now, their time has past and they all looked exploded. like, you know that feeling you get in your chest when someone you like smiles at you, or no, better, when you first kiss someone you really really want to kiss?

they look like that kind of explosion. it makes me incredbily happy.

in other news, this is the first month i will be able to catch up on my bills and actually pay for it all without panic. that too makes me incredibly happy.

in still other news, niki gets out of school in like two weeks, i cannot believe that shit! i might get to see her like WICKED SOON!!!!!!!!! i am pretty sure i will wet my pants like a shi-tzu with a nervous condition when i see her, i will be that excited.

but then i'll clean myself up and we'll go out! for sushi ! and sake! and bloody maries!

and i'll buy her tulips! it'll be great!

in other other news, i haven't gotten a letter from my penpal in over a week. should i worry? did i write too much? are my letters unwelcome?

THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW. i hope he writes soon.

if my calculations are right, he looks like giovanni ribisi*, has a new orleans accent**, and writes letters that are actually thoughtful and interesting and funny.

and, he can read my handwriting.

i think i have a c! aww!

so far work today has been completely brutal, but i feel like things are turning around.

oh! and guess what!! today was the first day ever that i could really really see animals in the clouds. i always had a hard time picking out shapes in clouds when i was a little kid, they always just looked like, you know, clouds.

but this morning i saw a fish, and a train, and a rabbit bunny.

it could have been hallucinations caused by the massive amounts of easter candy that is being passed around class, but i doubt it.

a rabbit bunny!

and finally, i'd like to wish everyone a happy no longer 2002, since that year sucked like whoah and i just realized last night that it's over.

congratulations, everybody! let the radness continue!
