- Devour a whole pint of Mango Sorbet.
 - Go outside because I am cold. I never go outside unless necessary. Until today.
 - Realize that the sun feels blissful.
 - Stand there for about a minute, reading a cleaning lady brochure that is on the front step so I don't look like I am just standing on my front step when cars pass by. (even though I WAS just standing on my front step.)
 - Crave the sunlight. REALLY crave it.
 - Proceed to sit on my front step. Alone. Randomly. Basking in the sun.
 - Ponder the solar system. In proportion to the billions and trillions of light years of space, I am just a minuscule atom, on one microscopic front step, on a TINY continent, on a speck of Earth, in a huge beyond science solar system, in an even huger galaxy, in an even HUGER universe! (I am such a nerd.)
 - Decide I need more of the sun. Sitting on my front step absorbing it like a plant is just not good enough.
 - Abruptly stand up and start walking in my bare feet.
 - Step on the blazing concrete. It feels good, even though it burns. (Why am I so delusional?)
 - Think of what I would write in this situation if I was an author. (Answer: The scorching, jet-black concrete, although exceeding temperatures so high an egg would fry on it, felt blissful on my cold feet.)
 - Continue to walk around my large neighborhood spontaneously.
 - See boys from my school in a garage. One shouts out "Are you on the morning announcements at RSM?" I shout back a pathetic "Yes." and keep walking.
 - Wonder what I am doing and where I am going.
 - Develop a cramp from the sorbet.
 - Walk up a huge hill back to my house.
 - Sit on my couch 20 minutes after I ventured out at #9.
 - Realize the bizarrity of my course of actions.
