Half hearted attempt: Today I had a peanut butter and banana smoothy. It was very satisfying. In a moment I will being doing laundry, washing dishes, playing Dance Dance Revolution on work out mode, doing as much Pilates as my out of shape body can handle, lifting weights, showering, going to school and drying out sunflower bits, crushing those bits with a mortar and pestle, weighing the crushed bits in tiny vials, bothering my advisor, then coming home and watching home movies while downloading research articles while watching Home Movies until my sister gets off work. Then we're going to get Subway and watch Inuyasha until I have to leave for the bar. Depending on how that goes, I may end up having another shower. I may also try to fit a nap in there somewhere. I hope Amy doesn't call to go swimming. I really ought to complete the things I decided to do today. Thanks for reading this, imaginary people who look at this site! Get a smoothy, they're good for you.

Peanut Butter, Eggs, and Dice: I normally don't bother with the site, but a random person saw it the other day and I felt obligated to put forth a little effort. I don't think that as a rule anyone looks at this. I've been kinda depressed lately, which I think was primarily related to my avoidance of thesis progress. I have to admit that a little bit of it is still fallout from the self-esteem attack I got on new years eve. Honestly, I miss Brian, which is weird because at first I didn't want to date him at all. I don't miss him like I have missed other people in the past. I don't feel like less of a person because he's gone, nor do I have aching regret that we did not work out. I mostly miss snuggling up against him in bed and feeling his fuzzy tummy. I miss having somebody to talk to without any drama or exagerration. I just miss being with him, but I fully understand that it will never happen again. It's a relatively pleasant kind of sadness and I'm suprised at myself for feeling it at all. I'm still reacting a little bit as I have in the past... making some bad decisions about boys, but that's more general self destruction than specifically break up related. I actually met one guy I like, but I don't think he's interested. Eh, I rarely get to be with my type. I feel bad that I'm still thinking of Brian and it's been almost 2 months, but I have no one to talk to about it. Maybe writing it out here will give me a little closure so I can ditch the other guys and spend some time alone getting my shit back together. I would love to be loved, but you can't make that happen. I can, however, write a kickass thesis about phytoremediation. Maybe that will score me a decent guy. :)

Saturday night: It's saturday night, and I'm working on my website! Woo-hoo! It's just that everytime I think about it, I remember how much it sucks. Like this addition will change much. Well, back to eating my dinner- peas and rice.

Poor Website Management: Um, updates... Single, graduated student, 4 cats, new car, washer and dryer. I think that's everything. I should be in the shower getting ready for Buffy night, but I was told by the powers that be, that if I did not do something with my website, it would be erased from the intraweb. So I thought, well this is such an important website, I have to keep it going for my fans. Anyway, here it is...updated stuff. There are pictures of my new boos, Sprity and Vaughnie. Bootsie the stray (formerly a housecat here, evicted with previous tenants) had kittens in my steps. I found homes for 4 but was left with 2. I had Bootsie spayed and let her back outside. Then the hooker/drug dealer women moved into the AMHA apartments next door and had about 6 strays, including Boots, rounded up and slaughtered. And now she and her clients keep me up at all hours with subwoofers that cost more than their cars. I can only pray that she will arrested for, um, annoying me and the world. I know that strays are a problem, but violence against animals needs to be stopped. We as humans should solve problems by killing each other, not the kitties.

Chronic Website Non-Maintenance: Hello there, Gentle Reader. It has been a long time since I have touched this site. For the zero people who look at it, that must have been very frustrating. Eh. I have added pictures of Stinky for his worldwide fans. I am also planning on setting aside some time on Sundays to improve the quality of this site and also check for spelling and gramatical errors. As for any actuall Mary news...a breaking story! I just spilled coffee on my desk! Then cleaned it up. This is the kind of instant news coverage I pride myself on. Also... am having birthday party. Hopefully people will come. Something else good may be happening, but is super-secret as of now. No, it's not my coming tiny tax refund, but that's a good guess. So, I am oddly happy as of right now. Usually, I only fiddle with this site when I'm super-bored and lonely. Ha ha, am becoming a more responsible person, working on things that don't need to be done. Or...just watched Bridget Jones' Diary and feel like sharing joy. Hmmm.

Theft Near Downtown Akron!: Not much news, but I am becoming the victim of petty theft. My newspaper has been disappearing on Sundays lately and due to my less than trusting nature, I am blaming my old child-molesting roommate. It could be any of my child molesting neighbors, but I keep seeing him around and about on Sundays when the paper is gone.

They Don't Shoot Horses, Do They?: It's Monday again. Sigh. I hung some miniblinds and bamboo curtains! What I really need to do is paint my woodwork so I can start wallpapering. Maybe I can con my sister into doing it.... Also, in an effort to rid my house of bad things, I am going to UPS a box of evil butthead jerk's stuff to his parent's house since I don't know where he lives. I hope they don't root through it, it has his unpaid credit card statements in there. I am keeping the Izone, that's only fair seeing how I bought film for it and all. I also have a new fridge and microwave as well as bacon cooker thingy. I am truly becoming an adult with all these earthly possessions. YEA STUFF!!!!

Tons O News: It's odd how when I have news, I'm too busy living the news to write it down. I've moved, I'm smack dab in the middle of finals week, I bought a new desk, my sister has a secret website, etc. It's craziness. My old friend Amy and I hung out the other day after months of not speaking (again). My whole life is falling into place...well, school is over and the horrible sense of despair is slowly lifting. Today is Cinco de MAyo, according to my Dad. There will be drinking and door prizes and all sorts of crap. Well....it is time to assemble the new desk. Maybe when I start my job at the City again I can touch up the site on my lunch hours.

Spooty Tunes: Tra la la. Spring break erased my brain. I didn't even drink or go anywhere or anything. I suck. I'm housesitting for my folks, which means babying a 90 pound dog and cleaning up cat vomit. I shouldn't complain, they do it the other 51 weeks of the year. I'm terrified that my current boyfriend is unhappy with me, but I can't think of a good reason to dump me...except for movies he hates. I dunno. It's my spring time paranoia. I get dumped seasonally and we're heading full-force into dumping season. Maybe I should just stop worrying and enjoy myself...in case it's all going to end soon!!! Anyway...aside from my unwarranted fear of being cast aside, I cleaned my house! All over the house. Now I just need to vaccum and finish decorating. I've altered my style from what I think is tasteful to what I think is simultaneously tasteful and will make Jim want to commit suicide. Coming soon....copy of a note Jim wrote calling me a cunt!!! Weeeee!

Jesus Christ: Ok. Apparently my email to JoAnna has set off some kind of Karmic Ex-Boyfriend Bomb. Chad left a note on my car asking me to go get danishes with him on Sunday. Not just a note, a dinosaur cartoon featuring the Voplisaurus and Marysaurus Rex, characters dating back to Feb 1999 or so. As much as the weak, silly part of my brain would love to believe that a person can go through a massive personality change in three months, I'm going to have to go with sensible part of my brain that say "Jonathan is a nice guy with very few flaws. Stay with him." Anyway...there was the note. I called Chad back to present the argument that I moved out a year and 4 days ago (from the day I received the note). He accepted that and hung up on me. Now my fuckhead roommate left a note that he called the house, but not when. Who knows if he was calling back or if this was a pre-note call. Either way...I need to go to class now. Ugh. Stoopid school.

Learning New Things: (thought I'd try out titles) I learned something recently! Never ever ask the girl your ex cheated on you with if she was actually assaulted by said ex! Why, you may ask, it seems so intriguing and pressing a question. Well, if you ask her, instead of the "FUCK YOU WHORE" reply you wouldn't really have minded, she may EMAIL YOUR ASS!!! Eek!!! Anyway...never ask questions when you would rather not think or talk about the events/individuals that the questions refer to. Also: I am sick. My face hurts. I hate bronchitis. I learned that too. Bronchitis is new for me, I prefer sinus infections. I also need to go to bed here soon. It's late and I am old and feeble. Talk to you later, faithful readers....*Nick and Sarah I mean. Be sure to check out my birthday party on the day after my birthday. Where: My parent's house. What: Dinner and cake. Why: In case my Nanny says a swear word. How: Either by car or dogsled pulled by Juneau January. Por que: To support the aging process and check progress of my diet from antibiotics! (5lbs. so far - I hate ceftin.)

Two items of bad news: 1) Had a dog for 5 days then right before I found it a new home, the owners stole it back. They have no idea how to take care of the puppy (or their kids, I'm sure). I was very sad for days. Maybe it will run away again and I can hide it right away. Note: puppy pics coming soon. 2) Horrible dream last night. I moved in with my ex and was happy. Made me feel like shit all day today. Also: remembered that said ex should be out of fake jail by now. Odd aspect of dream: ex had cat trained to pull a cord and set off an alarm whenever I tried to go upstairs. Possible dream analysis: other girlfriends hidden on second floor? he was upstairs so I should not go there? cats are annoying sometimes? Other odd aspect: giant teddy bear impaled on flagpole in backyard. Possibilities: I have dumb dreams? Final dream aspect: Doors, windows had no glass, air was missing. Possibilities: this is typical of childhood nightmares. Maybe this is my young adult nightmare... making the same mistakes over and over? Total dream meaning: I decided last night to tell Jonathan that he is the nicest guy I've ever dated and hope it didn't freak him out. So, the dream means don't tell him because whenever I really like a guy he does bad things to me and I let them walk all over me. Solution: buy video game for his birthday and continue to just be pals w/snugglin'. Huzzah. Yeah for dreams, boo for ex-boyfriend dreams.
