Welcome to Gaia! ::

He got up to a kneeling position. "That was fun!"

"Yes. Normally. But with that, I didn't get hurt. It was the first time I did that and it was an accident. But I often fall because I mean to. I often get hurt, but not more then some pain for a few minutes on my arm or leg. Nothing major." He looks at her. "Want to hear my most recent true story of falling in a public place?"

(Real true story, did it today.) "Well, during Dance class one day, we were learning an Israeli dance of celebration. It was to celebrate the finding of water. One of the kids was confused. The teacher said, 'No, see, right here in the middle of this circle is a well. And We're celebrating because we're in the middle of the desert.' Well, I don't get many opportunities to do silly things anymore, so I said, 'A well? YES!' I ran and pretended to trip in and get trapped in the well until I finally climb out. The teacher wasn't that mad because it was one of the first things I've done, while most of the other students really give her a bad time. I didn't get that hurt, but got other people to laugh." He stood up. "It wasn't much, but at least I was able to do something."

"That's a lot more sad and thoughtful then me."

He walked in the other direction. "I try not to downplay anything. I state truths that either people don't believe or would rather not do anything but ignore or laugh at them. I really am nothing. I am normal because I try to be different. Everyone tries to be different in one way or another. But then some just want to blend in with the others. Those are also normal, because there are only a very few that are not one, the other or both. Right now, I'm normal, I don't know you well enough to know if you are or not. But I will try to make myself different enough until I do become so. But if I go too far, I think about it, but it's something that I don't want to say because there are so many things that could happen. Maybe, I've thought to myself, maybe if there is someone that can keep me in a medium that can keep me from going to far. But many do that, so doing that is again, normal. I really don't know if there is a way to not be normal." He turned around and looked at her with a nonchalant expression on his face.

He smiled. "Nothing." He looked around. "Hmm, maybe we should start going home.'

"I'll take the long way. Going in the other direction. And why do you roll your eyes in such a fashion as to not look around but seem disgusted?"
