i didn't see the gorilla. i don't even have a picture yet.

today was mom's birthday. it started nicely with eating ice cream for lunch and watching a delicious john cusack movie starring the delicious duo of him and mini driver. *sigh of wonder* And we gave her presents, which included a bird feeder, even though she thought her only present was the patti smith concert from forever ago. but then at "dinner" --two mooses and two creme brulays!-- there was some crazy argument over directions. long story short, alanna and i are terrible, mainly me. but mom says she doesn't hate me. why am i so thoughtless? why am i so mean? it's against everything i've tried to stand for since i was nine or ten or something like that. don't argue with me! i am so thoughtless! my only hope is that one day i'll just get over it and poof! i'll be a good person again. you know, the kind with virtues. anyway,.....

in my ear:miles of MODEST MOUSE! modest mouse forever! but soon i will be thrashing to happy songs in my room such as magic star and we laugh in the face of danger(and break all the rules.) thankyou, alanna

p.s. i got cast as sister's friend! i forsee a silly, talkative girl painting toenails and laughing and thrashing to happy music! afterall, what else could sister's friend possibly do? I also forsee this to be a fun part to play, although maybe not as challenging, but maybe I'm being arrogant and gullible, but why is this something to obsess over? because i am an obsessive, gutless wonder and i am interested in only my interests! mwhahahahahohohoooooooooooooooooholy things. if only i had a heart and brains and the nerve.

yayay! i'm so happy. they put the purple "love rules" advertisment gorilla back up down the street. i want to hug it, but i'll take a picture or something instead. I got home from Amelia's house a little while ago. It was make your own pizza night at the Rice residence, and I got the most lovely artichoke, olive, olive oil, basil, tomato, onion, and pepper slice of life, or --as it is called-- slice of pizza. OH, YUM. And we watched lots of things such as Ab Fab, Mystery Men, and It's a Hard Day's Night. I'd forgotten how endearing they all are, especially Ringo with his little bobby head. I love him all over again. Amelia and I decided he reminds us of Devin, then we realize we'll never see Devin or Brian ever again because they're being shipped off to private schools. Why? Why? Brian, you're Jewish! ( it's a christain school.) Anyway, I have to give the dog a bath, there's water in my ear, my room looks like a pluto moon, and my pen ran out of ink.

in my ear:

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
hey hey hey. i just got back from my "audition" or whatever it was that was for Brandon's movie. I should have acted cool and polite and I never should have made jokes, but what can you do. He basically wrote the part of the sister's friend so we could both be in it, which was very nice. We were taken to a little room where we had to read lines with Tim, the brother, about trees and phones and headless chickens and his girlfriend. It was fun, but I don't think I did as good a job as I could have. Plus, I look nothing like Tim, so the sister's friend role better get ready for me! Eileen says I act more like his sister's friend because we know each other, but this is ACTING, so we can both act like we know him. I just looked at the comments on DOY and Eileen said something about how I was decidedly uncomfortable around her. I haven't been decidedly uncomfortable all day! I think things go on in that girl's head that aren't things that go on in the world, but my life is full of interesting people like that. Amelia called and said we should do something, and I most completely sweetly agree with her. Something must be done. I may have done too much the past couple days. Sara is living here, almost, and Eileen is half living here. Alanna and Sara and I watched Degrassi's newest chapter entitled "It's Raining Men," followed by a showing of The Breakfast Club. There was much hugging and oreos and laughing on my couch that night. Sara slept on the crappy pillow, but I didn't know she didn't like that pillow. I also accidentally kicked her in the stomach the other night in my sleep. I must stop doing things like that. Dad just found Boys for Pele in an opera box. Mom thinks it's my falt. Why would I take a CD of opera out of its opera case in the first place, only to put my CD into it? Why? Because I'm wicked.
love,
me



in my ear: the wanting rumblings of hunger. ha ha.
