i move in a week to go back to uni.



i was talking with my roommate earlier tonight and we're already planning to go rollerskating at the roller rink wearing pig tails and short shorts. (go 70s!)



i'm really fortunate to have found her, she makes me go out on the weekends and i make her stay in on the weekdays. we are a very good match, and she's minnesotan.


finally - a non shitty roommate.


...

after months of fruitless searching, i finally found my dream toy: a button maker.

my hopes and dreams were fulfilled as i got the $.7 change back from a man with a moustache at the children's craft store.


here was my first project, dedicated to our darling, cujo:

so this morning at 11:30 i was thinking to myself "self...what would you like for lunch???"


so i thought about how i wouldn't mind some sweet meats for a sandwich.

i drove up the interstate to a little known butcher "connors meats"


i got out of the car and went in to order a half pound of their SWEETEST sweet meats, but i was taken aback when i saw that the butcher was, in fact, our beloved bear....

who could look so good on such a shot other than my cat? ^

ryan secrest, host of american idol, i think is one of the greatest philosophs of my generation.

behind that large, vasoleined, doctored up smile of his is a tongue that speaks such far-reaching truths as "simon is a meanie!" and of course, who could forget "that paula, she's a great judge of character."


he's kind as well...always welcoming ME back to his program and hoping that I will stay tuned (he need not hope, his deep...

so silence all you whiners who have nothing wrong.


go bitch elsewhere where people care.


i want to be inside the rainbow, strange colors and sights.
i want to experience red, i want to be inside the lights.



go on now that you're more apt to live a more fulfilled life.

let's try some western hemisphere action for a change up.

current conditions in st. paul:

temperature: 83F (28)
heat index: 90F (32C)
humidity: 76%
dew point: 76F (24C)


now.


let us compare that dew point with that of the rain forest.

in a town in southern brazil (the rainforest) today, the dew point was only 50F.


so.....it's worse than a jungle here in st. paul.



*waits for storm of death to descend...

NICK



my friend who works for the duluth newspaper called me last night:

her: do you know nick schultz of the wild?

me: ABUUUUUUUUUHHH


so i let her know of my love for nick.


she told me she didn't know anything about hockey so i basically wrote her interview for her.


i can't wait to see his answers

is the nastiest sound ever.


and now i have a mosquito bite on my achilles tendon.

"dear shannon,

we are proud to inform you that due to your grades spring semester you have made the dean's list in the college of arts and sciences."






i made the dean's list!!!!


this means i'm in the top 10% of the college of arts and sciences.

i was 5 hours old.

so...i got asked out on a date tonight.


this would be the first time i've ever been asked out onto a date (not the first time i've dated, the first time i've been asked). what's more funny ("funny" ) is that he asked me out for my birthday, but i told him i was busy.


good things are worth the wait, hey?

we're both hinting at a going outage.


he has wednesday off - casually mentioned in his email to me.


wednesday is my birthday - casually mentioned in my email to him.



brilliant.

35.








or more.
