COW Of The Week

The oddest compliments Alex has ever received:
1. You were really pretty yesterday.
2. You played Anne Frank....and well she was pretty hot for a dead chick...so I guess that makes you pretty hot...for a dead chick.
3. I really like the whole dread lock thing you got going on with your hair.
4. The most envious part about you Alex is your sister.

I thought I knew ridiculous until today

So today I was walking in the hall, right past the teachers lounge, Susan was right behind me. I didn't turn around, but reached my hand out and grabbed Susan's hand. I walked about ten feet with her hand, when I turned around to talk to her. I looked up and there instead of Susan was a really tall guy. I had accident's grabbed his hand. I told him it was an accident and he just laughed. I told him it was all a huge mistake, and we both laughed. It was surprisingly funny.

Sunrise, Sunrise, Looks Like Morning In Your Eyes

I remind myself of a little daffodil. A creature that exists for the sun, and for beauty, and for the pleasure of little girls and grandma's everywhere. A creature with folds and petals so you really have to look deep to find the brightest colors of red and orange. A creature who is not associated with beauty, but gorgeous in its own right. A creature that always has its head facing the sun. A creature that always smiles even when it should frown.

Beam Me Up Scottie

So my Valentine's Day went as such: I woke up and had forgotten what day it was until Thales called and asked me what food went well with a berry pie. Me standing in my blue checkered Pajama's, with mascara under my eyes, and a loose pony tail in my hair: I told him I had no idea...after flipping through my "Cooking with Friends" cookbook, and consulting my mother, he had decided. It actually sounded quite good.

I then had tea with my grandparents, enough said. Spending V-day with old people is not on my top ten.

I went over to Brian's where he gave me "Startrek 101," and I got the inside info about his party. We watched a Startrek movie, one with the original cast. It was surprisingly good and funny (Nuclear wessels we need nuclear wessels) He gave me a whole case of Dr. Pepper and told me to drink it all, and pulled out heavily frosted cookies. It was actually a great way to ignore the slump I could have been in, in fact next time I break up with anyone I am going to Brian's.

I left Brian's-and this is where I hit my low- I went to baby-sit. I rang the doorbell walked in and there on the table were candles a heart shaped pizza, raspberry sparkling cider, Campaign glasses, and chocolate. I was a date for a five year old.

This probably would have been devastating if it had not been for the kindness of Sam Cridditen. He gave me a card that not only made me laugh, it made me feel a lot better about babysitting. But as a result I had an OK day, and only stuffed my face with chocolate once.
