nerves abound folks, time is flyin and felly is still apartment and job less!

you know if i'm referring to myself in the 3rd person i must be going nuts.

in one week from now i'll be in buffalo checking out apartments. i told my mother this mornign that i was not in any way interested in staying with my grandparents. she gratefully understood.

anyone know of any campgrounds near buffalo that i can stay at?

i spent a good 5 hours sitting in the garage painting last night. i was listening to a harry potter book on tape to keep my mind from going nuts as i was doing some detail work on the branches of a tree. Could you imagine painting tree branches for 5 hours without developing an annoying eye twitch? yeah i guess i'm just floored that it happened.

also - i have decided that for my big going away bash i am getting a kareoke machine. because the idea of some of my friends getting smashed out of their mind and singing 'girls just wanna have fun' makes my stomach tingle with glee. or maybe thats just the pizza that i had for lunch.

okay i get to leave work in no more than 20 minutes.

OH WAIT! i have an amazing story that I have to pass along.


About 3 houses down and across the street live these group of weirdo hippies. i mean these guys even have one of those purple hippie vw busses! anyway the other night there was firetrucks heading out that way. i got very nervouse because this place is right across from the bed and breakfast that jess runs - and she would have had to be institutionalized if anything happened there.

so apparently this is what happened.....

their cat died. so they decided that, instead of burying the poor thing, they should cremate it. yes... they decided to cremate their own cat. So they had a memorial service and played guitars for the cat and sang like the hippies that they are.......but apparently they waited too long to cremate it - as in it had been dead for a few days and started to fill with decomposition gases. so they tossed the cat in a ditch and poured gasoline over it. when they threw the match at the gasoline soaked/gas filled dead kitty the sucker exploded. EXPLODING CAT! the explosion managed to ignite a nearby ranshackle shed and thus the fire department.

this story was related to jess by the guests at the bed and breakfast that sat there and watched the whole thing happen.

am i sure that i want to leave this town?

    In the theater of the mind, I like to imagine these hippies standing around in a circle with the gasoline drenched cat in the middle. They are singing as they throw the match on and KABOOM!

    THe hippies are then covered in fur and mysterious green goo.


    You have made me laugh before in your journal. But never have I uncontrollably bounced up and down in my chair flailing my arms.

    God bless you Felly. ;_;

    His flailing, it went on and on.

    Hilarious.

    I thought you were already in Buffalo. Where are you? How long will you need a place to stay?

    If you don't have any pets with you, you could stay at our house, we have plenty of room. Unfortunately, I am deathly allergic to animals. You could even have your own bed, and 1 of 3 guest rooms to choose from.

    James: i do not doubt in my mind that your vision of the event was exactly as it happened.

    Jim: it must be the italian in him.

    Drew: we move to buffalo in july

    paul: we won't be bringing our cats until we are settled, though we do have the typical lesbianic layer of cat hair permanantly affixed to our clothing.
