4:17am- I can't sleep!
Another story collected for my Honors project:

"I do have something that I have an attachment to and don't know why. Maybe 7 or 8 years ago my mom got on a walnut kick and bought some. I didn't eat them, but I learned that I could spin a walnut like a top. So my brothers and I had walnut spinning competitions. After much trial and error, I found an unbeatable nut, one that would spin for over a minute without stopping. I called the nut "the great eye" and painted an eye on it. It never lost, and I saved it. I've had it ever since, and about a year ago one of my brothers found it and wanted to challenge it in another spinning competition. I realized that "the great eye" must have rotted inside, because it didn't spin as well anymore. I refused to tarnish its record in another spinning competition. I also wouldn't let anyone crack it open. I still have the nut. it's one of those weird things that I'm choosing to keep."
