hello again.

i'm so tired just now.
*so* tired.

because i should be in bed
but i'm not

anyway, my sister's gotten a new mp3 trading thing
and she's taken over the computer for that purpose
but i think she's making a cd to dance to at the talent show
so i guess it's alright

i danced once at the talent show
it was while my friends were playing "see the constellation"
and i went up in the middle of it with "soy bomb" written on my chest
and was carried off the stage
of course, this was all orchestrated by us beforehand

anyway, i've got an idea for a comic
and i started it tonight
but then i had to come do this
and check a fact or two
but now i'm too tired to keep drawing

i'll continue it tomorrow

i've missed maria's birthday
(maria is a girl that's had a crush on me for years
and has had a boyfriend for about as long)
i've forgotten when it is
but i'm pretty sure it was the 24th
i tried calling her twice today
but noone picked up
so maybe i was right, and they were out celebrating
not too far fetched, today being the day after, right?
well, technically, it's the 26th now
so yeah

i'm itching to write a song.
just as i've been itching to do some comics.
let's hope both come to fruition in wonderful ways.
with hilarity not far behind, which it usually isn't, when all goes well.

seems i wasn't the only one sexually harrassed recently
lauren was as well, some guy from work
apparently, her pushing him away when he tried to kiss her
didn't quite sink in the first time
and he just came back more aggressively
she's gonna get him fired.
i'm glad.

but she's alright.
and i'm alright.
so that's good.
she's getting a new job anyway, so that's good too.
she's in training for it.
i should get to looking myself.
i don't do that enough.

and now a bit about the person that, i think
is my new favorite cousin-
and that is hayley.
hayley is a little kid, and i first really met her when my family went out to dinner.
i sat across from her, and i ended up doing the whole
starting a sticking-your-tongues-out-and making-faces-at-each-other-war
not really a war, but a game sort of thing
you know what i mean, anyway
and at the end of the meal, she starts eating salad with her hands
so i start eating salad with my hands too
and we're both sort of perpetuating the other's use of hands as utensils
to the dismay of both of our mothers
man, that was fun

and then on my mom's side, there's katie
who is a similar story, except without the salad part
and i think katie is a little older
i failed to mention her earlier, though i was going to.

hayley is smart as a whip
(they both are, really)
and my cousin jimmy
(he works with my dad, i forget his age
but he must be in his late 20's or around there)
and her do a bit of fat-people-spotting
which is hilarious, because she has to come up with
subtle, non-chalant ways of pointing them out
like fake coughing or sneezing their shirt
for instance-
they were doing this before, and a girl in a rainbow shirt walked by
and hayley went *coughrainbowshirt*
and this time she sneezed "white shirt"
a clever one, her
and a damn good memory
she seems even to remember being in the womb
which is just "wow!"
it's exciting, like "the force is strong in this one"
hooray for brains!
and apparently, i made an impression, because she told my aunt alice
(her grandmother)
about us eating salad with our hands
which made me really happy.
so hooray for that.

anyway, i'm very tired now
and i've not worn my retainer enough in the past 2 days
oh man, haven't i.
so i'm going to go take out my contacts
brush my teeth, put in my retainer
and go to bed.

good night. ^_^
