Dear Dr. C,

A permeating and totally awesome force seized me last night, and I couldn't do my homework. I am not at liberty to divulge the details surrounding the incident, but I am sure that you will understand, and accept my homework assignment late. Can you help a sister out?

Thanks!
Goose

Sir Goose

About one month ago, after an inspiring conversation, and a whole lot of studying late at night, I cut off most of my hair. I looked at myself in the mirror as I held a chunk of it (still connected to my head) in my hand. A voice from inside of me said "do it!" really loudly, and so I did it. My hands shook because I was so giddy and sleepy, as I cut the rest off.

Today I got called sir for a second time since I first cut my hair. By a guy playing a saxaphone. I sat down to listen to him play and when I got up to leave I bent over to put a dollar bill into his upturned hat, and he said "Thank you sir"

Not "thank you ma'am" or just "thank you" but "thank you SIR"! He never actually looked up at me, but out of the corner of his eye, I was a "sir." The first time someone ever called me "sir" was a few weeks ago at Wendy's. Sure, it was a ditsy cashier who laughed incesently, but no ditsy cashier had ever called me "sir" before.

So, I am Sir Goose now. Pleased to meet you.

THE BEAST LAY DEAD
AND SO I WENT TO SLEEP
I PULLED THE COVERS OVER MY HEAD
and thought about sheep.
It was very peaceful.

The end.

I like malt balls and soft beds! I also like clouds and cinnamon toast crunch cereal. I also like geese and horses.

OK GOODNIGHT!

I want to write about my bus ride today. It was very boring and painful at first. I thought I might explode from boredom. I was so bored and sad about leaving home that I tried to strike up a conversation with the girl sitting next to me but she wasn't feeling very talkative. I normally hate it when the person sitting next to me on the 3 hour bus ride tries to talk for all 3 hours, but today, it's all that I wanted to do. Anything other than staring out the window or at the back of the chair in front of me. I wanted to write or to draw but you can't really write or draw comfortably when there is someone sitting next to you.... its just too cozy in a bus to draw or write because if the person next to you looks at what you're doing it would be ackward. Especially if you're drawing their feet, or if you're writing something like "yesterday jordan and i ate a bike, and then we farted strawberries".

The 2 people across the isle from me were having all kinds of great conversation. It made me very jealous. I think the girl was Dirk Nowitzki the basketball player's sister because she was german, talked about basketball nonstop, and looked just like him. Plus, her friend said that he was really excited because now he could get into all the Maverick games for free.

I called my mom and I talked to her for a long time and then I talked to my dad for awhile, and then I called up Melio but she didn't answer, and then I called up Alice and told her I couldn't make it to the soccer game, then I talked to Nida, then I tried calling someone else, and then my phone died. Alex was kind and picked me up at the bus station. He was wearing his pirate shirt.

Then! I did some homework... went to Metro... did some homework there... then returned home. did some more homework.

and now all i can think is that life is myriad. Only because i love the way the word myriad sounds. my ree id. myriad. It makes me think of mermaids and wonderland. I also like mermaids and wonderland! but ESPECIALLY I like myriad mermaids in wonderland.

i am insane.

The whole world is completely insane, and so am I. Nobody ever "went" insane. They always were insane. Totally, entirely, absolutely crazy.

Four more years. What can you do?

In case you have all forgotten:

Windy pops is an expression refering to the occurance of expeling gas from both "enterance" and "exit" holes at the same time. It is generally a fun thing to do. Happy pre-election day!
