Graphs like those make me want to put on pants (it's 2 pm on a Saturday) and drive down to IHOP and order a bigass delicious waffle.

I thought breakfast of champions was red beer or a bloody mary.

Great, now I need to go up north, my dad makes excellent bloody marys with home canned jalapenos, pickled asparagus, Jalepeno cheddar venison stick, some dave's insanity sauce. It's pretty much a meal in a glass.

I had to wear a dress and wig tonight, I have to wear one tomorrow (ten points to the first person to correctly guess why... internet may help with this). And I had to wear pantyhose for two weeks for the play/rehearsal thereof. This is probably doing some serious damage to my male psyche.

A friend and I were having a discussion about "the colors of the alphabet and numbers", or rather, the colors we associate with certain letters/numbers based on past experiences. It was very interesting: for example, he associated yellow with eight while I associated it with a light red (different from pink!) and while for me 5 is yellow, five is green to him.

Any psychiatrists out there like to explain the implications of these?

(I'm bored and weird, I know.)

To me, eight is brown... Like chocolate...

I'm at my boyfriend's home, playing cantr, even if he hate it, because he is playing a "very confidential game" and looking a football match... *Sighs*

Letters are harder for me than numbers: 1 is a dark grayish-blue, 2 is a leafy green, 3 is a faded burgundy, four is orange, 5 is yellow, 6 is bright red, 7 is dark maroon/purple, 8 is light red, 9 is light green, and I'm still trying to figure out 0. Strangely enough, it's not orange like the letter O is.

Rant: So, this week is spring break. Guess what my parents have decided I'm doing for it? No, not vacation, not sitting at home doing nothing, not any outdoorsy stuff, but.... homework.
Who does homework during spring break? Who gives homework during spring break?
Apparently, my teachers do.

Edit: I now know why they're pushing the homework thing so much: we're having company later this week. All-in-all, I won't be on Cantr nearly as I'd like.


Also: I'm really starting to worry about Snick. She's been gaining weight but she doesn't eat much (this has always been the case, actually, but moreso now). Also, used to when she would only whine when I picked her up, now she growls and bitches when I even touch her. Also yesterday, she was lying on my lap while I was on Cantr on my laptop on the couch, and when my mom called us for dinner, Snick did *not* want me to leave—she held on tightly. Maybe it just felt like that because she's over sixteen pounds, but she. *was* upset when I left. And, she's spending more time sleeping than normal, and is neglecting in her daily grooming (we've been brushing her more often s of late).
She doesn't have fleas, and we haven't been changing their food or eating times drastically (just one hour earlier than before, thanks to Daylight Savings time), and we haven't changed household maintenance routines and products. We don't know what's wrong with her...I'm really worried. My mom thinks it could be thyroid.... I just don't want to lose her, especially since she's still young (5⅓ years).
Maybe I'm being overreactive.
We're going to try some diet thing with her at night, monitor what she eats and how much. How she does with that will then determine if we need to take her to the vet or not, and get her checked out.

I have never missed drugs as much as I did last night. Almost took some, too, but then I remembered how fond I am of breathing and continuing to live. This is a stupid way to cap off spring break. I feel a lot better this morning, but I'm still dosing myself with coffee and snuggling with an ice pack. Also, I feel like I have a test coming up this week, but I don't know what for. Maybe it was the history one that got turned into a take-home that's due next Monday. I willing touched a stranger three times last week.

I associate seven with the imperial color of China. I don't think I associate it with yellow in general, just yellow in reference to the imperial color of China.

Vega, your English....makes me lol? I dunno. I just find it amusing, I guess, especially verb forms.


An update on Snick:
She limps on her front right paw, she's been sleeping a lot, and she can barely walk nevermind jump on/off my bed. We're trying a new diet/therapy plan with her where she only gets food at certain times of the day, and she spends her nights away from the dog and the other two cats. This is night one. Starting weight (as of three hours ago): 15.8 pounds.
Anyways, we think she's jarred her shoulder, and there are plenty of ways this could've happened.... :oops: She's going to the vet tomorrow morning probably....poor injured kitty. :cry:

Thought: I overuse the word "anyway".

Edit: As I was submitting this rant, I heard a loud thump, and I knew it was Snick jumping off my bed onto the tile flooring. I freaked out—is she okay, why did she do that, where is she now, what is she doing, I can't take my eye off that cat for two minutes. Turns out....she's eatng. The little pig. :lol: I just hope it didn't hurt her shoulder any more than it already is.

You are the second one telling me that...

Reading that 15 min before leaving home, because I must give an English lesson it's really depressing... :(

Don't feel bad Vega, Snick's just jealous for not sounding more exotic. :D

What GIMPY said. :? ;)

For most verbs: (example being used: jump)
Present-tense:
I (yo), You [sing] (tú, usted), You [pl] (vosotros, ustedes), they (ellos), we (nosotros): jump (plural verb form)
He, she, that person: jumps (singular verb form)

Gerund: jumping

Past tense: jumped
Past-perfect: have/has jumped, has/have been jumping

Then we have all the exceptions to the rules.

I really know that... I know more English that it seems...
I don't have any problem doing grammar exercices, but when I start speaking or writing, my brain just collapses and it don't find the word or expression I need...
I am conscient of that 's' on third person... But my mind keeps thinking it's on the second person and I don't know why...

Well... My mind is governed by entropy, I think...
