Opposums and llamas and Ferrets, Oh my!

So, currently, Liz N. is babysitting an oppossum. I am supposed to go over and chill with her, and it, only she wasn't home when I stopped by (I think she may have been picking it up from the nature centre) and I have to go to soccer in an hour or so, and therefore, I might not be able to spend some quality time with the oppossum. This would make me v. sad.

While oppossums are rather exciting, I think the more interesting story is that of Elizabeth's cousin's boyfriend's neighbours. They have pet llamas (did you know that if you pronounce that word the spanish way, yamas, people haven't a clue in hell what you're talking about?) in their backyard. When LizN asked LizH about it, she was like "what colour?" and LizH said "one's black and the other's brown and creme mixed" and LizN was like "I knew it, they always come that way!" And I was kinda like...Liz...how do you know about the distribution of llamas? Like everyone's neighbours have llamas chillin in their backyard...

Then, all these queer animals kind of made me think of the time that I went with various people to Aribica and there saw a ferret. Who's name was Loki. Yes, people have odd pets. Chelsea's cousins (better known as the Gideons) have a chinchilla, which are really cute, soft fuzzy rodents. Who bathe in dirt. You know, come to think of it, David has one of those, too... And Jessy P has an albino snake (or she did anyway- I haven't talked to her in a long, long time). I've always wanted some form of reptillian. Just to creep out mother. Or one of those turantula things. All I have is a fish. Oh, and that dog, thing, Sparky, animal. And lots of geese that crap on my lawn.

So, today was fun, I want to the mall with Caitlin Anne, and she got these sweet pins from Hot Topic, and a poster, too. I feel the need to share with the world that these were not just any pins/poster, but HARRY POTTER ones! They're great- oh, and she got her licence. Not the picture, though- I had to drop her off so they could go get it.

I bathed yesterday, and much of the hair dye came out. It's rather unfortunate. The game yesterday sucked. My back went into spasms. It was bad.

So, whilst driving home, I decided that I am obsessed with knowing where roads end. I have to know where every road goes, where it starts and where it ends. I know the begining and end to: Hilliard (from just past Bradly on to Franklin in Lakewood, which I drove to get to Ed's), Center Ridge (which turns into Cleveland street in Elyria or Lorain or one of those, then stops at wooster in fairaview), columbia ( from the lake to just past Lorain) Walter (which is not far at all) etc, etc, etc. Then there's those roads that I only know one end of: Lake (which turns into E. Erie in Elyria, which I jsut learned of on Monday when I got slightly...disoriented on my way to Danny's), Walker (which I have never driven down any further than that Dairy Queen), Clauge ( how far past the highway does it go?) and others... Then, of course, are the awesome roads that change names (leer/nagel, W210/Wagar, Crocker/Basset). But the most mysterious and enigmatic of them all are those that I do not know the beggining of the end of- Which are Lorain and Detroit. Neither of which I would bother following, as I hate driving down both of them. But still... not that any of this has any relavence to life in any way, I was just thinking aobut it. For the mean time, I'll jsut keep driving...

In keyboarding today we started wrod processing, which is much better than regular keying (which I haven't technnically finished, shhh) because you can look at the keys as you do it and if you were really desperate, you could just put your name on someone else's paper and turn it in. Yes. Score.

Okay, I'm going to go wander off somewhere. don't miss me.
