er.... uh..... hm...... dunno.... do something...... i'll figure it out.
