The Four Friends
Ernest was an elephant, a great big fellow,
Leonard was a lion with a six-foot tail,
George was a goat, and his beard was yellow,
And James was a very small snail.

Leonard had a stall, and a great big strong one,
Ernest had a manger, and its walls were thick,
George found a pen, but I think it was the wrong one,
And James sat down on a brick.

Ernest started trumpeting, and cracked his manger,
Leonard started roaring, and shivered his stall,
James gave the huffle of a snail in danger
And nobody heard him at all.

Ernest started trumpeting and raised such a rumpus,
Leonard started roaring and trying to kick,
James went a journey with the goat's new compass
And he reached the end of his brick.

Ernest was an elephant and very well-intentioned,
Leonard was a lion with a brave new tail,
Goerge was a goat, as I think I have mentioned,
But James was only a snail.

A.A. Milne - When We Were Very Young

that is the cutest book in the world! thanks to nici for lending it to me! i read it home on the subway and it made me feel so much younger, relaxed, and it sort of brought me back to reality. afterall, since i've gone to university, i've been reading insane amounts of textbooks and philosophy books, and when i do go to chapters, i read magazines or archies...and this little poetry book made me think of being so little again and pretending and everything! this is why it's so great to be little again! i hadn't realized how much i'd grown up...sure i'm still CRAZY...but i'm older crazy!

anyway...just another indication that i'm still little...i hole-punched my finger...yup that's right...i HOLE-PUNCHED IT! i was hole-punching some notes, but i wasn't really paying attention to what i was doing...i was listening to my sister and dad's conversation...when it happened...yeh...silly me...i'm such a klutz! georges paid $45 for a nipple piercing monday, and i get a free finger stabbing at home...hahaha

so it's snowing...again...what happened to spring?!?!? but it's a COOL snow...it's very feathery...like you can slid in the snow...and the snow will go FLYING in little pebbles...it's fun...but still...i'm tired of the snow! it ruined a beautiful nite of classical music! i went for about an hour of philharmonic concert being held at hart house...immanuel invited me to go...and i haven't listened to any REAL classical music for a very long time and went to see them...i was there to hear them play beethoven's symphony no. 5 in C minor, Op.67....it was sooooo good! i'm glad i went...but i felt bad cuz i was missing vivaldi and igor stravinsky's firebird suite! ahh!

i spent two hours at second cup! what a GREAT two hours! i was there with robin, matthew, geordie and nici...and it was sooo much fun! i don't think i've laughed so much in such a long time! it's such a different atmosphere with these ppl! it's so much more fun, and crazy! everything is sooo laid back and not so serious...and you don't have to watch what you're doing or saying...no back stabbing or anything retarded...so...free...

all in all, a fun day...week....whatever...BUT now i must get started on my essay that was due....today!
