You know what I want really badly right now? Well, two things...maybe more, we'll see as I go.
First, I really want a tree house. Honestly, I really, really want the satisfaction of firstly, building something all my own, and secondly, being able to sit in it and read...or just...sit. I really love to building things. I got to help my dad build a deck a couple of summers ago along with all my siblings, and it's something that I really just want to do...a whole, whole lot. I think my friends think I'm kidding, but if I had the ability to do so...scratch that, I've got the ability, I just need the tree, the wood, the nails...yeah. I would build myself a tree house.
Secondly, since I can't seem to have a tree house at the moment, I really want a roof to sit on. Not like the roofs at DT that are just like open patios that happen to be 7 stories up, I want a real roof. The sloping, on top of house with about 2-3 stories kind of roof. I also want it to be sun-warmed, and I want to be able to do it in the cool of evening with a couple of friends, some fresh fruit, or maybe some popsicles, and just...nice. My house in CA had a shed that sat right under our cherry tree. My siblings and I would sit on it and eat cherries--mostly trying to get them before the neighborhood birds did. Mmmm...what a great sensation. Sun warmed roof underneath you, and sun-ripened, warm cherries full of juice popped in your mouth right off the tree.
My sister is coming out to college soon--I'm so glad. It'll be so nice to have someone from my family around. I really miss them right now, and I kind of just want to play with them. Build things, swim, play in the dirt, go camping, horseshoes, thunderstorms, firefly catching, "volleyball," nintendo monopoly marathons...
...I miss you guys right now

I miss you too, but it doesn't make coming out there any eaiser. I don't know how you did it, going out by yourself...It's so hard.
Hey, if you come by my place in the fall, we have a roof that people end up sitting on all the time. :)
Roof sitting is fun. In South Carolina I had a roof that wasn't exactly flat all around, but I still went up on it anyway. Once I went to the highest point and just stood there for awhile, and people walked and drove by, looking confused. Probably thought I was suicidal. It was a long drop.
A tree house is very important, I say. a treehouse-worthy tree is a requirement in every home I live in, even if I never get around to building the tree-worthy treehouse in it.
