Craftily Inspired

Today was a fantastic autumn day, with just a hint of misty coolness, a semi-cloudy sky, and excellent Maryland leaves scattered on the ground. I decided it was a perfect day to walk into town, and intended to bring Roomie Claire, too. Conversation as follows:

ME: [bursts into dorm room, shouting] Claire!

CLAIRE: [no answer. She is not there. But her phone is, so she's probably still in the building.]

ME: [bursts into bathroom, sees Claire shower supplies and robe] Claire! It's gorgeous outside!

CLAIRE: [no answer. She cannot hear me over the shower, and is confused to have possibly heard her name.]

We finally spoke face-to-face, and I eventually convinced her to go into town with me.

ME: Hey!

CLAIRE: Hey.

ME: It's really nice outside. Wanna walk to town?

CLAIRE: Okay.

Mission complete. For a few hours, we drank coffees, examined antique Dutch dressers, considered transporting aforementioned dresser back to the dorm (uphill), discussed decorative pillows and beaver pelts, bought cheap plastic rings, dragged our weary bodies back to the dorm (having sat down not once), and ate chicken nuggets with current and past members of the drama department.

Having examined multiple expensive knick-knack shops, I am now inspired to sew my own decorative pillows, paint some pictures, and throw a few bowls, cups, and plates. I am, however, much too tired to do any of it, though, or to elaborate on the topic. Good night.
