    Angel is so girlie, and so PINK! Yes the digital knocks your eyeballs out, it’s really much more vivid in person.
    Woohoo! (Karen, you do like pink, right?)

    Hey! Good morning!

    Today I have supernatural powers. I called my buddy and she was getting ready to leave so that we could go walking (I treadmill and we chat and walk together, the buddy system!), here’s how that conversation went:

    Buddy: I’m getting ready! Putting my shoes on! You ready?
    Me: No! I don’ wanna do it! Noooo!!!
    Buddy: Yes you do! Go get ready! It’s beautiful here, sun is shining, I’m leaving in 10 minutes!
    Me: But, but, but… I have a headache!
    Buddy: So what! Go get your shoes on!
    Me: Oh alright. Fine. Putting my shoes on.
    Buddy: What the?! I just looked outside, it’s POURING rain & the wind is blowin my trees so hard they’re
    almost touching the ground!
    Me: No way! It’s sunny! (muaahahahaa)
    Me: You better hang up the phone, you’re going to lose power!
    Buddy: No, I still have power!
    Me: Not for long… (muaahahaaa)
    Buddy: Static, crackle
    Me: Go get your cell!
    Buddy: Ok! Click.

    Incoming call from cell:

    Buddy: The power is out!
    Me: I know! (muaaahahahaa)
    Buddy: Static, crackle
    Me: Your cell tower is going to go out now, too! (muaaahahhaa)
    Buddy: Lost signal.

    Incoming call from cell:

    Me: I told you!
    Buddy: Static, crackle
    Me: Call me when it’s over!
    Buddy: crackly “OK!”

    Click.

    See? I really didn’t wanna walk. You can’t make me.

    In other news, I added a Chatbox under the “Have Fun!” menu on the right. So if ya don’t wanna reply to an entry, or if you’re just stopping in for the first time, say HEY over there wouldja? It’s a fun thing! No e-mail addy required!

    Caitlin thought up today’s Holy Crap Calendarâ„¢ display. I’m not even sure how accurate it is now, so bah, I may either count up or skip down. It’s not a matter of not knowing how to count (I do have a calkeelater), it’s a matter of being in the Military. (No, I don’t think my supernatural powers will work on the military. bummer.)

    CRAZY LINKS OF THE DAY:
    Naked people can spell! (Thanks Erikie!)
    Smart Kid!!!!
    Don’t touch the rabbit!
