As soon as Taylor has suggested doing something to celebrate his nomination, Ed knew exactly what he wanted to do. The boy had left the hotel soon after they'd spoken, with his wallet and a cigarette lighter in his back pocket. He had two hours to prepare, and he was determined to make this a night that Taylor wouldn't forget for a long time. He'd noticed the park the other day, as he'd walked past it with Tay, and it had looked drab, a lonely swing set and a little round table which sat in the centre of a large patch of grass. Ed had seen it, though, and he'd seen it's potential, and that was the only reason that the boy had marched into the shop and bought every single tealight they had on the shelves.

Candles in hand, Ed made his way around the corner to the park. Looking now, he noticed a small bridge that went over a stream. He smiled, and pulled out his phone and sent a quick text to Taylor, wanting to weave the bridge into the night.

"Change of plan; I'll pick you up from the hotel. Wear walking shoes! xx"

Locking the device and slipping it back into his pocket, he set about laying the tealights over the handles of the bridge, and creating a path between them that went over the bridge, around the swingset completely, and right to the table. There were a few left, so he placed them in the center of the table, creating a spiral pattern. The boy checked the time, and it was past five. Just enough time to finish this off. He ran around like a squirrel, lighting all the tealights, finishing with the ones over the bridge.

something cool to think about is that if you stripped a pitched sound of audible oscillations in frequency or amplitude it would just all sound like just a single electronic-sounding tone

so if you took any two sounds that had the same frequencies (a good example is a guitar string being plucked once and the same piano note being played)

and took a small section from a clear area in both sounds where they are conveying that frequency (so without the *pluck* sound of the guitar and after the notes have been struck and they are just ringing)

the tones would sound exactly the same

sooooo the only thing that determines what something sounds like to our ears is the material from which the sound is made (or whatever that material does to the energy that makes the sound - however it "distorts" that energy) (and that's why something hitting metal sounds different from something hitting cloth)

I'm gonna go watch A Walk to Remember. I finished the book today. Knowing me I'll most likely end up hating the movie. It happens every single time I read a book before I watch the movie...
