"It seemed like a good idea at the time"

I have two things to say.
#1. A guy in a yellow truck offered me a ride today. As I was heading to the school, which was about ten yards away, I turned him down. Apperently this guy is named Ray and he is a big creep and I must never accept anything from him. I understand this, most of you have heard it. But I feel sorry for him too. What if he was just trying to be nice? I still wouldn't have taken a ride, I don't from strangers, even in Dalmeny, and generally I walk because a) I like walking, b) I have no other way to get there, or c) when you walk, you run into people, and I like socializing. Anyway, the point was that a) there is a vaguely creepy guy in town, so be careful, and b) I want to learn jujitsu (self defence) from my uncle but I need another girl to learn it with, so if there're any girls who read this who want to learn self defence, come talk to me.

#2. I wrote this the other day.

Would you run away with me
To a place called Home,
and there, would you stay with by my side
Reminding me to remember what was lost
and forgotten.
If I should lose myself there,
Would you look until you found me, huddling terrified under my bed
and comfort me, keep me warm in winter
Here in this foriegn world.
Here.
Would you stay until we find what we're looking for?
We don't know what it is yet,
but we'll know when we find it.
and I think
the irony is that we'll find Home
In the place we left.

...but I like breathing...
