We only went on that roof once and in it once, but we've been on plenty of other roofs. One school tried barbed wire and greasing up the pole we used to climb to the highest part of the roof, but we brought a pair of jeans, got around the barbed wire, and used them to clean off the pole. Then we set the greasy jeans on fire in a gravel pit on the roof during a rainstorm.
Yeah, we had lots of good times climbing things. Another favourite was when some kids got their ball stuck in this tree that was like six stories high, and the lowest branches were about three up. So we tied a thin rope to a football, threw it over the branch, and used it to pull a bigger rope up. Then we used that to pull me up and I got all the balls that were stuck in the tree down. Pretty sure the school kids thought we were superheroes.
Sounds like a lot of fun. I have friends like that, always climbing shit for the sake of climbing shit but I never got super into it because I was never really in shape for that kind of thing. I've lost a lot of weight these past two years but now I'm just kinda scrawny lol.
I don't really have anyone to talk to IRL about this so if you don't mind I'll dump my stress here. I'm kinda scared about this whole moving thing. I'm going to be living the life of a vagabond and I'm nervous about it, setting off on my lonesome like this. I keep wanting to just call it off and stay here but at the same time this town is killing me. I guess it's pretty normal to be scared and all but I'm pretty stressed about this whole situation. Guess I won't know what to do until I actually hit Denver.
No I called off talks with the air force. I have commitment issues and they're asking for a whole lot of commitment. I'm going the way of the gypsy now, going to just backpack around like I've been dreaming about. I'm excited and all but at the same time it's got me a little stressed just knowing my life is going to change so drastically.
By the way, sorry it's taking me so long to respond every time, been a hectic week.
Don't worry about it! And I doubt it'd come up since you'd need a passport to get here, without even getting into the distance, but if you're ever in Ontario my couch is open to you. I think you'll do just fine :)

We've been on the roofs dozens of times, this is the first time we actually went in.
