New York: Day 3

Today is the first day I've felt semi-normal. I took a walk down the block during the rain storm (so refreshing!) and snapped some pictures.It was delightful, and I felt very...new. Everything is new. I'm still getting used to this place, of course, but I'm settling in. It is very difficult to live out of a suitcase though.

Most of today, I read, and watched my cousins play video games.Because of the thunderstorm, no one really went out. Except me. I accidentally got to walk with my eldest cousin when he came back from work. Because I was already outside and caught him coming up the street.He inquired about my weird need to be in the rain. Simply, its comforting.

Later, about an hour and a half ago, my aunt, forgetting about my computer, turned off the internet. So we went for a walk. Which turned out to be a pleasant event. I learned a lot. Like the New York terminology for buildings and "supermarkets". It was an interesting experience. We also grabbed some cheap pizza (which tasted pretty good, but my slice was burnt). They are really generous with the slices! They're HUGE. Which is wonderful. Tomorrow, I think I'll walk a little farther. I guess we are going to have a little guest tomorrow. I'm getting mixed messages about her behavior. So...that will be interesting.

Tonight, my youngest cousin is sleeping in her own bed. So I should be able to get some sleep. Ha! I took the funniest picture of her last night. But I can't upload it. It went something like this though.

Cousin, sleeping in the CENTER of the mattress. Me standing above her disdainfully. Then! An idea.

A Wild Snorlax appeared!
Mercy sent out CAMERA PHONE
CAMERA PHONE used FLASH!
It wasn't very effective...
CAMERA PHONE! Come back! 
Mercy sent out AUTHORITY!
The wild SNORLAX used SNORE!
It wasn't very effective...
AUTHORITY used SHOVE!
It was super effective!
The Wild SNORLAX fainted!

Hahaha! Do you see how funny that situation could have been?? My cousin being the Snorlax of course. Ahh...it was hilarious.I haven't tried actually writing yet. And I think that might be because there's so much to see and do and people to talk to. I can't concentrate on any writing but this. Since it's just a scribbling of my thoughts, it isn't hard. Plus, I do it when everyone else is asleep. :) Clever me, I know.

Anyway, despite actually doing stuff today, I don't have much to talk about. It seems like my mind is trying to rewire its self so it's hard to think about things for very long. I told my mom I would call her tomorrow. I Voxed her and Pooka earlier. He was very excited to hear my voice.

I think its harder for the people you leave behind. I'm distracted from missing them as much as they miss me because of all the new stuff I'm surrounded by.But they are in their regular lives doing the same things they usually do, just without me. So they notice my absence a lot more. I know that I'm away from them, and I feel that missing space. But it's so fleeting in my mind. Like, look! It's already day three! I know its going faster to me than it is to them. It helps that I'm ahead by three hours. But still. I have faith that they'll be alright.
Sweetness, I hope you do just as much growing, in your own way, that I do.

 I have trust in you.

Well, I'm gonna go do something else now. I love you all. Goodnight.
