Meaghan. Nerd. The bonsai kitten website is a joke. You are a master of deception.

Story:

I woke up late today... because Amelia, Erin and I stayed up making fun of Elliot and his curly burnt whiskers (we're beginning to think he may be mildly retarded... he likes to stick his face in flames). SO. I missed my bus that would get me to class on time. SO. I took the next bus. But I decided to ride it a couple blocks past school and get some new knitting needles at The Knitting Tree. If I was going to be late already... what's a few more minutes... (shrug). So, I walked up to the store, and it didn't open until 12... and it was 10:30. BUT. A woman cranking open the canopy above the store noticed me and asked what I needed, that she could maybe help me out. Her name, was Melissa. She was maybe 45 years old, wearing cheetah print spandex pants, high heels, a snappy shrunken jacket and a huge belt. Her ash colored hair didn't move. It was hair-sprayed into permanence. She had a cigarette in her mouth (she was talking and smoking at the same time...?!), long, metallic pink fake nails, and a thick New York accent. Not the kind of woman you would expect to run the knitting tree. SO. I tell Melissa I just need new needles, and she gushes about how its no problem, she'll hook me up, as long as I dont need anything fixed or restitched or whatever. So we go in, and she starts swearing. She's standing behind the register, looking at her pants. I'm standing in the entryway of a big room FULL of yarns. There are shelves to the celing overflowing with yarn yarn yarn. Yarn on the floor, yarn in piles, yarn everywhere. It's dark. Melissa's cursing, and then says something like, "well, at least your a woman... hah." and I couldn't figure out what she was talking about. Then she shoves some paper towels down her pants, and starts talking about how she wasn't expecting to get this today, and she' s unprepared, and "wouldn't you know, these are new pants... god damnit." I figured it out, and gave her a sympathetic, "oh man.... that's too bad..." something something. She went on to tell me I needed size 8 needles for my yarn, showed me her yarn baller, "When you become obsessed you'll need one of these. Mine's electric, hah. Isn't that terrible?!" Cast my yarn on my new needles, told me she owned a knitting shop in Manhattan for 20 years... then came to Madison... she has a plaque at the Union? (I didn't know what she was talking about). Then sent me on my way... because she had to go home and change.

It was an experiance.

this girl is no doubt adorable to behold. she is also the most rebellious person i have ever met. she takes things apart when asked to put them together. she throws when asked to catch. she shreds when asked to color. she plops when asked to sing. she never lets go of the things she wants the most. she is entirely independent and no teacher or father can tell her who she should be. she is amazing, and relentless and i love her more and more every day.

I sure am glad I went to class today.

Title: Pain the ankular area.

Plot: Mollie decides to go to Pinkus to buy popcorn with Erin. She starts to walk down the steps from her kitchen stoop to the yard but encounters big trouble. Because the streetlight is out it is waayyyy too dark. Mollie cannot see. Instead of placing her right foot on a stair, she places it on a ceramic pot. Then she falls over. And she has pain. In her ankular area. She and Erin decide to write a letter to the city, complaining about the light. The city sends them coupons for free dinners for life. The end.

Cost: 53 units of pain and 66'x' limping humiliation.

doye.

God loves kitties the best.

Today on the bike path to school I saw 2 KITTIES. One was orange and one was black and white. I am full of joy. Because I love kitties.

Things of things of things of things

Today on my bike ride to school I saw a DEAD MOUSE. It was teeny. And gray... (and bloody)

And Elliot needs to learn what nighttime is.

And I have two new spider-bites. I got them fresh last night. They itch like the dickens. They are the size of quarters. One is on my lower hip and one on my thigh. This means there was a spider crawling around in my pants. I feel violated. And itchy.

I look like a Mollie.

Wednesday.

Perfect attendance is OVER. That's right. Over.

Why?

Because I can cut foam-core in my god-damn house. That's why.

I damn thee

I will give the hair-cut. No need to fret. It can be done. Put down the giant scissors and allow me to work my magic. I will give the hair-cut.

BIG NEWS

Erin bought LaChoys light soy sauce, and it has the plastic stopper thing. phew. BUT! Is that because it's an old bottle... or is it because LaChoy got wise the dinner ruinings by way of non-plastic-stoppered soy sauce bottles and corrected their STUPID STUPID mistake?

i live in a jungle, so far. a high-tech jungle. today i saw a store called
"rating"...something, where they had the number one most popular of every product a person could imagine. for example "number one banana flavored cookie" and "number one boxed taco mix." the best of everything was stocked there for your convenience. why go anywhere else? i also looked at pictures of new orleans. and imagined the hours and hours of buildings in greater tokyo swallowed up into an apocalyptic natural disaster.
i bought some special sweets made with red bean paste for my roommate Craig's birthday today. I asked him how old he'll be and he said 106. That means mid 30s. he made curry last night and let me try some while we watched a show about india. he took me to work on his motor scooter, which was adrenaline. i also bought myself a present today--a sketchbook and two special pens. speaking of presents, where is mine, mollie gove?

This is a present...
