things I have been worried about

1) While at the library yesterday, using the computer to look at my really personal student loan documents, a large man at another computer started to laugh. I am worried that he hacked into the secret library network to see all of my personal financial information (so he could steal it).

2) I haven't gotten a credit card offer from WaMu in the mail for a few weeks. I think someone might have taken out a card in my name after digging through my mail or garbage.

An oldie but a goodie: A few months ago a student loan payment check I mailed never went through. Someone probably snatched it to steal my identity, but after realizing I have nothing likely gave it back.

There was a really nice day a few weeks ago. On the 72, there were two sassy teens wearing the same monochromic short short and lil' hoodie outfits. One was in hot green, while the other had chosen hot pink. While they were stepping off the bus, a woman in front of me answered a phone call. This was all I heard: "Wait, pictures of what? They went public? They will pay... they will pay."

Last week I went a little overboard while making lunch and loaded my quesadilla with too many fillings. I had to eat it with a knife and fork, which worked out pretty well cleanliness-wise, but really I only worried that I looked like some freak from this episode of Seinfeld.

I found out that quesadilla means "little cheesy thing".

One of the more depressing features of my life right now is the fact that the only people I recognize are people who ride my bus, and the only time I recognize them is when I am riding the bus.

Today I went somewhere really nice. Guess where it was? It was Oxbow Regional Park in Gresham. All you do is travel eastward on the street that is Division and ride through some xmas tree farms for a while. Then you are there and it is so great! There was a really great rapidly flowing river, and some really nice birds. I never thought that I was going to die while I was there, plus the air smells nice. For an hour after I left my nearsightedness was temporarily cured, I think.

It was better than the Grotto, but you should still go to the Grotto. If you go to the place where Sandy and 82nd cross and walk 15 yards past the 7-11, all of a sudden you are in a catholic wonderland devoted to the Virgin Mary. Half of The Grotto is this paved walkway surrounded by greenery with depictions of the Stations of the Cross cast from bronze that is below a cliff. Into the cliff is a shallow cave with the main display inside. It's really pretty! If you pay $3.50 you can buy a coin that lets you ride the elevator, where the rest of the Grotto is. That part is even better!

just more sitcom chat

I have been thinking about this episode of Seinfeld recently. I think it's because I have a lot in common with it right now. I hope the chicks' lamp doesn't turn me into Kramer. It's amazing how topical Seinfeld still is after all these years.

oh great, I am both chandler and joey

On Saturday Timothy and I went to Foster's Feed and Seed. There we bought three chicks and one baby duck. Wow, these birds are great! They live in my room, where they smell it up and make it hot with their heating lamp. They wake me up sometimes at night with their scuffling, but I don't mind as I have not slept through the night in months anyway. Their peeps are so small that they are no bother. The duck is growing faster than the chicks. I'm lovin' motherhood!
