here is a thing i do all day sometimes: part one.

on friday i went on a wishing trip. which is kind of like a fishing trip but you need pennies instead of worms and you don't really catch the wishes so much as you let them float in the air for a while. they're invisible so it's hard to tell if they decide to land on your head, but if they do, you'll know because things will start happening. i like to make my good wishes vague and my bad wishes very specific. if i wish for something bad to happen, i immediately tell someone about it so it won't ever come true. (that's a good trick, you can use that if you want. it works when you're blowing out the birthday candles, too, but it's not my birthday for another three hundred days, so i had to be more proactive.) and so i went to like seven different fountains and thought of vague good wishes and threw all seven of my pennies into the water. people looked at me weird, but they probably just didn't know that this is a really great time to enter the wishing market. (i read that somewhere but i can't remember right now.) anyways, i think one of them (the wishes, i mean) came true because the train came right when i got up to the platform and i didn't even have to run or anything. and there was a mariachi band on there too, which i kind of like even though some other people get annoyed because they keep hearing things like "amor" or "querida" instead of their ipods and their kindles and things like that. but i like it because they wear those nice shirts and hats and the guitars are all different sizes. i never give them any money though.
