evidently google listened. a few months back i tried to get my site removed from the special top spot as google's featured result for my first and last name

i'm not there

which makes me kinda sad, but also makes me feel a lot less likely to be dooced.

my friend has more snow than your friend. plus, my friend is cooler than your friend. thomas wins everything, plus some popcorn. 

you may now welcome me to the land of yuppiedom. not only do i live in the silicon valley and have a pair of $150 jeans, i will soon be driving that car up there. my mommy's 2002 mazda tribute. haaa 

the worst thing about teaching is probably all the paper

scholastic orders
homework to grade
forms to fill out
copies

i swear it never ends. i'm trying to reduce the paper explosion that is my classroom, even though the principal is convinced that it is super neat. hell, several people at school think it is very neat. have they looked??? i mean, seriously. why would my principal not believe that my apartment has piles in it, seeing as my "classroom is so spotless."

sucess. dinner went well, and my apartment was (i think) suspiciously clean.

my apartment has been slowly getting cleaner bit by bit, all day long. steve's parents are coming over for dinner tommorow and they sure as hell don't want to see orange goo mold in the bathroom or pilesandpilesandpiles of papers.

so i cleaned the toilet and hid the papers

and, well, a couple more hours worth of cleaning and rearranging

tommorow? i plan to do cleaning! and rearranging! and cooking! and impressing!

hahaha my website looks like CRAP on my stupid ibook.

and i don't know if i care.

i think i need internet explorer or something

i need to teach some san jose people my family's traditional games. tripoly, speed scrabble, and nerts. but i especially need to teach them speed scrabble because i always win. 

i think the rain zaps my energy. must be a vast conspiracy

i've been trying to get back to 130 for the last 4 1/2 months, and i finally made it! (for about thirty minutes between finishing a huge dinner and going pee) darn. i bet i can get 130 solid by next week!

i want to hear the rain on the roof and lay in bed all day long and not go outside at ALL, dammit.

i was totally complaining to the boyfriend on the phone about how my only friends share his last name, and now that the whole family is sick i have no one to hang out with

but i was walking outside, and i was like dude it smells like gas.

so i looked behind me and there was this girl, and i said "do you smell gas?"

and now we are friends

tiiiiiiiiiiiiiime warp-

my new years resolution is to try out three new cheeses. maybe gouda, bleu cheese... who knows! i will be adventurous

so it took me TWO years, but i have tried a lot of new cheeses in the last few months. on new years eve i dimly recalled that i had once made a resolution to try new cheeses. i haven't made a new resolution yet. any ideas?

i suddenly can't open my sliding door, and there is poop residue on my stairs

BUT
