1. I want to like pears, but they're too mealy. Ick.
2. Keeter and I might go see Ben Harper when he comes to Massey Hall! Yay! I haven't seen Keeter in 4.5 years. Too long.
3. After seeing a little girl almost get smucked by a car while trying to cross the road, I decided my (future) children will not cross the road alone until they're 16. And even then I'll still watch from the sidewalk.
4. Someone I went to public school with contacted me on Facebook. I haven't seen her in, oh, 25 years maybe. She has *FIVE* children. Jeezaloo, that's a lot of kids.
5. J-Bot's dog was sick this week. He had to spend a few days at the vet's and have all these expensive tests done. Turns out he ate a really big stick. Whole. $700.00 to find out the dog is a retard. I could have told them that for free. Luckily, the dog pooped out the big stick (whole) and he's fine. But still dumb.
6. I keep dreaming that I'm driving. It's not a relaxing dream. I wish I'd quit dreaming it. Of course, that's what I'll dream about tonight...
7. I laughed like Woody Woodpecker today, totally by accident. Then I laughed at myself for laughing like a cartoon bird. Weird.
8. Maybe I only have seven things?
9. My sister's friend works at a hospital, and the details are sketchy, but sometimes they replace dead people's bones with broomsticks, and use the bones for research. I'm sure they have to get consent before they do that. I'm also sure the story could have been fabricated. My sister may have been drunk when she heard that story. Or made up that story. Who knows.
10. I waved at someone I thought I knew earlier tonight. Turns out I didn't know them, but they waved back anyway. Ah, friendly small towns...
11.  

• Stop using antiquated phrases like "ambulation" and "antiquated". Mr. Burns from the Simpsons has a cooler vocab than you do. And no one says "vocab"! Cripes.
• Be nicer to yourself.
• Be as nice as you can, at all times (see what I mean? This'll last maybe half a day).
• Stop bringing up that subject, because you know damn well there's nothing that can be done about it at the moment, and harping about it will just make you both feel cruddy. (Annnnd, I'll give you 10 guesses what I brought up first thing this morning. That's right! That. Am such a retarded ninny who can't stick with anything).
• Forgive yourself for being a retarded ninny who can't stick with anything. Besides, that's not an entirely true statement. You've stuck with being retarded for years now.
• Take an honest, hard look at the situation and make an informed decision about what's right, not what you think is right.
• Take more initiative.
• Do more Stuff.
• Achieve and maintain zenlike state of mind
• Eat more fibre.

Go ahead and start making bets about which of these things I'll actually accomplish, and which ones I'll never even attempt.
