Yesterday was a good day.

Skateboarded some, and I actually wasn't half bad.

At about 10 I went out to skateboard somemore,

and james came with me, and he was like "Wanna go down a big hill?"

It wasn't very big, but it still was.

Like, it wasn't huuuge, but it was enough that it was slightly dangerous.

So, we go off. Mostly walking, but I skateboarded some and then he did, and he showed me a lot of cool tricks and tips. I fell down because of this giant part of uneven sidewalk, but it was down into the grass so that was okay.

So we keep going to the hill, and then we go almost to the top.

I get on, and go...and james is just like yelling "Keep going! You're going to make it!"

While I go for a bit, and then the board starts swerving insanely due to speed and the fact that the wheels are loose. (I found out the latter after the fact.)

He did tell me before doing this how to steady myself out, though. And I managed to and make it all the way to the bottom. I had my hands up near my face, and all I was thinking was "shit, shit, shit, shit." because I really didn't think I was going to get all the way, and James said he didn't know either and was like worrying, but then I did and he was like "YEAAAH!"

and it was awesome.

So then we were walking back, and talking about snowboarding and he said about how he used to go with his class, and bring his walkman. And listen to like, deathmetal and stuff all like with a pounding beat, and he said it was so cool because he couldn't feel anything and you just go so fast... so I'm like "It would be especially cool with my heaphones, because..." and then I'm checking my pocket, looking for my ipod.

And it wasn't there. And I distinctly remember putting it in my pocket...

so James skateboards quickly up the hill to check.

But it wasn't there. So then we both get the idea that it might be where I fell, so we hurry and go there. James skateboarding and then I was running superfast to keep up, and then I skateboarded for a bit. And then we were walking down the street I fell on, and the part where I fell was dark. James just kept walking since he didn't see anything, but I saw a reflection of light on something shiny, and stopped and then looked closer...and there it was.

Lying right on the grass in plain view, still there after even like...10-15 minutes...maybe even longer. I was so lucky, to have made it down the hill and then to have found it. Riding back down our street, I just couldn't believe it.
