Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

| I had a lack of sleep for several days in a row last week, which ended up causing: lack of gym activity, general laziness and sever depression. My mood plummeted more in the past week than it has in several months. I've ascended up a little but from my rock bottom, but several factors in my life right now have contributed to my latest bout of depression. I don't see an end in sight, but I hope it comes soon.
On to my headline. I was scanning the news wires today, and look what I found:
Lack of sleep sends emotions off the deep end
You might have guessed it, but now researchers have real proof: Sleep deprivation causes our emotions to go haywire....

| I think I'm going to miss summer. But it will be nice to go back to school. I have a friend who is returning from Italy, and I cannot wait to see her!
Doesn't the headline make you want to laugh just a little?
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - A 41-year-old man stormed a beauty salon and
bludgeoned four grandmothers with a hammer, fracturing one's skull,
before making off with less than $90, police said....
Wow. I don't know if I could handle this.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Outside it was a sticky 111 degrees, but
Ali Hamdan was shivering under two parkas as he sipped hot chocolate,
surrounded by tables and chairs made of ice....
P.S. No, I haven't gotten a tattoo.
P.P.S. I did read the last "Harry Potter" book, and I loved it!
P.P.P.S. I saw both "The Simpsons Movie" and "Transformers." Let me just say that one was good, and one was lame. I'm sure you can figure out which was which.

| That's right. I, the ultimate goody-two-shoes, am considering getting a tattoo. It would be one of ultimate dorkdom, however, and it would be very unobstrusive. I am holding off because I am unsure of whether I can handle the pain (as I have a very low pain threshold). If I get this tattoo, it is going to be on the inside of my right ankle (BELOW the bone, thank you very much) and it will say "[sic]." Sans period, of course. I have been thinking about getting it for months, ever since I saw my friend Kelly's question mark tattoo. I think that getting a small "[sic]" would be very me, because it would be small and discreet, yet it would show the grammar freak in me. Plus, it would be pretty cheap because it would just be black "type." No detail required (except maybe a Courier font). And when I'm an old lady, it won't look too silly because it will be on my ankle rather than, say, on my ass. I would have to coordinate a time when I would be off from work for a day or two, so I wouldn't kill myself trying to walk all over the place. I haven't told my mom, especially because I don't even know if I'll go through with it. If I get this, it means I can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery. A few years ago, I may have cared about that, but now I really don't.
P.S. I never found my wallet. I have replaced almost everything from it. I probably just threw it in the trash by accident or something. My new wallet is red, so it will be easier to spot in case I ever lose it.
I like how well the owner dealt with this.
SAGLE, Idaho - Bad dog. Charlie the black lab drove his owner's car
into the Pend Oreille River. As Mark Ewing walked home Wednesday
evening after returning from picking up a pizza, Charlie jumped into
the car through an open window, and apparently knocked the vehicle into
gear....
This is an excellent story by a Time staff writer. I met him once about a year and a half ago, and he was really nice.
Shirley Gordon wanted it all and knew how to get it.
Her gifts for theft and deception brought her a fortune and a
legitimate claim to the title....
I just thought this was too funny, especially since Applebee's is one of my regular hangouts. At least the kid ended up OK.
ANTIOCH, Calif. - Kim Mayorga was confused when her 2-year-old started
making funny faces and pushing away the apple juice he had ordered at
Applebee's. The explanation came when she opened the lid of the sippy
cup and was hit by the smell of tequila and Triple Sec....
More on sippy cups...
ARLINGTON, Va. - The Transportation Security Administration is denying
allegations that an airport screener seized a toddler's sippy cup and
mistreated his mother, taking the unusual step of posting security
camera footage on its Web site.
There are some more fun articles that I found, but I tihnk I've posted enough. Have a great day!

| I'm nearly having a panic attack because I lost my
wallet. I'm trying my hardest not to get all crazy. I checked/had
people check in the only places it could be and nothing has turned up
yet....Wish me luck!
Any words of wisdom?

| So, I had a pretty good birthday (which was Satruday). I got a couple of things, but two of my friends got me a really pretty necklace.
I also got some Starbucks gift cards (surprise, surprise), which were also awesome.
I'm really not feeling too upset about being single right now. I'm not interested in any guy. And there are also some other factors involved.
All in all, thing are going fine right now. There are a couple of things bothering me, but I've been keeping myself busy with work, friends and (surprise!) a gym membership. I joined last week (partially thanks to my friend Josy), and I hope I actually keep with it. I get a $10 a month discount for working at Publix, too.
As far as friends go, my social schedule has changed a bit. The friends I used to be really close with are no longer as close as they were, for a couple of reasons I've been spending a lot more time lately with friends I've met at school. There are some good and bad things about this, none of which I care to elaborate on.
I am delving into Stein right now. The book I'm reading now is pretty interesting, but I don't know if I will keep reading Stein. Her writing style is really very strange. For example: The book I'm reading now, it is not too long no it is actually pretty short. It is short. Less than 200 pages it is a short book and it is by Gertrude Stein.
On second thought, it could be fun to write like that....
