I almost died today you know, that whole life flashing before you thing doesnt happen either. Its more of a, weak theres nothing I can do I've failed everyone. And I love you. Mind you, ever since I was four ( I was onbly fricken four and I remember this QUITE distinctley, so this was a majot moment in my life), I've been afdraind of heights since my "climbing experience." I was at the park with my best friend, who was a boy, and of course the other boys thoguht I had cooties so my best friend left me for the boys climbing the ever-so-steep jungle monster (gym). As I was climbing to catch up with them they all sprayed me with silly string and I fell down a couple of rungs and cried. And that damn silly string was stuck in my hair too, see boys are bastards at all ages;O) (No hate mail please). ANYWAY, today I was helping dad clean out our neighbors rain gutters, but still I wanst too keen about lcimbing onto his roof. The first art ended up ebing ok, but then we had to move onto the top part of the roof. The top part of the roof that you had to climb to on a very steep slope. Needless to say, I'm not nearly as sure-footed as my father and 3/4 of the way up the steep slope that resideds 35 odd feet above the ground...I started to slip. I was not about to let go of that roof. Dad noted the seriousness of this situation and quickyl got behind me....meaning if I went he was going with me. Now that I hbeld two lvies in my hand I released my panic oh-my-god im going to die mode, and took things more seriously. and started to slowly move back down the roof without losing my footing. Until I slipped again. This time I clung to the roof and held it like my baby, and I was determined not to let go. I was so frazzled at this point I told dad to go get a firefighter and leave me here. Haha I was so scared I felt like a child, thinking only a man in a great suit could help me now. LLuckily though, my father loves me and helped me overcome my growing fear of slopes and 40 ft. falling heights and we made it down to the ground. And so my friends, I am not dead yet! Until tomorrow then, Your Nieghborhood Superman
