Tweak says, "Gravity really gets me down"

I got a Christmas tree.

How I got one was a rather roundabout way. Saturday morning I just got into my car and drove. I had a lot of thinking to do. I ended up somewhere in I think it was the Berkshires. The license plates said Massachusetts more often than New York. Even though the trees looked skeletal, it still had a sense of beauty about it. I haven't been in a road in the middle of the woods in a very long time. It must have been High School in which I got dragged camping by my cousin who was visiting at the time. I was so covered in mosquito bites by the end of it, I looked like I had the chicken pox. ~~Bloodsuckers were attracted to me then...~~

I don't know, I just drove with no destination. I crossed an apple orchard and picked some apples (which I will wash and make into a pie soon) and there was also a place to pick out and cut down your own Christmas tree. So I walked along and chose a tree.

I never decorated a tree before even though the maids and the butler did decorate our house in lights for the season. For Christmas, we usually ate cake. It was the New Years that we would celebrate which would sometimes segway into a small celebration for my birthday.

Anyways, I have a tree. I bought some lights and decorations but I am still not entirely sure how to decorate it. I decided to go with a blue theme but now I'm not sure.

Simon, if you aren't too busy with moving in, want to help? ~~It is so empty here~~

	Where were you yesterday? I tried to call, and it just went to voice mail. I didn't leave a message. I was busy moving, which I am fully finished with now, but I will come help you with your tree anyway. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Of course I will be. And your concert is this week, yes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would you like flowers? Or just dinner afterward? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	magienoir 2011-11-27 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Save the flowers and champagne until I'm a soloist. Dinner would be lovely, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is a promise then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now, now, don't get too cocky, although I doubt I would be able to tell if you messed up or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You probably wouldn't - ensemble and all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it were me? People would definitely know I was messing up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For violin? $20 an hour to start. Though if it's a hard case, maybe more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I may find to be a difficult case. Am I allowed to touch Estelle? Or shall I get my own? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will just get my own then. Weekends are when I am most available. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	magienoir 2011-11-28 01:29 am UTC (link)
	Well, you can hold her if you want. Just if you are really, really careful. Weekends work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agenttendo 2011-11-28 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Okay. I just don't want to drop a precious heirloom. I should let you know, mom could not get passed Minuet in G when she tried to teach me piano. It may be futile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can probably check one out from school. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Well, I'm not sure if it's iro~~$20/hour + karate and/or Japanese seems fair for what I have to impart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
