I’m probably the only person on my block who thinks that the concentric fungus rings on my lawn evokes how dreary my neighborhood is. While I’d like to ride my bike or walk my dog on giant trails, the only thing that runs through my mind are flexors and extensors. My brain works by relation. If someone mentions a person to me, I can recognize the sound of their voice, something stupid they’ve said, and the color of the little food stains on their shirt - brown for beans, red for grape juice, neither of which go together.
You could call me a lazy-ass, extremely adequate, but I have spurts of dependency. If an assignment’s due the next day, even if I’ve had two weeks to do it, I work best at the last minute, which no one seems to understand. I don’t get it either. I usually finish it and toddle off to sleep at some ungodly hour, tempted to do it again the next day. I can’t stand messiness, and if provoked, I will clean for acres around me. That’s, if you can get me to do it. Otherwise, I’m going to sit around and act retarded — it’s a lot more fun than picking up a sponge you KNOW doesn’t want anything to do with you.
My ideal career combines the Internet, a lot of animals (none of this hippopotamus shit, just dogs, cats, and such), and some form of Latin. Oh, don’t get me wrong, they’re all fine by themselves. But if I could be an online vet for the Vatican, complete with RSS diagnoses, I’m in.
This site is a culmination of three hours a day of debugging and designing. Nah, it’s not big. It’s lackluster, but if you look at it in the right light, it sparkles, which is more than enough for me. It’s gone from tables to no tables; font tags to CSS. Some day it might even be great, but you’ll have to wait for that.

Okay, I’m in a bit of a rush because I have things to finish, but I just stumbled over your site and I really just have to say that I love the way you write. Especially the part about the sponge, yo.

Thanks! My writing style’s fluctuated so much over the years that, looking back on my older journal entries, I have to smack myself in the face because of how stupid they are. I guess I’m just always trying to improve (this makes writing a novel EXTREMELY HARD >Thanks!

Maybe you could write for an animals magazine for a career. Most stuff will probably be online only by then and you could throw in the occasional Latin saying in your columns

And by then, everyone would know Latin, right? ^_^
But yeah, that’s a pretty good idea. I never thought about involving writing that way. I still have about 6 years to decide what I want with my life - and then even more if I have any money left over. I’ll consider it :)
