2 guys sitting side by side. guy1 has bad skin, bites his nails and has a curly goatee that he obviously takes great pride in .. guy2 is shorter, also has bad skin and bites his nails, dressed all in black (i.e. baggy jeans and button-up shirt buttoned all the way to the top). and a big silver ankh.
guy 3 gets on the bus about halfway through the journey, and he looks pretty normal. and he knows guy1 so they say hi and he sits down behind them. they're talking about uni life, old schoolmates etc .. and guy1 mentions the anime club. so guy2 interrupts the conversation:
guy 2 >> do you watch anime ??
guy3 >> um .. no ..
guy 2 >> *smirk*cough* deprived
this coming from a guy who's probably going to be a 40-year old virgin, leer at schoolgirls and dress the exact same way as he does now in a vain attempt to be "kyoool".
2) dee suggests i call my car either emma or emily. after emily the strange. i think it's a pretty good idea =) i like emily. emily or lain. adit suggested hathor, after the egyptian queen of the universe who has the stars on her belly. the concept is cool, esp with my recent fascination with egypt .. but hathor is a funny name. not at all car-ish.
lots to post today. get ready .. i'll break it up into nice, easy to read chunks ok ??

Thursday, April 03, 2003 so here's the plan: sisters 1 and 2 go walking to the same spot that sister 2 and i saw the cute cat at .. if it's there, they call me and i'll go pick them up. then i drop them off outside the house and they let themselves in, telling mum that the cat just followed them home. et voila, we have a new family pet !!
that's the cat plan.
ooh. and also, any suggestions for a name for my car ?? it's a silver toyota echo .. no decorations or anything. but it does get pretty dirty 'coz i'm too lazy to wash it often. also, it has a tendency to get messy on the inside. someone suggested henrietta, but it reminds me too much of chickens (sorry nix) ..
i'm thinking "cleopatra" but then .. also maybe not. hmm
