r.i.p. sir willoughby (alternate spelling: willowby)
sir willoughby, the happiest and most wonderful fish with the most amazing survival story ever, has left us. we mourn only for ourselves, as sir willoughby is the happiest fishy ever now swimming forever in that great body of water we like to call lake michigan. sir willoughby was born in the early 21st century, no one knows exactly when. his mother was princess of sri lanka and his father was an attorney working on behalf of lesser-privileged fish at petco's everywhere.
sir willoughby (s-dubs, as he was known to his family and closest friends) found himself captured and living in a tiny bubble at a petstore. all hope seemed lost when his eye became infected and gigantic and a fish died right outside his window, leaving his corpse clinging to the side of s-dubs's tank. one day, in early 2003, a nice couple came in and the guy decided he wanted to take s-dubs home. so he nursed him back to health and the eye thingy went away. sir willoughby became the happiest fish to ever live. he loved being petted, fed, and taken on trips to southern indiana. he would headbutt your finger when you put it in the tank. he bit me once. he was a loud chewer. he was a muchloved fish and a lucky one at that.
the funeral services were conducted at promontory point, on the banks of lake michigan. the service was attended by his adopted human father mike, who gave a stirring eulogy, and his surrogate mother, raedy. he was lain to rest on july 26, 2004 in lake michigan. he is preceded in death by a half brother, baconface II, and survived by his fishy daddy, surrogate fishy mommy, brother baconface III, and sister dr. snickers von floppenstein. in lieu of flowers, please make donations to the sir willoughby college trust fund for lesser-privileged pet store fish. may he rest in peace.

thanks to some gracious financial assistance from good ole mom and dad, i'm no longer totally freeking out. woo. i am kind of exhausted though for no reason. i need an exercise regimen or something. anyways
mike and i went with his brother to see the whitesox the other day. that was a lot of fun. i wanna see more baseball games. even though they lost and got rained on. i find baseball really exciting for some reason, which is kind of weird.
our apartment is really messy and we need to sorta clean it up for when liz comes.
i'm listening to a really cool cd. i think some of you would like it.
i'm a dork. i think some of you know that.
being poor is tiring. ah well. some of you know that. most of you know that actually. lalalalalalalala....
okay i guess i'll get back ta work. blah.

poopy.
suck suck suck.
so this has been kind of a crappy week. but good still. whatever.
the first part of the week was cool; i got to spend it with my siblings while my parents went to vegas for their anniversary. we had a good time and they had a good time. so it was all good.
then it got kinda bad.
my cellphone bill came and apparently i went way crazy talking this month or something because i had a $60 overage charge. so yeah my phone will probably be turned off soon.
also i tried to give mike a haircut but it turned bad when i shaved a strip in the back of his head. yeah, really. maybe i'll post a photo if he'll let me. but he probably wont.
today i got a parking ticket. city of chicago parking tickets are $50 in case anyone was wondering.
then also i went to the bank to deposit my paycheck (you know, my rent money for this month), and it's all gone. because i guess i overdrafted my account, but they continued to let me use my debit card. i knew i was almost out of money so it's little charges, probably amounting to about $50. but its about 6 separate charges; and each time i used it they charged me $33. so it ate up pretty much my whole paycheck!! yayayyy!!!
and now i can't pay my rent!! yayyy!! maybe we'll get *surprise* evicted!! that'll be fun. haha
okay i'm finding the situation sorta humorous but i'm a little bummed. i'm going to go into the bank tomorrow and demand they reverse the charges. then i'm going to close my account if they dont' because i don't wanna deal with people who screw over poor people.
yesterday the president came to glenview which is where mike's parents live and mike and i went to protest. i made a tshirt that said bush and had a circle slash through it (i made it myself). and mike wore a 'stop bush' sticker that looks like a stop sign and says bush on it. we couldn't get anywhere near it. but we booed. and everyone else was cheering and being rich and waving their flags and giggling about the president. but we were booing with mike's dad. then after getting some dirty looks we left. it was a little depressing because everyone there was all like 'yay bush' except for us and a few other people. seriously like less than ten protestors there. what the hell is wrong with these people? are they just ignorant, or evil? it's sad. then bush went to a $25,000/plate fundraiser in an even richer suburb and we were watching the news and there was this little kid on there like 'well i guess he probably came here because we're like the richest people in cook county. teehee' i wanted to slap him. but i'm just grumpy.
anyways thats the news from the south side. outie.

photos logged. stardate: today.
just so you all know, mike an i are celebrating patrick stewart's birthday today!! happy birthday, patrick stewart!! we have called it 'make it so' day and i'm going to print out large pictures of patrick stewart's head and we're going to make masks of his head and walk around saying make it so and maybe even we will watch videos of him or something. and i'm going to hold mike down and shave his head. anyways to see some photos, click on the the "new photos" link to the right. the old photo blog is located under "old photos". i'm too lazy to deal with that blog, especially with my new life philosophy, which i unveiled in liz's comments section. basically it goes like this:
"ive made a major life decision. that i don't have to be a famous professor or whatever to be happy. i don't see the point of working myself to death when i would rather be hanging out and having fun and getting by. not that i'm not going to still do my best or whatever, but i'm not going to kick my own ass over this. life is too short and i'd rather go swimming, frankly. so don't work too hard, lizzie (or anyone, really). it's a very relaxing and happy revelation to make. i don't need tons of money or the best job or whatever. i just wanna have fun..."
so yeah i'm a slacker now. well not entirely, because you know that's not really my nature. but at least a little bit. or a lot. or hell whatever i feel like because i'm an adult and i can do whatever i want. so nyah.
hehe
okay the photos so far are only of the march, because that's all i have with me, i don't have my computer with me at school which is where all of my photos are. i have some of mike wearing makeup.
