I'm learning how to weld. This may not seem in line with my typical activities, but I'm doing it anyway. It's fun, in a living-on-the-edge sort of way. Between hot things, bright things, things that burn your eyes, things that burn your skin, sharp things, and rotating sharp things, it's rather dangerous. But I'll have you know that after three days, I've only bruised my finger.

I've also been going swimming. There's a pool near my house that has lap swim hours during the day, and my mom and I have been going every couple of days. It's a great way to cool off after being in a welding shop for four hours, and I love swimming anyway. But there's this boy who's always there. My mother thinks he's a lifeguard, but I think he's just some kid with a red swim suit. He just stands around in the water and looks cool. Or stands out of the water and looks cool. Or trys to. He's very attractive and muscular, but it gets sort of distracting when he gets out of the pool and stretches at the end of my lane. So, strange boy who I do not know, please find another lap swimmer to bother.
