i used to make birds' nests to save birds the trouble but the nests never lived up to my creative vision and birds never went near them. i found this ungrateful, since their efforts looked even worse than mine, not round and symmetrical and neat like the nests in children's books which was the look i emulated, but just a haphazard pile of twigs and feathers and bark. i at least tried but the birds were plain lazy, 'ok mate, that'll do'.

Earliness is a form of unpunctuality. I hate early people, especially if they come to my house before a designated time. Also, if I'm late and they're being all indignant about waiting, a big part of the waiting time they're being indignant about is the period of time they were at the meeting place before they should have been.

(I'm never mad if people are late, I always give them the benefit of the doubt.)

Australia has never heard of this novel fundraising method but does not necessarily disapprove. However Australia will have to have a think about whether it would be "un-Australian" or not. Being "un-Australian" terrifies Australia.

My dog thinks he is tough but in fact he is very small and woollen with round, shiny eyes.
He would blow kisses at the coyotes and try and get them to chase him. Then he would let them drink his water while he sang 'Imagine'.

Not a good habit to get into, but i think this is part of experimenting with life which everyone tries at some low point.

If I ate boiled eggs and they tasted final, and I feel sick now, were they out of date? I can sort of sense an off-gg smell on my breath.

three months pass...
i used to sit in church when i was little and think about how easy it would be to stand up and shout obscenities loud enough for the whole church to hear and then i would get scared i was going to do it if i didn't stop thinking about it so i would stare at the jesus on the cross until the thought left me. later i dated sad-looking boys with prominent ribcages and said dreadful things to them.

i hope your workplace is entirely populated by overweight conservative christian women who thank jesus loudly every day between bites of donut that they have been spared from you cumming inside them then suddenly realising you are no longer in love.

I love them all, but I do love this one, it has that estela thing about it. You know what, her gossamer light rapier thrusts, which are like being impaled by a summer breeze, would be well accompanied by a little cartoon.

my life, in a nutshell:

Boys often like crazy girls when they first meet them but then later the boys gets tired of all the craziness and shout jeeringly at the girls that they are crazy.

the dentist's nurse correctly guessed my star sign recently, claiming she has a gift, but my file was up on the computer screen in the surgery when she did it and she was standing next to it, behind me, when she was talking about it so i was extremely skeptical, though i faked some awe because i felt sad for her.

when i arrived she had said, 'how's bub?' and when i said calmly, 'i don't have any children' she went into huge these long profuse apologies and ended up saying it was probably for the best and that children are completely overrated, she betrayed her own children just to make me feel better when i was quite peaceful about the whole thing anyway, i told i think children are very nice and in the end i let a small shadow cross my face so she would change the subject, which she did, to astrology.
