and they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

know who i hate? runners. it's not the running that bothers me, really, it's the attitude. the "my-day-starts-with-a-thirty-mile-run-i'd- like-to-see-you-be-that-motivated-fattie" attitude. i can't imagine real runner types having fun. though i can imagine them at home on a friday all, "i don't want to go out tonight because i have my run tomorrow morning and you know how i get if i don't run." why do they need all that exercise anyway? i wonder if they're addicted to endorphins. maybe their bodies don't naturally produce as many endorphins as normal people's so the only time they feel happy is when they're heart rate is up. maybe they sold their souls to the devil in exchange for eternal life the only condition being that they must run every day of it FOREVER.

i knew i was going to hate my methods teacher before i knew she was a runner. she has this pinched up face and a whiny voice and when you tell her things she only ever half listens. her skin is all wrinkly, like she's had too much sun, but the perpetual scowl tells me that she hasn't been lounging at the beach or climbing mountains or anything that might bring one real joy. bet she gets all that sun damage running around williamsville in tighty shorts while most people are still sleeping. she's not even one of those "highly efficient people" who never procrastinate and have their schedule in an hour-to-hour planner. she's actually really disorganized. and unprepared. and her clothes don't match.

why won't she just give me my methods grades. why?! i sent her a hundred emails. she's only responded to one, just yesterday saying:

"I'll submit your grade today."

but the grade isn't posted! why couldn't she tell me my grade in the email she took the trouble to send me? i bet if you're reading this you know why...i do. it's because i'm getting a C. I can smell a C a mile away and I'm getting one. my GPA is a 3.95 and she's going to fuck it all up just because she doesn't like me. i hate runners. or maybe athletes in general. i'm going to spend the rest of my night doing what i feel is the opposite of what my methods teacher would want: watching weeds and eating peanut butter covered pretzels while i brood.

do you find it hard, remembering?

apparently when i pulled out of a parking spot i bumped someones car so gently that i didn't even notice and am now being sued or something. what's worse than being sued? worse: the buffalo police dept sending threatening letters to mike's FATHER under whom the car is registered. i want to see pictures of the "damage" done to this car. i want to know right now if i can see this damage without a magnifying glass.

i can't fucking sneeze in this city without someone trying to arrest me and it makes me want to do things that are worth arresting me for. alofkasjdlfajsdfahsfjklasfdklj! bah!

i haven't had a "weekend" all summer. i've had a total of four days off this month. work is insane, mike's gonna kill me, and fafsa won't send me a new PIN so that i can accrue some more debt and maybe/maybe not finish school (finally) this year.

someone, hurry up and give me another parking ticket. THIS WEEK DOESN'T SUCK ENOUGH.

i'm all in a ball on your front lawn.

shake
shake
shake
shake the frame of this house
distress the wood make it shout
oh oh ohaaohhh
and as sharp as i sting, as sharp as i sing
it still soothes you, doesn't it?
like a lick of icecream.

Paris Hilton's mom calls McCain's ad a 'waste of money'

WASHINGTON (AP) — Paris Hilton's mother doesn't share John McCain's sense of humor.

McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, said last week that his campaign ad mocking Democrat Barack Obama with images of Hilton and singer Britney Spears was part of an attempt to inject humor into the presidential race.

On Sunday, Hilton's mother, Kathy Hilton, a McCain donor, registered her disapproval.

"It is a complete waste of the country's time and attention at the very moment when millions of people are losing their homes and their jobs," Kathy Hilton said in a short article posted on the liberal Huffington Post Web site. "And it is a completely frivolous way to choose the next president of the United States."

The ad plays on Obama's popularity by dismissing him as a mere celebrity, like Hilton and Spears. The Obama campaign has said the ad is proof that McCain would rather launch negative attacks than debate important issues.

McCain on Friday denied that his campaign had taken a negative turn, saying, "We think it's got a lot of humor in it, we're having fun and enjoying it."

Kathy Hilton, however, was unpersuaded, calling the ad "a complete waste of the money John McCain's contributors have donated to his campaign."

Kathy Hilton and her husband donated a total of $4,600 to McCain's campaign earlier this year.
