Life has been nice the past few weeks. I'm slowly, blindly teaching myself to not be so paranoid and more normal.. Also not so self-conscious. It seems to be working, no? I have been extremely happy for reasons I cannot explain, and, in my opinion, I have been a funner person to hang out with.
I had a fairly good birthday, despite the fact that I was as sick as a dog, but we had my favorite meal of oyster stew, Jones, and blueberry pie (didn't you notice I gained weight?). Actually, we had oreo cheesecake, which was simply marvelous. Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy day and who helped make it possible. It is very much appreciated. And to those who didn't, I love you anyways.
And, to everyone reading this, I would like to dedicate a song. I did not write it. It is rather cheesy. It's just a fun song to sing and I feel like writing out the lyrics, so why not dedicate it to all you lovely people? I suppose it's not really a "dedication" without me writing it. Moving along...

Its hard to believe
that I couldn't see
That you were always there beside
me thought I was alone with no one
to hold butyou were always there beside me
This feelings like no other
I want you to know
I've never had someone
that knows me like you do
the way you do
I've never had someone
as good for me as you
no one like you
so lonely before
I finally found
what I've been looking for
so good to be seen so good to be heard
don't have to say a word
for so long I was lost
so good to be found
I'm loving having you around
this feelings like no other
I want you to know
I've never had someone
that knows me like you do
the way you do I've never had someone
as good for as good for me as you
no one like you
so lonely before I finally found
what I've been looking for
doo doo doo doodoo
doo doo doodoo
whoa-oa-oa-oh
doo doo doodoo doodoo
doodoo doo doo
whoa-oa-oa-oh

Oh yes. I am a nerd. And here's an extra link just because I now am a fan. Thanks to two families I know. You know who you are.

Due to the graphic nature of this post, reader's discretion is advised

Tracy and Pablo are walking Tracy's dog Maximilliano down Howard street, discussing books, movies, and life in general. It was their first date.
"I really like you," says Tracy.
"I really like you, too," replies Pablo.
"Woof," barks Maximilliano.
Tracy and Pablo are now walking hand in hand, slowly passing by each store. Suddenly, thousands of screaming people and many beeping horns invade the semi-silence of Hibbing.
"What's wrong," screams Tracy.
As Pablo turns to answer, a car spins around the nearest corner, a blonde haired girl in the drivers seat, smiles and waves to a passing peer. It appears to be Brooke. Not paying attention to her surroundings, she drives on the sidewalk for nearly a block, striking Pablo and also Maximilliano bringing them to the ground, and running them both over afterwards.
"Nooooo!!!!!!!!" yells Tracy.

Tracy woke up a second later. It was just a dream. Good thing Brooke doesn't take driver's training until April. Look out, pedestrians!





Ooh, look! It's my birthday present to me! I'm so happy!
(-cough- what a nerd)

2) you haven't played solitaire with real cards in years




3) the real reason for not staying in touch with your friends is that they don't have a screen name




4) you'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing the button on the tv.




6) your boss doesnt even have the ability to do your job.




7) you read this list, & keep nodding and smiling




8) as you read this list, you think about sending it to all your friends




9) and.. you were to busy too notice number 5.




10) you actually scrolled back up to check that there was no 5




11) & now you're laughing at your stupidity

This is almost exactly what my new fish, Duke, looks like. He's a cutie, no doubt about it. But the thing is, he won't eat. He must miss his friends at the store.

the top 18 ways to confuse santa

1. Instead of milk and cookies, leave him a salad, and a note explaining that you think he could stand to lose a few pounds. 2. While he's in the house, go find his sleigh and write him a speeding ticket. 3. Leave him a note, explaining that you've gone away for the holidays. Ask if he would mind watering your plants. 4. While he's in the house, replace all his reindeer with exact replicas. Then wait and see what happens when he tries to get them to fly. 5. Keep an angry bull in your living room. If you think a bull goes crazy when he sees a little red cape, wait until he sees that big, red Santa suit! 6. Build an army of mean-looking snowmen on the roof, holding signs that say "We hate Christmas," and "Go away Santa" 7. Leave a note by the telephone, telling Santa that Mrs. Claus called and wanted to remind him to pick up some milk and a loaf of bread on his way home. 8. Throw a surprise party for Santa when he comes down the chimney. Refuse to let him leave until the root beer keg arrives. 9. While he's in the house, find the sleigh and sit in it. As soon as he comes back and sees you, tell him that he shouldn't have missed that last payment, and take off. 10. Leave a plate filled with cookies and a glass of milk out, with a note that says, "For The Tooth Fairy." Leave another plate out with half a stale cookie and a few drops of skim milk in a dirty glass with a note that says "For Santa" 11. Take everything out of your house as if it's just been robbed. When Santa arrives, show up dressed like a policeman and say, "Well, well. They always return to the scene of the crime." 12. Leave out a copy of your Christmas list with last-minute changes and corrections. 13. While he's in the house, cover the top of the chimney with barbed wire. 14. Leave lots of hunting trophies and guns out where Santa's sure to see them. Go outside, yell, "Ooh! Look! A deer! And he's got a red nose!" and fire a gun. 15. Leave Santa a note, explaining that you've moved. Include a map with unclear and hard-to-read directions to your new house. 16. Leave out a Santa suit, with a dry-cleaning bill. 17. Paint "hoof-prints" all over your face and clothes. While he's in the house, go out on the roof. When he comes back up, act like you've been "trampled." Threaten to sue. 18. Dress up like the Easter Bunny. Wait for Santa to come and then say, "This neighborhood ain't big enough for the both of us."
