I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion. ~Jack Kerouac

I downloaded a new picture editing software to my computer, and I was playing around with it. I think this picture now looks better. Pretty cool, huh? Well I am excited about it.

I used to attempt to write poems all the time. The other day, out of complete boredom, I picked up the book I used to write in, and started flipping through it. I felt really compelled to write something, and I don't really like what I wrote yet. But I found one that I wrote a couple months ago about Shane.

My fish likes to chase his reflection. I think he is just lonely since the frog died, but I guess Elvis is just trying to make a new friend.

I went on a baking spree yesterday. I was bored. I changed my fishes name to Elvis. I think he is real lonely without his little frog friend. One of my eyes is real sore. I think Jenny just passed her puffy eye disease to me. Except her eye is puffy from eating pistashios. I bought a book on ebay and it still hasn't come. I am a little worried. I don't really want to start school on Monday, but at the same time, it will give me something to do. Besides organizing my beads and baking. I don't like the way that our new insurance company works. Even though it is freezing in our house, I slept in a tank top last night. Now I am real cold. When I was at the doctor yesterday, I got 2 complements on my giant green purse. It was kinda strange. Strange but cool.

my frog died.

Carrie's albino frog's arm fell off. You don't want to know what we did tonight. It's actually kinda funny. I applied for a new credit card today. Sad but true. My car is getting fixed tomorrow. I go to the doctor on Thursday. I needed to schedule an appt because I didn't feel that my week would have been complete without a visit to the doctor. your mom goes to college.

I was driving along highway 41 yesterday, and I was watching the other cars. Using my intense mathematical skills, I realized that over 50% of the population that drives in or near the fox cities doesn't use a blinker. It has got to be close to 34% of us that actually do signal. I tend to feel safer when everybody knows what I am about to do. I am a proud part of the minority. To quote Green Day, "I don't need no caller id".

I had a very bad week of speech class followed by a strange night. It all started when a cow peed on my car on highway 41. Then I got new shoes. Then I ate too many doritos. Even though it is 230 am, and I have been waking up at 5 am, I am really not tired enough to go to bed. But at this point I should be deep in REM sleep. Strange. I know. I never want to talk to someone with my back turned, and then turn around and realize they are stabbing me. I am not going to get married because I don't really know how to walk down the isle. I have a tamborine. I am listening to the Bangles. Jenny said I can't sleep in my new shoes. They are that comfortable. Jenny said mascara makes me vibrant. You can buy used underwear on ebay. My physical therapist says I need to do my excersizes against the wall because otherwise I cheat. I gave a speech today.

My fish and my frog don't get along. It's really funny to watch, because they have established boundries in the tank and they attack each other. The fish kept crossing the imaginary line to get food. But he would get almost close to it, and back away. Some day I am going to come home and one of them is going to be all bloody and dead.

At some point in my life I am going to put ashes in my tea ball and shake it at people. I got home last night, and I couldn't remember if I locked the back door or not. So I locked all of my bedroom doors, because I thought it was just as logical.

I skipped class today for some very logical reasons:
1. I hate public speaking.
2. It is a really cold walk to school.
3. I didn't read any of the 3 chapters we were having quizzes on, so I wouldn't have done good on them anyways.
4. I was supposed to turn in my topic for my next speech, and I don't have a topic yet.
5. I really hate public speaking.
6. Today, we were going to get a tour of the library and learn researching tips.
7. I didn't want to be all worn out from class because I have to go to physical therapy in like 5 min
8. It was much more exciting to watch my fish and my frog fight with each other, and I ate some toast.

Today Carrie and Jim got me a fish and a frog. I just named them. The fish is Puerto Rico. The frog is Lunch, because right now, the fish is trying to eat him. I am avoiding my paper that is due tomorrow, because in order to write it, I have to watch my speech on video tape. And I dont want to do that. So I am waiting for Carrie and Jim to leave. All my roomates and their boyfriends are going to the bars tonight. I am drinking a wine cooler right now, because I decided that I can get all liquered up before I watch my speech. Right? Two more weeks and my interim is over. That is only 9 more classes because we have off on Martin Luther King JR's birthday. He has a really long name. I bought some new clothes yesterday and it was real exciting. Then I watched Back to the Future II and III, by myself. Then I had a really strange dream. I love my gel keyboard thing. I am really excited about my aquatic friends, but I dont know if I have an outlet I can plug them into. Because I think my only outlet is here by my computer. And not only is my computer desk a disaster area, this power strip sometimes blows the fuse. I dont want that to happen to my two little babies. My plants are all still alive. I'm doing pretty good with things that are living. Maybe I should have a kid. Just kidding. My fish might try to eat it.

I am very mad at a certain green crayon. This is the color my laundry all decided to become today. But then Carrie helped me drench it all in detergent, and I went to the slosh n wash, and now my clothes are at least less green. Except anything that was white to begin with. They are still green. I have so much to do for my speech class and I just absolutly dread it. I can't stand going to that class. Good thing there is only 2 weeks left, but until then, I have a midterm, a final and two more speeches. And I have a paper due monday. I am going to go to bed to take a nap, and then maybe I can get over the fact that I need to buy some new clothes that are preferably not green.

I started making this website when we got back from up north, but i never finished it. And I don't think I am ever going to. http://www.geocities.com/anniebananie5839/ There were a ton more pictures I was going to put on it, but it told me that I went to my limit and I couldn't put anymore on. So I stopped. And here we have half a website.

It is January. You know what that means. Jenny has a huge puffy eye. It it rather alarming. Puffy eye and all, it was a good new years. Here's a tip though, if you ever watch wyatt make a shot, and then he names it 'tasty death', don take it. you will regret it. I promise. Tasty death is more like death than tasty. I decorated the Jew, because I figured that even though it didnt celebrate Christmas with us, the jew could clelebrate the new year. Right? either way, i decorated it.
