Been here 11 years now – wow! It’s hard to believe I started off the year wondering if I’d survive it.

Just a couple more days now till he sees the discrimination people. If he were of color, they’d be like, “Oh, you poor guy,” but seeing that he’s not, they’re just gonna be like, “Come back when you can prove your case.”

I still don’t see how he can’t judge by groups. I mean, yes it’s true that there are good and bad in all kinds, but some kinds have a hell of a lot more bad than good in them. Still, you definitely can’t put everybody into the neat little boxes society’s set up for them. It’s been tried with me a zillion times, but I just don’t seem to fit in any of them. Perhaps I don’t want to.

Tom said he noticed something that would explain the bad vibe I had the other day and that’s that the windshield on the car is so badly cracked now that it’s going to be replaced Wednesday afternoon. I guess it’s just due to age, heat and sun.

We’re not sure what the stakes mean across from next door, but I’d say someone bought the property, split it up, and is waiting for more houses to arrive and be set up before they get sold/rented. I think that’d explain why we haven’t seen anyone working on the one new house that’s there so far as of yet. Either way, as soon as it’s occupied, their dogs will tell us so.

I’m thinking of going on a two-week diet that will be the hardest diet I ever did, but it’ll be free. I was thinking of doing it from July 1st – 14th where I eat every other day and don’t eat every other day. That will add up to a week of starving. If I make sure not to starve more than one day in a row, I shouldn’t lose muscle. I’m thinking I can lose about 15 pounds this way which would put me to 110.

I did get the computer info on José returned to me, so I’ll let Mary know in case she didn’t get a rejection slip. I don’t know how the hell she can be attracted to this cock. He’s fucking ugly, but so is 95% of the male population as far as I’m concerned.

I was glad to hear she’s reading my story more than once. She complimented both pictures of me and of stuff I got and begged me to make her better. She has the flu, I guess. I told her I wasn’t able to help Tom when he had a cold and that I can’t seem to influence my own physical self, but I’ll try.

She asked for some song lyrics so I sent those, along with a list of all the artists I’ve got MP3s on, promising her copies once she’s free.

She said she discovered that if she spends all her money, she won’t get back-charged on rent, and she dyed her bangs blue with pen ink.

All she sent was a 6-page draft because she’s having trouble concentrating with all the noise and commotion going on there.

Little by little I’m doing micro braids in my hair. You know how thick and long my hair is, though, so it’ll probably take me a week to do them all, but once they’re done they can stay in for a few weeks. It gives me a break from having to brush it and it looks way cool!
