I don't have much to report... I haven't been terribly inspired as of late. It's been a long time since I've made any art - unless you count coming up with pretty nailpolish combinations, which I do not. I pretty much do my reading for class (or not, as is the case this week) and think about my new job and play Sims 2 all day. My TMJ seems to have cured itself "overnight"- the disk suddenly popped right back into place, I guess, and now I can eat and smile and talk without pain. I woke up unable to set my teeth together, and then I could open my mouth like this : :-0. It was fabulous. In other news, I started my new job on Sunday. It involves a lot of paperwork and the organization of people and places and I pray that I am capable and able to hold my own. Sunday, which is my third day of work, I will most likely be running the show alone - managing four parties in two locations back to back. I'm actually more nervous about taking over the big stuff - party requests, room rental, etc. Childcare, cashiering, and waiting tables have not prepared me for this kind of job and I feel a little lost.

i wrote this while my teacher was talking...

We read a poem about eating someone's plums and were asked to write a similar poem based on an insincere apology. That's what this is. I'm really just putting it up because I have nothing else and Sherry wants a new post...



Today
I slammed
my finger in
the door.

I cursed
like a sailor
then I
kicked a
puppy... your puppy.

I'm sorry I did it,
but even more so
that I was born
with long fingers
and that your
puppy peed
on my bed.
