First of all, Happy Birthday

taraisagoddess! (Her birthday was actually yesterday, but I'm a bad friend and was busy all day.)

Ok then, yesterday was Singles Awareness Day. To honor the occation,

zorikin and

justdandy and I organized the "Anti-Cupid Task Force." We made t-shirts and everything.

I learned how to use iron-on sheets. They were very different from the one's I had used a loooon time ago. The manufacterers finally figured out how to have white in the picture. That is good. But it was confusing for me at the time. Also confusing was how you didn't ahve to flip the images before you ironed them on. Perhaps the reason I couldn't understand the directions was because I haven't been eating very much recently. But ariana saved the day. She read them and explained them to me.

We made spiffy task force shirts that had hearts crossed out. If they hold up in the wash, I may wear mine more often. We got respect with our shirts. It was nifty.

After that, we got all dressed up and went for a walk. There, everyone was really nice and let me vent about frustrating issues in my life. And they offered stuff too. About people with no personalities and people who are used to getting their own way. Which was actually true and I wonder why I never noticed it before. Perhaps I was just too caught up in my own little thing.

Then we went to the parades. While finding a good spot, I saw megan. It was so unexpected, I nearly fainted. Neither greg nor megan were SUPPOSED to be there. They should ahve been off doing their own thing. They never said or implied otherwise. This was just one more stab in the back from the long line of things they should ahve done differently. I wanted to cry right there, but I hate doing that in public. I saw greg too, a bit after that. But he seemed to want nothing to do with me. (Answer my email!)

Kelly and Charlie had told me they were coming to the parades and I had been looking for them, but since they were with greg and megan I had to make the decision to stand somewhere else. That was sad cause kelly finally got her ring and I wanted to be there and be happy for her.

I'm really glad maryanna and ben were there for me. I would ahve just gone home at that point if I was alone. I had intended on keeping crying at a minimum that day. (Avoiding it altogether was too high a goal, as I cried that morning already.)

It was very cold waiting for the parades and I felt really bad for maryanna. I wish I had thought well enough ahead to get her a coat... But she was really strong and endured through an entire parade. And she even got a (contraband) rose! After Sparta, ben and I walked her to the streetcar so that she could go home and defrost with a hot shower. I think I owe her a cup of hot cocoa for entertaining me. Yup.

Then Ben and I returned to our spot which was now overrun by small evil children. They kept trying to get all the fancy stuff from Pegasus, even though they already had a ton of toys in their hands. One lady in the float even yelled at them about it, cause they were being terribly greedy. I blame them for my lack of pegasus plushie. Yes. Foul children.

There were many horses at the parade though. I want a horse. Just not one tht makes angry faces at me. I was worried about that one that was stamping its foot. It seemed a little annoyed at something. I also don't like horses that poo right in front of where I'm standing. Makes it very hard to go up to floats because there is horse poo all in the way. Bah. Horses need diapers.

But the nasty children stepped in it and one dragged his coat in it. So perhaps the universe was trying to clean its mistakes up at least a little. (Now if only it would fix some other massive errors....)

After the parades, we were FROZEN. So ben and I came back to me room to defrost. Maryanna got stuck with an evil essay of doom to write. So sad. Ben and I ordered dinner. I had to make the super scary phone call (with which I was beginning to hyperventilate a little) so ben paid for food. That was nice of him. Meant I didn't need to go back out into the cold to the atm. (Though, the atm is much closer now. I like that.)

So we ate food (Though I didn't eat much. My tummy is still not quite sure what this "food" thing is.) and watched tv and saw the WEIRDEST teen titans yet. There was an evil mothman supervillian. With a very blond daughter. (I guess even supervillians have family lives.) Completely normal looking. Must take after her mother. Anyway, her boyfriend broke up with her so she demanded that her father make robin take her to the prom. You can bet starfire was not happy with that. If he doesn't play along, the girl releases a swarm of mutant insects to destroy the city. The end was a battle with the girls boyfriend, who had a giant spider as his HEAD! It was so freaky. There was a little human body just dangling under the spider. I want to know what kind of drugs were involved in the making of this episode.

Popeye is also pretty freaky.

Soon it was getting late and I didn't mean to keep falling asleep but I've just been very emotionally exhausted lately. (Oh, ben, ariana says if you're ever over and she falls asleep, don't take it as her kicking you out. She likes sleeping while people are over and talking.) So ben went home and I went to bed and now I'm at work. I was thinking of going to Barkus today, but I doubt I will because it's REALLY cold out, and usually colder in the quarter.

Thank you everyone for keeping me busy all day. I appreciate it more than you can possibly imagine. It reminded me that I'm not a completely worthless being, even if others make me feel that way.
