So I went out for a walk, right? And I was feeling PRETTY so I dressed fairly nice-casual. In particular I wore an excellent little sky-blue jacket that I'd never worn before. It's a glorious day, just warming up to pleasantly cool and with lots of wind.
Went out, but not very far because the park and the river were right there and beautiful. Walked along down the river a ways, crossed a bridge, walked back. Twigged by the time I was near where I'd split off to get back home that there was not another bridge for quite some ways in either direction. There was, however, the remains of what must have once been a rough dam forming a convenient string of stepping stones across nicely shallow water.
People all around, of course. I waited for two little boys to get off the stones first. And then I hung my boots off of the strap for my MP3 player, stuck my socks in 'em, rolled up my pants, and twisted my nice jacket into a roll around my waist. And went~!
In retrospect the jacket would've been safer 'round my neck. XD Ah well, live and learn, and it didn't get splashed MUCH when I fell! Didn't even short the player.
It was pretty cool all around, really. About halfway through it really hit me that the people behind me on the shore HAD to be watching, and I started shaking really bad. I stepped back onto one rock, took a glance upstream at the water, listened hard to my music, and went on. And then three steps before it was over I DID fall in, which meant the worst came to pass and it was not that bad! Which, y'know, intellectually I knew, but there's no arguing with that kind of stupid public-embarassment phobia. Except to show it that making a fool of myself is actually pretty damn funny.
I wanna go play FF9~! *flounces off*
(did I mention I've now been awake for 24 hours? 8D)

It's kinda weird to start FF9 while Princess Vivi is still in the spotlight over in One Piece.
I like playing it, tho. Cute and squishy and appropriately mindless to match the current level of brain activity. And I do luv that music.
But - and this applies to every FF, so far as I know - why flan? Why FLAN? Why of all things would a squishy gooey dessert with fangs be a monster design? At least in FFX they looked like piles of unidentifiable slimy goo; in 9 they're shaped like they just got out of the pan. Wtf, Japan.
