X is for Mr.X
Cindy, a small girl, 5 years old this October, carried on conversations with a one "Mr.X" online for over two weeks before her mother found out and promptly canceled their internet sevice, but not before severly punishing cindy by locking her in the pantry with moldy bread and old potatoes for at least one hour.

So a couple of things to mention.
First, things have calmed down a bit and have settled into a semi-comfortable, albeit precarious, rhythm. I am still looking for a new place to live, but it isn't a paramount concern anymore.
I've donated my non-functioning car to charity and good riddance. That thing has never given me anything but trouble, and it's about time I cut my losses.
School is going alright. Although recently a professor graded an informal piece of writing I did, and only gave me a "B" He said it was a good critical, against-the -grain reading, but that perhaps it was a little too obvious. So I guess it was "obviously against the grain". Is that possible? I guess so. I think he was being unduly harsh, after all it was informal and not supposed to be a essay worthy bit of writing.
I saw the film "Garden State" and while it was a really good film, and I recommend that y'all go see it, I thought it was maybe a little too aware of its own quirkyness. Like it was trying too hard to be a strange, quirky, precious film. But I still really enjoyed it and thought it was well made. I wouldn't mind owning the DVD.
In other news, I am beginning to feel the stress of my last semester. I have a final Project to write, and although it is only 25 pages, it feels like a daunting task. This in addition to all the work I need to do to apply to grad schools.
So that's about it. I recently noticed that I need to finish my alphabet, so I'll be getting on that soon, but otherwise I hope everyone is having a good time doing whatever they are doing. Unless they're killing someone, then in that case I hope they feel like hell.

One of the many problems in trying to maintain a reputable sanatorium is simply the amount of people it takes. I mean one has to take into account first the doctors that provide the medical services, but also guards, cooks, janitors, receptionists, tour guides, grounds keepers, animal trainers, board members, accountants, architects, translators, engineers, electricians, pharmacists, artists, and mad scientists, not to mention the entire patient population. Costs run high and the returns are low. Once in awhile a patient becomes functional again, but then there is always the worry they will randomly amputate an innocent bystander and be sent back, adding the insult of apparently not having cured the person in the first place. And then, of course, is the problem of having the thing named after yourself. Who needs this pressure? Not me, that’s for sure. Just the other day I was assaulted by a man whose mother was sent to the sanatorium for strangling four cats and then hanging them from her clothes line. Apparently this man was very close to his mother, and judging from his demeanor, I have a suspicion that we might be seeing him very soon. Perhaps he and his mother can get adjoining cells. Anyway sorry to burden you with my miseries, but I thought I should let everyone know that it’s no cake walk. Thanks for reading, and may I never have to see your face on the other side of a padded door.

Sorry about the long absence of posts, but I was gone for a while and then for a while I did not have access to the internet. Wait. I'm not sorry. You bitches just have to WAIT damnit.
anyway, for a week, ok not really just 5 days, I was in Colorado attending a family reunion. It was fun, got to see many family members in various states of distress. (they all have small children) But here's the thing. Our reunion was at a YMCA camp. An Especially religious YMCA camp (I know the YMCA is a religious organization, but usually its pretty tame)Anyway, for 5 days I was surrounded by freakos.now I don't mean any disrespect to those believers who may read my blog, but these people probably reach sexual climax while reading the bible. Adding to my discomfort was the fact that this camp was at 9000 feet. My sister says there was 43% less oxygen there than at sea level (and since she's lived in Europe, I believe her)so it was difficult to breathe, making it that much harder to run from the guitar wielding Christians (like hell I'm going to a sing along worship service.) at my most desperate, I seriously considered running naked through the woods shouting the praises of some earthy pagan goddess,but luckily it never came to that. Fortunately my relatives never realized just how strange I can be and so we got along fine, I even went white water rafting. (actually I'd say it was a bit more like egg shell rafting. It was kinda tame) but overall I had fun, and a moderate amount of fun is all one can hope for at such a....reverent camp.
