Ha-HAAAAA! I am well again. Or as well as insanity lets me be. My pond project is progressing, every day that I get off from work. Last week, Dad helped me stick the "fountain" part into the bin, and I found some rocks at pic-n-save. Which, is actually a Big Lots, but hey, it's basically the same thing, right? Today I went to the bank and stuck my paycheck in and stuff...and afterwards mom and I went to the 99 cent store... I got safety pins and four showercaps. Wheeeeee. Then, I dropped mum off at home and went to target looking for one of those little change purses---you know, the ones that snap shut? Couldn't find one. Maybe I should check ebay, eh? Then, on the way home I stopped at the strictly fish place on Harbor boulevard. I found some cheap stuff, but actually I still think it's going to be cheaper to buy my supplies online...or maybe home depot. Though, they haven't got shit, 'cause I checked. So expensive! I wonder If I should email camille to check out solar cells for powering the pump and junk. Weeeg. I'm excited about this project. Oooh, and I should email TH to see what he thinks about types of filters and junk.

Oh, I had a great fourth of july, despite having to work that night, and not being able to go back and visit the Knowles. (A wonderful and hospitable family). Soooo, I ditched work the next day (no telling mom and dad!) and went over for the day. I ended up getting a cooking lesson--- meatball soup, chicken/dill salad with avocado and mangos, and chocolate chocolate cake. Yummmmm. Then I picked up Jules from work, and we all went back for dinner--- sushi. Fresh. Ummm, my taste buds were going to explode in ecstacy. (shit, spelled that wrong, didn't I?) If anybody claims that I said that, I'll deny it. (you never saw this!!)

Yesterday, after getting off work, I went to the library with my new backpack (around 3pm) and then left to get home around seven pm. Mostly due to the fact that a lady gave me her all day pass (saying she didn't need it) and i decided, "hey, a free trip to the library! Hoooray!" I came home with a shitload of books--- some heavy and light (jules calls them smut novels) reading to get done... must do research for the story I'm writing on Fanfiction.net. And no, don't ask. I won't tell you what's going to happen, except that I'll be a LOOOONG time in happening. Ooooh, I can't wait to read THE PRINCE by Niccolo Machiavelli. WHOOO! It's making my toes curl. (shuddup, you dirty people, shuddup. Not THAT way!)

I have decided. I want a nixon watch with the big old strappy armband. So, I've got to save my money for that, sorority events next year, a little sis, and of course, my "fresh fruit fund" which I decided today that I'm going to have (cut strawberries and ripe nectarine make a wonderful sugary treat for lunch/salad)....and all the other stupid things I'm going to need. Like a cell phone, for one.

I just have to find a GOOD job fast this summer, because the Disney one is just not going to cut it. I don't make piddle money there, though it is fun and I like my co-workers. So, tomorrow is going to be job day. J-DAY. Kind of like D-Day, except I'm going to triumph over my joblessness. I despise this being poor shit. It's for the birds.

Mom gave me shit about it, but I hissed at her. I think she's convinced. Hope so.

Have managed to NOT remove anything from my desk. Though I think that may take place tomorrow. The Front pieces of my kimono are ready to go, and I have made myself a lounging outfit from auntie Kate's beautiful striped fabric. Nothing yet done about my coat project. Its taken me forever to get rid of my horrible sickness, and I'm still blowing yellow goo every once in a while.

I have this idea for a story in my head. I think I'm going to need to do some research on ship designs though, before I write it. I want to have a clear mental layout of my setting, after all. It's going to be on a boat (yes, I know you aren't surprized.)

I think maybe after checking my mail, I'd better go to bed. If I really intend to do my J-DAY right, that is. It's freakin' late enough already. Random sidenote: I wonder how ty-bay is doing? haven't heard from her in forever.

ummmm. latz.
