yellow curtains make me happy

the yellow window curtains that grandma made for me make me happy. i'm sitting on my futon, facing the window curtains, and... yes. bright and happy. and i like that.

hmm... so... what to say. i haven't kept this very updated recently. it's been a really different week though. i think i've done almost... well... no homework this week, or what seems like it. i sat in the library for 3 hours at my favorite little study table spot and didn't get more than 1/2 a page written on my religion & culture paper. it's like i know what i want to say, but don't know how to say it. and then thinking about a friend randomly taking his life..... and how his family must feel right now..... just impossible for me to comprehend. fri night at 11, though, the bus is leaving from bv for his funeral, and i'll be on the bus. there's so much to get done this weekend, but i know i need to go. the other things can wait.

oh! my exercise ball! for those of you who don't know, this semester i've had a new friend in my room: the 65cm exercise ball, color: blue. reebok. i use it as my chair. also as my foot rest. something to exercise w/ a little bit. something to just randomly bounce on. yes, this exercise ball is a fun toy and pc. of furniture. someday, w/ my teacher salary, i shall have exercise balls instead of chairs in my living and dining room. ;-)

bob the bonsai is still alive and kickin'. springtime is coming though so i think he'll be needing a re-potting-and-fertilizing. w/ that, i think i shall rename him. he shall become a her, and she shall be named bonita bonsai. my rd said i may not want to change its name at this pt. and time-- it may give it a complex or something-- but i think he/she'll be able to handle it. if she survived last semester, she can survive a name-changing (and, yes, a sex change... but please don't dwell on that, friends).

so this paper? yeah. not so much. too much fun talking online. (shoutout to jon, from the east and the southwest!)

it's friday morning which means... maybe i should sleep sometime. hmm. busy day ahead. oh well... like this paper, sleep can wait. (lol) peace, friends!
