all my little plans and schemes - nothing but a bunch of dreams. all i really needed to do - was maybe some love. i don't expect you to understand - the kingdom of heaven is in your hand. i don't expect you to wake from your dreams - too late for pride now it seems. why must we be alone? it's real, love - yes, it's real. -- john lennon

musings

My goal for the impending school year is to stop taking myself so damn seriously.

Today I walked a dog for like two and half hours. And endured well-deserved mockery over my pseudo-crush on a waiter at the Chinese restaurant.

Which leads me to the imminent question: how on EARTH do people ask out complete strangers? Are most people seriously that much less awkward than I am? Although, I would have felt slightly better about myself if my black shirt wasn't smothered with white cat hair.

My cat hates me. She only lets me hold her until she is satisfied that she's deposited enough of herself on me that I will be nothing less than a walking embarrassment, then bites my shoulder and yowls until I put her down.

Cats are cool. I think they're a lot smarter than we give them credit for. The weird thing about cats is that they have a myseriously intelligent look about them, like they're carefully choosing what words to respond to to keep me guessing at how much they can actually understand. People say that China is going to be the next economic superpower, but I'm not convinced. I'm pretty sure it's only a matter of time before cats put aside their inhibitions and take over the world. In which case I'd better find a way to get my cat to stop hating me.

If my cat were a person she would be an albino Roseanne.

That's why the Chinese kill cats and eat them. They know.

I, personally, have a lofty vision of ALL farm animals and house pets scheming behind their owners/producers' backs via the world wide web, of course. They meet in those chatrooms that nobody in their right mind would dare to enter (ie: Over 80 and still single!) and discuss their plans to take over the world.

In a not-so-recent study conducted by "The Onion" (probably two years ago when I read it), the masterminds behind this plan must be dolphins. Dolphins have recently developed opposable thumbs that are capable of pushing the "big red button" towards nuclear war, if you know what I mean...

I'm quite pleased about all of this, really, and would like to think that these furry/not so furry felines and other..animals..would spare me since I don't eat their mothers.

I'm not a mother eater!
