Let Me Introduce You To Neville

This is Neville.

I found him at my local Safeway while grocery shopping. We locked eyes from across the canned tomatoes isle and in that instant -  I knew he was destined to come home with me.

I agonized over what to name him. I finally settled on "Neville" - a good, solid, comforting name. "Neville Longbottom?" you ask.

I'd like to think he was named after Neville Chamberlain.

I'd like to think I'm doing Chamberlain a favour by naming a plant after him - so few people remember him anyways.

So now Neville sits on my windowsill, guarding my house from ninjas, hobos, and other unwanted guests.

I sense the beginning of a great friendship.

On the Eve of Twenty Pt2

This is a song I would sing to my family, if I was as good looking as Will Smith.

Oh, and replace the lyrics "best man" with "best family".

I will never leave you. LIKE AN ODD SMELL.

On the Eve of Twenty

I think I'm having a mid-life crisis....early...
But the good kind. The kind that makes me review my life and write out a list things that I want to accomplish.

As I have no sense of privacy, here is that list:

• finish school with a respectable GPA (3.5 would be nice)
• start biking seriously again
• ride something fast and dangerous, just once. Hopefully a Kawasaki Ninja!

(I said JUST ONCE)

• be able to visit Izzy this summer
• remember to let my family that I love them

It's especially this last goal that I think should have been on my list not just this year, but the year before that, and the one before that, and etc...

It's been an interesting 20 years. Maybe it's time that I start acting like an adult and give something back.

Just not money though. Cuz I don't have any.

Monday: study. eat. music.

Best Monday ever.

I Apologise for My Weekend

For your sakes, I would have wished my weekend to be filled with more car-chases, flying bullets and tight-rope walking - in general just more thrilling.


Unfortunately, so far I've just made bean soup and organised my recycling.

.... and I think I ate too much soup.
