you are bad at jumping off things.. THIS WILL TAKE TRAINING

i just hope you don't jump on one and find yourself in a train graveyard somewhere and it takes you three weeks to find signs of civilization.

also - email Tim these questions

i am bad at jumping off things?!?! what now?!

...

ok, fine. so maybe i am. you must teach me your jumptastic ways! please! lets jump together soon! *leap*

eep, i hope so too. but the possibility of that happening is oddly exciting. *crazy*

and, yes, i will. "hi, i am your chum's galpal. tell me the deetz of boxcar travel!"

ooh!! i can hop on the train right outside your house, as you sit in the car, waiting for it to finish going back and forth, back and forth. or you can come with me?! ;)

jumping well is a state of mind, lizzy. :P
yeah, you can totally practice out on the union pacifics that pass by here all the time.

i hope the possibility of death isn't exciting!

i'd be really, really careful... i was interested in train-hopping, hobo style, until i learned that thanks to homeland security, you can be shot on sight for such activities.

gah, i do not want to be shot. i want to merrily hop on and off trains at my leisure! seems this may be more difficult/dangerous/absurd than i had planned... still fun to daydream about though! :D
